Review of BUSCH GARDENS

An awesome experience from start to finish; howeve...

An awesome experience from start to finish; however, be prepared for your visit to be expensive - entry tickets, parking, food, drinks, souvenirs.

Walking through the front gate, you can already tell that you've entered a breath-taking, flower-trimmed wonderland. The grounds are impeccably kept. You can hear the screams from those on the massive roller coasters available throughout the park. All employees are so well trained that no matter what, they will greet and help you with great enthusiasm throughout your visit.

Strollers, wheelchairs and electric mobility scooters are available for an additional fee.

Be prepared to spend quite a bit on food that's available nearly everywhere you go. It's pricey - but well worth it! Everything you buy - meals, drinks, etc - it's all top notch. Restrooms are plentiful throughout. There will be heavy crowds during the summer but the flow is very doable. All sorts of free offerings in the way of rides for all ages, shows and events planned, including some popular concerts.

Parking comes at a hefty price if you want to keep your car close to the entrance. Otherwise, there are lots where you can catch a tram that will take you to and from the entrance.
