Busch Gardens Adventure island Review

If you love being out in the sun and having a place to cool off, this is it!

Long lines to wait in for rides spent about 45 to 50 mins for one ride. Lazy river packed but nice. Food of course is way over priced.

I've Always Had A Big Heart For Adventure Islands , Its Just Nice , Soothing , Comfortable And Just Fun To With The Family And Friends . there Couldn't Be Anything To Make Me Happy . I Love Y'all . Thank You

They are taking measures to keep guests safe and have many stations with hand sanitizer.

Great access from the parking area, and the staff is very friendly. The park is fantastic with both child and adult attractions. The "Lazy River" is a fav . There's a very nice wave pool and the water slides are good from entry level to advanced riders. There's a lot to do here from; sunbathing to extreme water slides. We will definitely be returning.

Rides were all closed due to clouds! We sat there for 3 hours and were still not allowed on rides or any attractions. There were selling food and souvenirs just fine of course! We were never able to go in water or ride any rides. We came here on vacation from Ohio. What a rip off. They stole $200 from us! We are NOT rich! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!

I enjoyed it. Had so much fun I would love to live in Tampa

We enjoyed this water park quite a bit. Be sure to get there early as you will spend all day here!!

Very expensive but great fun. Everything beautifully maintained and clean. Sizes of slides for every taste.

Friendly staff good food and good slides I just wish there were more slides

Great place for the kids! The kids had fun so did we!

Every restaurant, every caffeteria, every snack bar long lines could not be slower.

Family friendly with different scenarios to stay. Beach sand...! Oh yeah!

no notice of ride closers at all. Drove across state to jump off the cliff jump and it was closed. To make it worse we weren't even allow to swin in the deep end of the pool.

Everything is great but this girl in the front entrance was extremely rude and wasn't wearing a name badge when I asked her who she was, she was wearing a green shirt uniform and had star like earrings, extremely rude.

While small, this park has great rides, a lazy river, wave pools, a splash zone for kids, and lots of beach chairs for relaxation. Their All Day Dining deal is worth it, so make sure you get that. A full meal and drink up to every hour, for $38. Great park, lots of fun. Might need a little updating soon, but I had an awesome time anyways.

Loved it fair prices except on food and drinks that gets expensive

Awesome time with the family. The lines were short and the atmosphere was laid back.

We love this place! The water could be a little warmer, and The food could be a little better for the prices but overall we always have a great time when we visit.

It 8a not as big as bushgardens but it 8s fun and delateful to he at

Your slip is showing guys. How many slides and restaurants can you not open on a daily basis before enough is enough? Do the research and you will see repeat comments for years:
-Staffing issues
-cleanliness shortcomings
Talk to your guards and staff....we do.

Paid entirely too much for the park ..Many rides were closed . 2 people in my group needed a facemask . I was charged 22 dollars for 2 facemasks that were only worn upon park entry . I am certainly not a happy camper.

Kids had a blast! Lots of different things to do. At the end of the season, the crowds were not bad, hardly any wait time for rides.

Loved the lazy river. Was a great play to visit with the kids. Wish the water was a little cooler to help with the summer heat. If you need a quick cool off try the kiddy pools.

Fun for the whole family. Although it was kinda cold we enjoy the rides and had a great time at the kids area

Love this water right next to Busch gardens for a whole day of fun

Really fun. The pass is definitely worth it. We could ride something three times passing the same line each time.

Nice clean. Barley anyone there in the afternoons. Great time to go.

It was very aggravating the main pool was divided with a big section closed off. This put so many people in close proximity that I was kicked and hit several times. As was my daughter. There was no good reason for this. As a pass holder this is the first time I have faced this

To whom this concerns,

I wanted to leave a review for your location but had trouble finding anywhere to place one. It s been years since I have been to Adventure Island & figured it was perfect time with my best friend in town, her mother s birthday & my boyfriend who also hasn t been in years. We went today; 4/17/19 & we were sadly disappointed. We figured it was great weather & that there s less tourist being in the middle of the week. But when we got there we saw that most of the adult/group rides were closed down when the park just opened last month. We spent quite a bit of money today with tickets, parking & food/ drinks to leave disappointed that most of the rides fixings could ve been handled during the close season.

super slides, but we had to wait a long time in the queue for tickets despite the fact that we were the third in the queue. great place for children

I love Adventure Island its entertaing and the staff were very helpful

Great place. Only thing is you can't bring a cooler anymore.

Overcrowded and not enough seats. One of the smaller waterparks in Florida. I was not impressed and will not return in the future, even as a platinum pass member.

This place is small and went we went it rain so they close the rides for like 4 hours we didn't enjoy it and pay for nothing .

Not for handicap people. Wait for everything. Everything is a hassle . Didn't even have a wheel chair to rent. The bathrooms are not for handicap people.

Had a great time with the family. Planning a return visit from Cape Coral, FL.

Purchased the weekday pass while on vacation. We went twice and had a blast. All rides were up and running and the waits weren't bad. We didn't have any troubles and the life guards seem to have fun with guests throughout the day. Some rides did seem like they needed more rafts to make rides move a little faster. Overall very impressed with this park as it was our first time visiting. If we are down in this area, we will definitely visit again.

The water is supposedly heated... It was freezing! And the rides are very poorly signed... Your have no idea about height requirements or if you need a tube unless you walk to every slide and search for a ruler or Ali the lifeguard. The actual slides are great, Just difficult with children to see what they can go on. But they do have two really good Kathy areas for kids.

Super fun and the lines are never too long. This place it great!!!

Despite the fact that this water park is small it has plenty to do for anyone from thrill seekers to the folks looking to relax. This park is older and sun faded but well kept up. The parking lot is quite small (unlike bigger amusement parks) so leaving a cooler ect in the car is doable and a great idea. While the food isn't tremendously expensive it isn't cheap either. Do wear crocs (allowed) or swim shoes as the pavement/parking lot is very hot.
Make sure you have your directions right. Have a great time and sunblock is your friend.

Very expensive but a good place to take family and spend a few hours

Amazing haven't been in years went last weekend loved so much recommend highly

Can't beat this place as a cool outside place too cool down from the high heat here in Florida in the summer. All slides were shut down early on Forth of July. Storms were in area. Wave pool open up and half the swimming hole did too. It was for your own safety. Kids play area remained closed most of afternoon. Played volleyball in sand on north end. Food leaves alot to be desired. Not a good eating place. They have picnic areas outside park and is good idea to bring something from home to eat. No drinks allowed HOWEVER you can bring in bottled water.

Great time, nice to have the Fun Card for both Adventure Island and Busch Gardens, but it does get very crowded during summer. We had a great day though!

So fun only bad part was the rides were shut down when we were there

Yes, it's a tourist trap but it's fun!

By trap I mean it's an extra $20 each if you don't buy tickets a day or more in advance, $25 to park, more $ to skip attractions lines, and absolutely no outside food or drink allowed inside the park.

Hint: Pack a picnic and leave it in your car. There is a picnic pavilion in the parking lot. It's a great place to eat, rarely crowded (unless it's raining) and fornthe the price of a single meal inside, you can feed your entire family.

Always great to get away at home. Kids love the wave pool! The crushing waves fascinates them the most. Favorite bite would be a freash chiro. If Bush Gardens could share there secrets on their Smoked Turkey leg and chicken I will add more stars... or secretly email me ; )

We had a company summer picnic gear and it was absolutely awesome. Kids and adults alike enjoyed the water and rides. Very clean, not too crowded and affordable too. Nothing is better than enjoying a hot summer day floating and splashing in the water.

Average waterpark. Nothing over the top and I'd def look for discount tickets online. Their full price admission tickets aren't worth it at all. There isn't much at all for younger kids (under 3) to do at this park. The lazy river was filthy. Expect to pay average of $17 pp for lunch. Kids meals are around $8. Lockers are $15 or $20 for a large locker (average size) per day.

My family had a great time here this summer.This park definitely wears you out.

Great fun, only 15miles away for me, so we go whenever the mood strikes is. Yearly memberships.

I have been coming to Adventure Island for the last 20 years. I have been bringing my kids for the last 15. In those 20 years it has changed alot!! But the changes that were made in the last few years really have me thinking this is the last year we will get the passes! We have always had annual passes but last year we didn't get them due to the conditions of the park the summer before. After summer nights the park would not be clean. We would see all kinds of inappropriate stuff on the sides of the river. We complained to guest services and we were always told that they would handle the problem but.... it would always be dirty. So this year we decided to get the annual passes and try the water park out again and now we r so disappointed with all the new changes. There used to be more areas to sit. Now they cram a bunch of chairs in little areas or charge u for the other areas that used to be free. We also used to be able to bring our own food. As a family that would come a few times a week that really helped with keeping the cost of eating down. Im not going to pay $50 a couple times a week just for lunch, especially considering the food is over priced and isn't that good! We got pizza today and it was so hard and over cooked. It was like cardboard. We also had to leave early cause the park was just so over crowded!! And allot of the teens were throwing floats at people, kicking people, elbowing people in the face. And had no respect for others around them or respect to listen to the lifeguards. Also be careful on the stairs while waiting in line for the water slides there are alot of wasp n nests. I really hope that Adventure Island really listens to all the customers complaints and does a better job to fix the problems!!

Went and they had so many rides closed down and closed early when it wasnt raining.

Maybe it was just a busy day, but it was not very well maintained. Leaves and debris everywhere, and many areas smelled of urine. Sometimes, if you walked through a puddle of really warm water, you just werent sure what you were walking through. Even the lazy river was filled with leaves. Im really surprised since it is a Seaworld park.The so called changing rooms were really just open areas with benches. Like, I really want to get naked with my teenagers and a bunch of other strangers. How about some private changing rooms? The lines were not too long but they seemed to take forever to move people through. Not too happy with our first visit but will go back and give it another chance.

Can't go wrong with this park, I've been coming here my entire life. It's so nice to drink a beer and then float down the lazy river.

We had a blast! We have been to many parks and this one was no different. Rides were accessible food and drinks were expensive. Just the same as any other. I read through the mobile site and couldn't find any rules. But in reading the reviews I understood outside food was not allowed. Well I had a 1 liter coke in my bag, when being searched at the entrance I was advise the soda was not allowed. Which I was Okay with. Well instead of walking all the way back to the car I through the soda in the trash. When I walked away and was getting my tickets printed I noticed one of the security guards took it out of the trash and put it under the counter. How unprofessional is that. I run a business and my employee's actions are the face of my company. I reported it but I don't think anything was done. "Who watches the watchers?" I will most definitely tell this story forever and I feel it's unfair for the company but oh well. I'm not sure if we'll be back but if we do go back I will be better prepared. On a side note for Adventure Island, update your mobile

Great spot to take the family to cool off... Awesome rides
