Busch Gardens & Adventure Island

Busch Gardens and Adventure Island in Tampa are just under 90 minutes from the villa, and will happily fill a couple of days of your time in Florida. Adventure Island is a large water park across the street from Busch Gardens and well worth a visit if you are a water baby! Considered by many as the Wet n Wild of the south, just remember to take plenty of suncream.

Busch Gardens Africa (as it is now officially titled) embodies the conservation work the major organisations and governments are practicing worldwide. This park offers far more than just rides and shows, you can see up close many of the world's endangered species, and get even closer with the park's many behind the scenes tours and experiences. They have faithfully re-created a large-scale representation of the African Savanna, right down to the plants and bugs you would expect to find in Africa.

The animals roam freely and can be viewed from various different places, including the obligatory safari ride, and the new Rhino Rally - a safari adventure that turns wild...

The rides on offer here are among the best Florida has to offer, from the fearsome twin-track racing wooden coaster Gwazi to the newest addition, the floorless vertical drop coaster Sheikra. Hold on to your hats, and don't eat just before you ride...
