The African-themed Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is home to thrilling roller coasters and other rides, shows, restaurants and more than 2,000 animals. In the park, make sure your family takes the opportunity to experience the musical show KaTonga: Musical Tales from the Jungle, which will seemingly transport you into the heart of Africa.

The park offers discounted tickets to groups of 15 or more. For groups of 50 or more, the park offers catered picnics and various function spaces. The park, located about an hour west of the Orlando area, doesn't have on-site hotels. But like SeaWorld, Busch Gardens provides contact information for nearby, preferred hotels.
