Dear Readers, Busch Gardens is a great place to go. It has a lot of animals and rides. I love going to the baby animal shelter. There are also games and lots of restaurants at Busch Gardens. At Lory Landing you can feed the birds. Timbaktu has rides and an arcade were you can win cool prizes.

Did you know?

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay also has Jungala in the Congo area, where you can to discover exotic creatures, explore a village hidden deep in the jungle and connect with the inhabitants of the lush landscape through up-close animal interactions, multi-story family play areas, rides and live entertainment.

Discover A Whole New World At Busch Gardens Jungala

Jungala completely immerses you in the animals’ world. From atop the tallest trees or beneath the jungle floor, you'll encounter two of the world’s most endangered species; the Bengal tigers and orangutans. This is a unique experience where you can observe these amazing creatures via treetop platforms. Imagine watching orangutans within their family groups or while they rest in a specially designed tree house.

Special subterranean caves and underwater windows offer a clear view of tigers swimming in their temperature-controlled plunge pool, while natural bridges and bamboo screens bring guests closer to these exotic predators than ever before. Acrobatic gibbons, flying foxes and mysterious tomistomas also make this exotic rainforest home.

Two signature rides add to the excitement of Jungala: a zip line experience offers three different flight patterns above the tree tops for young adventurers and another ride launches guests up above a towering waterfall. A 3-story family climbing area allows visitors to ascend through the tree canopy on rope bridges to explore the different layers of jungle life, and a children’s water-play area allows even the youngest explorers to interact with the environment.

Jungala also offers two dining options at Busch Gardens. The Bengal Bistro, a newly remodeled version of the popular Vivi Restaurant, and the Orang Café that offers seasonal entrées, salads and sandwiches, premium snacks and expanded children's’ menus for hungry explorers of all ages.
