Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay is an absolute dump. We got free tickets and took the kids and I kept telling my wife how much I loved the place as a kid 25 years ago... Man how age changed my perspective.
There was trash everywhere. Facilities were in disrepair and dirty. The staff gave off a vibe of resentment to guests.
If anyone is still going to that place, and enjoying it, I'd be surprised.
The areas around it are ripe with violence, drug and human trafficking. Worst parts of Tampa, right there. Most tourists don’t know this and book reservations at seemingly nice hotel chains. Nope. Don’t stay near it and don’t go.
And Sea World - Same company owns both.
Use to love going to Bush Gardens in the 70's, but unshaven was the thing back then

Huge park here in VA. Hope they feel the pain and Kings Dominion gets their business.
