Top Florida Family Vacation - Busch Garden Resources

One of the top five theme parks in Florida, Busch Garden features gravity-defying roller coasters that coexist with beautiful zoo animals. More than 3,000 animals representing more than 320 species make it one of the nation's top zoos.

Theming is turn-of-the-twentieth-century Africa, with ten separate regions in the park-more than 10,000 exotic plants and authentic costuming set the mood. The park covers 335 acres, so take it easy and board the Sky Ride, the monorail(that goes in a circle and will end where you started), or the Trans-Veldt Railroad for an informative overview of the theme park. Opening hours, 365 days ayear, hours very daily; call ahead. Admission charges:$54 for adults, $45 for children ages 3 to 9.
