Parking was $6 (a doller less than the others) & entry costs about the same but for 10$ more each, you can get into the adjacent Adventur Island water park on another day if you wish. We decided due to the unpredictable weather from the dying ... more

So there it is, after my 2nd trip in 3 years to Florida & having visited Magic Kingdom twice, Animal Kingdom 3 times, Epcott once, MGM once, Universal once & now Busch Gardens once I would rate them as follows. This is of course not only on what I preferred but I take into consideration my kids who are 4, 8 & 11, my wife & I along with the In-laws.

Tampa is a wonderful place. Nestling on the west coast of the florida peninsula it is a largely underestimated place. A couple of small theme parks are only a few miles away and to the west the beaches stretch right down to the the tampa bridge. The beaches are golden fine sand and have a lots of room for sunbathing. THe people are very friendly and welcome you in. Bear in mind that you need to be 21 to drink but the bar tenders are not that strict. From tampa it is possible to reach New Orleans in about an hour or so and the airport is quite quiet too. I drove from here down to the everglades which toook about 4/5 hours but the drive is amazing. Tampa ... Read the complete review
