Customer Reviews
Cost of food within BG... too much! Lines for rides reasonble. Grounds clean with beautiful plants. The Irish show was professional and entertaining. The Italian themed area was lame. NOISY and irritating! The canned conductor on the train was ride very grating.

-Janet Lundeen, Falls Church, VA
Enjoyed our visit to Busch Gardens with the exception of the food at October Fest The prices were too high for the amount of food you received The carved roast turkey sandwich was not sliced turkey but chunks of turkey small tomatoe slice and a wilted piece of lettuce The potatoe chips were not good at all They were suppose to be homeade but were terrible Could not eat them. threw them away But other than that we had a terrific time
