Top Tips:

Natalie

If you are only visiting for one day in the peak season and are lucky enough to have a bit of spare money, it may be worth your while to purchase a QuickQueue ticket ($15-25 a day) to allow you to bypass long queues at the major attractions. I wish Busch Gardens offered a free, FASTPASS-style system, but in its absence QuickQueue can help.
