04 · The parks

What each one is.

Busch Gardens Tampa

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay combines a full theme park with a 300-acre zoo, making it one of the largest combined attractions in the US. The coaster line-up is exceptional: Iron Gwazi (one of the world's top-rated roller coasters), SheiKra (a 200-foot dive coaster), Kumba, Montu (an inverted coaster), Cobra's Curse spinning coaster, and the classic Python. African animal exhibits include rhinos, giraffes and tigers.

Florida summer heat drives queue times into early mornings, while Howl-O-Scream, Christmas Town and US school holidays are the busiest periods. Weekdays in September, October and January stay dramatically calmer. Check live wait times for Iron Gwazi and SheiKra the moment you arrive, and use our crowd calendar to pick a midweek date for marathon coaster days.

Peppa Pig Theme Park Florida

Peppa Pig Theme Park Florida opened in 2022 next to LEGOLAND Florida in Winter Haven. It's the first standalone Peppa Pig theme park in the world and is aimed squarely at preschoolers - all rides have low or no height restrictions, and Peppa, George and family appear throughout the day. Highlights include Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster, Mr. Bull's High Striker, and Peppa's Pedal Bike Tour.

Because the park is small and preschool-focused, queue times stay manageable outside peak Florida school breaks. Spring break and Christmas week push waits up noticeably. Check live wait times before queueing and use our crowd calendar to pick a quieter weekday if you can - midweek mornings feel almost empty.
