Busch Gardens All Day Dining
We had a great day at Busch Gardens Tamps Bay last year and can’t wait to go again next summer. It’s a great theme park, where you can easily spend all day if the weather’s on your side. So what would be better than being about to have all day dining to enjoy during your trip too? Read on to find out more.
What is Busch Gardens?
Part of the Seaworld Parks group, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an epic family adventure. Covering 300 acres of land, it includes so many attractions based on exotic explorations around the world. It has a really nice blend of thrilling rides interwoven with one of the country’s top zoos, home to more than 12,000 animals. There are also live shows, shops, games and, obviously, restaurants and snack kiosks.
Where to get Busch Gardens park tickets?
We tend to buy our admission tickets during Black Friday from Orlando Attraction Tickets, FloridaTix or Attraction Tickets. However, the Seaworld group often has great special offers so it’s worth checking their website for up to date prices alongside park hours and any other frequently asked questions that you might find useful.

Is the Busch Gardens all day dining worth it?
If you would usually buy food and drinks at a theme park, and are planning on spending all day at Busch Gardens, then the all day dining deal is great value. If you tend to just have a big breakfast before you go, take snacks with you and eat a big meal when you leave, then you may not get the same value from the all day dining deal and it may feel like more of an indulgence.
Can I use the add day dining deal at other Sea World parks?
The all day dining deal can only be used at the park where it is booked to be used. However, Seaworld Orlando and Aquatica water park both have similar all day dining deals as well as Busch Gardens Williamsburg. This is much like the dining plans at Universal Orlando or Disney, just Sea World’s own version.
You don’t need an all day dining deal at Discovery Cove as all day dining is included in the cost of your Discovery Cove package. You can find out more about Discovery Cove in these posts here:
