A brand new show to Busch Gardens Tampa has launched at the Stanleyville Theater. Cirque Electric features an awe-inspiring acrobatic stunt show that has been exclusively produced for Busch Gardens.

Summer Nights Menu
Backyard summer cookouts are the inspiration for a range of eats and treats during Busch Gardens Summer Nights. You’ll find walkable takes on BBQ classics, sweet and desserts and more. Food locations will be all along the festival pathway and at various locations throughout Busch Gardens Tampa.
Thrill Rides in The Dark
Tigris, Falcon’s Fury, Cheetah Hunt, SheiKra, Montu, Kumba and Cobra’s Curse, will keep your blood pressure bubbling along nicely.
Busch Gardens in Tampa has it all, in my humble opinion. Alongside the impressive open air zoo, Serengeti Plain, covering 65 acres and traversed by the Serengeti Railway steam train, are some of the most exciting thrill rides in Florida.
