Busch Gardens Tampa turns 60 on March 31st, and the park is pulling out all the stops to celebrate this milestone with the announcement of some new limited time offerings!
Busch Gardens Social Media Sweepstakes
In partnership with the Gold & Diamond Source jewelry store, the park announced an online sweepstakes via social media this week. With one play per day, participants will be entered to win a grand prize $5000 gift certificate to the Gold & Diamond Source or a specialty gold and diamond tiger pendant. Each day there are instant-win opportunities for park tickets and the Serengeti Safari experience. No purchase necessary to participate, winners will be selected after the sweepstakes ends on Friday, May 17, 2019.
Busch Gardens Tampa Scavenger Hunt
Park guests are invited to take a stroll down memory lane as they embark upon an all-new scavenger hunt honoring 60 years of Busch Gardens history. As guests arrive at the park, they can pick up their complimentary scavenger hunt guide and follow the clues to iconic moments of the past. Each location will feature a code word for guests to unlock a mystery on their guide. Guests who finish their scavenger hunt can visit the Emporium, Xcursions or Painted Camel gift shops to receive a complimentary 60th Anniversary Celebration button.
Rhino Birthday Bash
The park’s anniversary isn’t the only milestone this March – one of its most beloved resident animals is also celebrating a big year. The Busch Gardens zoo team is offering a special opportunity for guests to meet Jody, a critically endangered black rhinoceros, in honor of her 30th birthday this month. For one weekend only from March 29-31, guests can book the Rhino Endangered Species Tour for an up-close encounter with Jody.
