It really reminds me a lot of the St. Louis zoo. I live in St. Louis and am a member there, and it is a well rated zoo (Usually on most surveys the St. Louis Zoo and San Diego zoo come n 1 and 2). It does have some excellent coasters and some shows that many people enjoy (I'm not all that impressed with the shows myself, but other family members like them). For me personally it would not be worth it to go all the way from Orlando, as there are so many great parks right in Orlando that I like better and I'm only going to visit so many theme parks in any one vacation. All that said, on my next mini Orlando trip, I am flying into Tampa, spending the day with my favorite cousin who lives in Tampa, going with him to Busch Gardens for about six hours the next day, and then taking the train to Orlando and doing a mini vacation there with my son who will be flying in. DH stays home as he doesn't care for any of the theme parks. Now SeaWorld owned by the same company is a favorite park of ours (right in Orlando), and pricing to do both (combo ticket) is quite attractve. // The safari to feed the giraffes at Busch is pretty fun too and I'm going to fork over the extra money to do that at Busch with my cousin on my next trip too. // If you like the other park in Williamsburg, though, you might for fun want to check this one out. I've never been that big a fan of either Busch park -- liked them both, but didn't love either.
