I've only ever been to Busch Gardens in Tampa so I guess that's all I can comment on! I do love it there though, such a great day out!

Busch Gardens is my number one thing, especially for me because I like thrill rides. For me, I attend lots of sports events when I am there. Bucs, spring training, etc. The rest of the time is spent on the beaches in the St. Pete/Treasure Island area. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun! There's so much to do here!

For a cheap, but delicious mexican meal, hit up Taco Bus. For fast food, I eat at Checkers every time because we don't have it here and I love their fries. I think the fancy restaurant is the Columbia Restaurant or something like that. It's very good, but also very expensive.

I can say no aquariums there are special, but I do like the one in Clearwater (a drive from Tampa). There you can see Winter the Dolphin, which we do every trip as well. Have fun!

Yay for Winter! I love Winter, though I have never seen her in person I go watch the webcam sometimes.

She's great. There's a lot of other things to do and see there though. A truly unique aquarium, and worth a visit. Can get overcrowded though.
