I live in Tampa, FL and one thing I used to do as a kid was go to Busch Gardens.
It is an amusement park and is basically all wooden structures.
I loved going as a kid. I had fond memories of eating bad food, riding the different machines, and being a bit sunburned. Once I got older it was nice taking a break from theme parks. As an adult I got to enjoy the nightlife and city side of Tampa. I got to drink, eat great food, and see some local sporting events. Then I became a mom of three. I have young kids that are constantly on me to do things. We have gone to the zoo, aquarium, mini golfing, and bowling. Recently I started googling things to do in Tampa, Florida and I found Busch Gardens. Oh my, it begins again. Now my husband and I are regulars at the park again. It is awful being an adult at an amusement park. It is a full time job making sure my kids don’t get sunburned. I hate that the food is unhealthy and I usually pack healthier options. I don’t like waiting around for a cheap ride that is going to make me sick. More often than not I hold the spot in line and my husband is the one that is forced to ride. We go basically all summer to that park. I am thankful that Tampa has so many kid friendly things to do, but I wish I didn’t have to do that amusement park all the time.
