Busch Gardens Tampa and Adventure Island to Reopen June 11

With the reopening of several states, comes the reopening over several theme parks. And, that’s no exception for SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc.

Busch Gardens Tampa and Adventure Island is set to reopen June 11, which was part of the phased reopening, approved by the State of Florida. Guests can expect to see enhanced health and safety protocols for cleaning and sanitizing, physical distancing, face-covering requirements, and temperature screenings.

Similar to other parks, a new online reservation system will be used to help manage capacity, and ensure proper social distancing.
