Whether you want to take your kids and enjoy some time there since school is out or if you want to go specifically, to enjoy the summer nights, you will have a great time. The team at Busch Gardens recently announced their special summer celebrations, and there are plenty of cool things to look forward to.

  • 1. Iron Gwazi Excitement

    Have you experienced one of their newest coasters, Iron Gwaze? It’s a record-breaking hybrid coaster. If G-forces aren’t your thing, you can enjoy the brand new Grwazi Beats drum and dancing show.

    My favorite attraction in Stanleyville has always been the flumes, but this summer you can check out a retooled Cirque de Soleil show at Stanleyville Theater. The shows run Friday through Monday with shows at 3, 5, and 7 P.M.

  • 4. Live Ice-Skating Show "Turn It Up"

    It cPark goers can cool off while viewing a live ice skating show at Bush Gardens: the world-class skating of Turn It Up. They’ll offer daily performances inside the Moroccan Place Theater.
