Most of the crowds at
Busch gardens seem to head to the right of
Morocco and tour the park in an anti-clockwise
direction. It may be a good idea to try a
clockwise touring plan, where the first Area we
would encounter would be the Bird Gardens.
Lory Landing
A domed habitat that houses a variety of
brilliantly coloured birds, including several
species of parrot and a flock of lively
Lorikeets. For $1.00 you can feed them nectar, a
special juice mixed just for them.
Flamingo Island
One of the largest flocks of Caribbean Flamingos
in captivity.
Aviary
Nearly 200 species of bird, including Macaws and
Egrets fly freely amongst the trees in a
walk-through cage.
Bird Show Theatre
An open ampitheatre houses a 30- minute World of
Birds live show, which displays macaws, condors,
and eagles performing natural behaviours. You can
also have your photo taken with one of the birds
after the show.
Koala House
An elaborate display with Chinese motifs is home
to a group of four Pandas. You may also spot some
Koalas and some Joey's, (baby Koalas). There is a
people mover that you can ride for a close-up
view.
GWAZI
Twin wooden roller coasters that depart the
station together, separate- and then speed
towards each other, toward an apparent head-on
collision. Whether choosing the Gwazi Lion, or
the Gwazi Tiger experience, you will encounter 6
flybys where the two trains dive at each other at
a combined speed of 100mph, during the race to
finish first. Themed after a fabled animal with
the body of a lion, and the head of a tiger. Ride
duration is 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
Land of the Dragons
Land of the Dragons is a cluster of Kiddie sized
attractions in a wet playground. Rope climbs and
bouncing walkways fill a three-storey Tree House
at the centre of an Enchanted Forest, where
you'll also find one of a kind slides, a gentle
waterfall, along with some colourful rides and a
friendly dragon named Dumphrey. Loud speakers
play annoying kiddie songs, and several times a
day the trainers will tell animal stories with
live animals as props. We may have to wait until
later in the day or we may never get Beth out of
there, or go at midday to get some relief from
the sun.
Height restriction on children's rides is a
maximum of 56" tall.
