    Dont really understand the question - Busch gardens is in Tampa.

    If you mean Orlando to Tampa..it took us over an hour and half..infact now I think about it it took us quite a bit longer than that there were roadworks ( that was Oct 2005 - be finished now I'm sure!)

    Try https://www.mapquest.com It does directions.

    We also had great fun checking out all the theme parks etc before we went on google earth!

    My kids loved Busch gardens - queues were on the whole very short and there are some good rides.

    Great park for rides. The animal bit is a bit sad though. We went twice in November and I would definitely go again. Before we went we bought 21 day passes at £51 each and they also included entrance to SeaWorld in Orlando (which we also did twice!).

    We thought that the sign posting to Busch Gardens was poor though, but we did manage to find it.

    Ive just come back from my 4th visit to orlando.
    The best way to get to Busch Gardens is by the shuttle, this is a free bus (if you have a Flexiticket or $10 each without) and picks up from the macedo on international drive at 8:45 am, i believe they also depart from seaworld however im unsure of the times.
