Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is getting wild with its latest groundbreaking addition: the all new Wild Oasis realm, set to debut in Spring 2025. Promising to be North America's most immersive and interactive adventure zone, this new space—located in the Jungala area—promises an experience that will ignite the senses and the imagination.

Expect non-stop, family-friendly fun with a dazzling reimagined drop tower packed with cutting-edge digital and sound effects, a splashy water-play wonderland and a towering multi-level climbing canopy. And it wouldn’t be Busch Gardens without an animal experience—the new realm will feature up-close encounters in a brand-new multi-species habitat featuring some of the world's most fascinating creatures.

"It's been five years since guests last stepped foot in the tucked away realm of Treetop Trails in the Jungala area of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and we are thrilled to breathe new life into this corner of the park with the development of this realm," says Stewart Clark, President of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. "The all-new Wild Oasis truly offers something for everyone – whether you love the thrill of the ride or learning about animals, getting wet or climbing high, or just cooling off under the shade of the rainforest canopy."

The park's newest coaster is North America's tallest and longest inverted family coaster.
