Best day to visit Busch Gardens

Geordie boy 57 · 24 Dec 17, 05:46 PM

Planning our days for October next year
Want to do a beach day at Clearwater and stay overnight
Then do Busch Gardens the next day
Is it best to avoid weekends or is everyday just the same

Week days are definitely less busy in the summer. Not sure about Oct

We always go in October and and have always been on a Monday when we visit Busch Gardens and have always found it easy to get on rides with very little waiting time.

Is it ever busy? We went early August and it was empty

Looks like we can pick any day
We arrive on a Monday teatime and don't plan any parks till the Wed
Which will be DC with swim
Was thinking Seaworld on the Thursday and then drive to Clearwater on the Friday, stop overnight and do Busch on the Saturday
We can then start using our Disney/ Universal 14 day tickets

You will get the locals at the weekends as it�s quite cheap for residents to get a yearly pass.

Apologies for the slight thread hijack - do you need to plan more than a day at Busch Gardens?

I know that it's a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question, just trying to understand if you can get round the main rides, maybe a couple of them more than once, in a day trip from Orlando.

Have a 13yo who likes big thrill rides and a 10yo who is not quite as brave. Will be in Orlando at Easter for just over a week, have flexibility within that regarding when we go.

Any advice appreciated.

Always best to avoid any Parks or Beaches for that matter at weekend but shouldn�t be a showstopper if that is when you would prefer to go. Busch Gardens in particular is rarely that busy.

Will either be doing Sat 6th Oct or Sunday 7th as Ive now booked a night at Pier House 60 hotel for the 6th
Perfect end to our first week
Then on the Monday activate our 14 day Disney tickets
