Treetop Trails and Swimming Tigers at Busch Gardens

Treetop Trails and Swimming Tigers at Busch Gardens

The Busch Gardens Africa theme park in Tampa, Fla., has a new attraction in time for summer, Jungala. The four-acre area, in the Congo section of the park, left, offers opportunities to observe orangutans from treetop observation platforms, tigers swimming from a split-level underwater area and creatures like white-cheeked gibbons and flying foxes.

The Jungala section of Bush Gardens.

There are also two new rides: Jungle Flyers, a zip-lining experience, and Wild Surge, a four-story ride beginning and ending in a crater, and which shoots out of the top of a waterfall. People inspired by the orangutans can explore the treetop trails, which have climbing nets, bridges, crawl tubes and mazes.

A one-day pass, purchased in advance online ($64.95 for adults; $54.95 for children 3 to 9), allows for a free second day, or adults can buy a Be a Kid Again ticket at the children’s rate and visit the park for just one day
