Busch Gardens has increased security procedures, which may result in slight delays while entering the park. As a part of this process:

• All bags, backpacks, and packages are subject to inspection prior to entering the park.
• As a reminder, the following items are not permitted to be brought into Busch Gardens for the safety of our animals and our guests: weapons, knives, any other type of sharp objects, straws, large hard or soft coolers, and any hazardous items or materials.

• Busch Gardens is not responsible for fire, theft, damage or loss of vehicle including articles left within.

SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment is committed to providing guests a safe and enjoyable experience. Because of different pathway configuration and terrain as well as large crowds that include small children and strollers, we regret that we cannot permit the use of two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicles such as Segways. We are pleased to offer other forms of personal transportation, including electric convenience vehicles and standard wheelchairs and we encourage you to contact Guest Services with any questions you may have.

Trained service animals are welcome at Busch Gardens. However, these animals must remain on a leash or in a harness. Guests are responsible for the cleanup of service animal waste and behavior control and the service animals must be accompanied by their owner or another party member at all times.

Busch Gardens staff members are not permitted to care for service animals.

Busch Gardens and Water Country USA are committed to a safe and friendly environment; therefore we have provided designated smoking stations throughout the park. All indoor areas will remain smoke free environments. Outdoor smoking stations are designated in guest areas by smoking urns, benches and "designated Smoking Area" signs. These signs are clearly denoted on the park maps.

Keep an eye out for some amazing new technology when you visit Busch Gardens and Water Country USA. It's called "Touch-n-Go."

Touch-n-Go allows you to enter the park by simply inserting your season pass or multi-day ticket and touching a scanner. This system uses several points on your finger to make a calculation. The calculation is unique to you. Whenever you visit the park, Touch-n-Go will scan, recalculate and compare the answer to the one from the original scan. You will have to register on your first park visit, but it's simply a matter of touching the scanner with one finger after that. You'll still need your pass, but you can leave your picture ID in your pocket. Touch-n-Go is the fastest way to make sure no one has stolen your valuable pass.

Except when participating in an event intended for young guests such as our Adventure Camps, sleepovers, birthday parties and educational programs, Busch Gardens suggests that visitors 13 and younger be accompanied by an adult.

Guests must be 18 years or older to rent strollers and/or wheelchairs.

• Double Stroller - $16
• Manual Wheelchair - $15
• Electric Convenience Vehicle - $45

Wheelchair access is provided at all shows and attractions. For safety reasons all strollers must be parked outside of most exhibits and attractions. Busch Gardens is not responsible for strollers or their contents left unattended in the park.
