More information on Adventure Island
From four-foot waves in the Endless Surf wave pool to body flumes, twisting water slides and thrill rides that splash and slither, this 26-acre park at Busch Gardens is as much fun for I'm-a-kid-again adults as it is for children. You can camp here, too, for a modest charge of $15. Open March to October, the park keeps varying hours that generally run from 10am-6pm daily. Hours change, however, so it's wise to check. Admission is $35.95 adults; $33.95 ages 3-9, excl. taxes.
