New area will be immersive and interactive

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is opening the new ‘Wild Oasis’ realm in 2025. This will feature new attractions, animal exhibits and interactive elements.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay describes the new area, located in the Jungala area of the park, as the most immersive, engaging and interactive “adventure realm” in North America.

This rainforest-themed realm will feature a reimagined drop tower with state-of-the-art digital and sound effects, an interactive water play area, and a multi-level climbing canopy, as well as a new, multi-species animal habitat.

New attractions and animal habit

“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,” said 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.”

Earlier this year, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay opened its new family-friendly suspended coaster, Phoenix Rising. Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M), Phoenix Rising is the park’s 10th coaster.
