BUSCH GARDENS REVIEWS

Absolutely incredible and beautiful park!! I really really enjoyed this park a lot. The theming is great and there's so much natural shade from all the trees in the area. The food here is incredible and really decently priced for what you get as well. All the employees we encountered on our trip were very helpful and polite. The park is probably one of the cleanest and well maintained we've seen.

I absolutely loved this park — it’s genuinely beautiful, with so many stunning flowers everywhere. I also really enjoyed the concept of getting the chance to try food from different countries. It was a wonderful experience overall! Also I recommend going in the week, is less crowded. The max I waited in a line was 30mins.

We love this place so much. Even if you don't ride rides it's an experience. We recently went and just enjoyed the food and wine festival. 10/10! Had so much fun just enjoying the scenery and all the great food and drinks.

GO-KARTS PLUS REVIEWS

Had a blast here. Went on a Tuesday, so it's buy 2 races get one free on that day. There's an annual member fee that is added the first time you visit, and races start at around $50-60. The track is nice. It's not too difficult, but it's enough to make it challenging. The staff is very helpful. And you get a printout of your race times. You can pay extra to record yourself while driving. They also do team building exercises and have a winners circle with medals for kids.

Very clean, well-maintained entertainment center. The arcade and snack bar have ice cold AC and a variety of concession stand treats. My kids loved the water bumpers (bring a change of clothes if riders don’t like walking around wet!) and go carts. I thought it was reasonably priced and experienced great customer service from ride attendants.

The racetrack was pretty fun! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the arcade and the mini golf. 10/10 would recommend. Fun for all family members. Can't wait for the new go-kart track.

COBBLESTONES WATER PARK REVIEWS

What a great place to cool off on a hot day, I can't believe it took me this long to check this place out. My kids and I visited for the first time and had a great day. Love that you can bring your own lunch and floats. The park was clean and well maintained. Plenty of lifeguards and they were all on point. We went during the week and had no problem getting a table in the shade and we had plenty of room in the pool to stretch out. The slides were a lot of fun. Seems like the park has struck a really nice balance of being safe and fun. We will definitely be back.

Season passes here every year as it's the cleanest best way to have water fun with your family around the area. Plenty to do here with picnic tables, shaded areas and great concession food. You may also bring a cooler of you'd like.

Definitely a good spot to cool off from the sun. I had rented a section for my birthday. The water is crystal clear and refreshing. The slides are fun wish there were more. Great spot for the kids.
