For our Friday “down day” we drove over to Busch Gardens for the day. After breakfast, at the Three Coin Diner we headed over to pay the low, low price of $130 per person to partake in the day’s festivities. Not being coaster bound and eventually having lunch and drinks, them animals were expensive! I had already been here back on the 2016 trip but Devyn has never been and he is a big animal and zoo fan so we sucked it up and did enjoy the day. We were able to catch the rare Roadie eating in the wild so.
