The goal of the BGT History Project is simple: to provide a well-researched, free-access website with the most complete history of Busch Gardens Tampa available anywhere. It’s a passion project, and I try to work on it and update it as often as I can.
There are a number of costs involved in the project like website hosting, research expenses, artifact acquisition, and just the time and effort that goes into it putting all the pieces together to create the pages you see on this site. While I will continue to work on BGT History regardless of any outside support, the truth is that with the help of others, the website can grow more quickly, meaning more information and images can be shared and the history becomes more complete.
A big thank you for visiting the site and supporting this project by sharing it with your family, friends, and followers. Your support is appreciated!
