The goal of the BGT History Project is simple: to provide a well-researched, free-access website on the history of Busch Gardens Tampa. It’s a passion project, and I try to work on it and update it as time allows.
There are many costs associated with the project, including website hosting, research expenses, artifact acquisition, and the time and effort required to assemble all the pieces and 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 shared here 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!
