The Busch Gardens Page

Back in the fifties, beer-brewer Anheuser-Busch started up a beer
garden (with free beer) and a bird show in front of its new brewery
in Tampa Bay. Millions visited, and in a stroke of weird brilliance
wildlife-lover August A. Busch Jr. added a 70-acre Serengeti Plains,
which featured free-roaming elephants, giraffes, etc. In the 70's,
a Sky Ride and more African areas were added, and in the 80's the
park found its true identity: the Python and Scorpion coasters were
built. Ever since, coasters and animal habitats have grown
symbiotically. The brewery, meanwhile, closed in '95 but you can
still get free beer in a hospitality center. |

While at Busch Gardens, I attended the Budweiser Beer School.
Below is my Certified Beer Master certificate
