Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island in Tampa will both remain closed on Friday, following the impact of Hurricane Milton on Florida’s Gulf Coast. The parks released a statement indicating that their team is currently assessing the situation to ensure the safety and readiness of the parks for visitors.
Despite the closures at Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, Aquatica Orlando, Discovery Cove, and SeaWorld Orlando are scheduled to reopen on Friday. However, it was noted that the Spooktacular and Howl-O-Scream events at SeaWorld Orlando have been canceled for the day.
