... which is interesting, because despite several trips to Florida in recent years I have not yet been to Busch Gardens, and from your description I don’t think I will, in the event that we return. It all sounds very similar to Whipsnade https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...at_Whipsnade_Railway apart from the roller coasters, which don’t really interest me.
I rather feel that having travelled several thousand miles, things ought to be different!
I strongly recommend the Ocean Highway, to Key West, which follows the route of the former Key West Railway. Stop at Bahia Honda State Park for a spectacular view of the largest remaining bridge span.
Did you see the preserved Baldwin 2-6-2 at Manatee County Museum, near Sarasota?

Sorry, but no. We only explored The Florida Aquarium, Busch Gardens, ZooTampa, the Museum of Science and Industry (Tampa, FL), and Zitnik’s Trains in the Tampa area. This was a simple family vacation, and we just got home now.
