How to Get to Busch Gardens from Disney World
If you are coming from Disney and you’re trying to get over to Busch Gardens, you’ll be happy to know that it’s a straight shot. You will need to take Interstate 4 to Tampa.
Once you hit the Interstate 75 and Interstate 4 intersection, you’re going to take that going north for about two or three exits down.

You will see a sign that will say, “Busch Gardens.” Once you see that exit sign, you will get off at that location. You will then be about 10-minutes from the park.
Overall, it’s about an hour in a little bit of change from Disney, but it’s not too far.
Arriving at Busch Gardens
Once you get into the park, you’ll notice one of the top roller coasters close to the street called Montu. A fan-favorite roller coaster that has a powerful roaring sound that’s quite intimidating.
