When Busch Gardens invites you to check out their new Summer Dining Series at their restaurant, Serengeti Overlook, you go. You run. You dream of what you’ll be eating and drinking. I was fortunate enough to get a sneak peek of the menu offerings. Everything was much, much, much better than you’d expect to get from a theme park. At $29/person for this prix fixe menu, it’s certainly a better deal than your typical burger and fries offering. There’s even a kid’s menu!
We were able to try each item on the summer dining series at Busch Gardens menu and not one of them disappointed!
