Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has a new Oasis Guest Lounge to cool off and relax during a day at the Florida theme park.

Have you ever just wanted a quiet place to cool off during a day at a theme park? Right now you’re saying, “Uh yeah, Leigh, like every. single. time.” So here’s the scoop on a new place at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay to get out of the sun and chill.

The Tampa theme park has built the Oasis Guest Lounge. It’s like an exclusive VIP room, but all of us non-VIPs out there can get in, for a price.

For the cost of $25 per person or $80 for a family of four, you can buy unlimited access to the Oasis Guest Lounge for the day.

The new Busch Gardens Tampa Bay lounge has comfy seats, air conditioning and a children’s play area that includes video game consoles. Soft drinks and some snacks are included with your ticket, and there are discounts on alcohol and lunch and dinner items. Some of the animals who live at Busch Gardens are brought into the lounge during the day for unique animal interactions.

Also? The lounge has Wi-fi, which probably has you asking, “Who brings their laptop to a theme park?” Theme park bloggers, that’s who! (And it also makes your iPhone, iTouch or Kindle usable if you aren’t lugging your lappy to the park.)

Now I know the Oasis Guest Lounge isn’t for everyone. There are some of you who want to see everything at Busch Gardens and are raring to go from the time the gates open until the last tram has left the parking lot.

But in the right situation, this seems like a wise purchase. For example, if you have young kids, the Oasis Guest Lounge might be the perfect place to rest your feet while they take a short nap.

You can get all the details and buy tickets for the Oasis Guest Lounge at the Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Web site.
