Busch Gardens in Tampa is opening back up on Thursday, June 11.
That’s a full month earlier than Disney World and about a week after Universal Studios plans to reopen.
The state, Hillsborough County, and Tampa Mayor Jane Castor all signed off on Busch Gardens' reopening plans in the past week or so.
