Celebrating Zookeeper Week At Busch Gardens! | Behind The Scenes, Gorilla Tour & Feeding Animals!
In today’s vlog we head to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay to celebrate National Zookeepers Week! We were invited to participate in a few tours at the park, which we were so excited to do! We started the day by helping the zookeepers in the prep kitchen, by prepping veggies for the animals. Seeing how they grow the food, prepare the food and store the food was so interesting and I was so happy to help in the kitchen. Then we experienced the Gorilla Insider Tour where we learned so many interesting facts and information about the gorillas, how they’re cared for and how they perform enrichment activities and how we can help the gorillas and their natural habitats. This was an amazing tour and we highly recommend checking this tour out on your next trip to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. We end our tours with the Animal Ambassador Tour, this is the tour with the youngest age limit, ages 3 and up can enjoy this tour. We met a ball python, a 3 banded armadillo and even got to feed some flamingos! We also learned so much about these animals. I think feeding the flamingos was my favorite part of this tour. Then we ended the day with a delicious bbq pulled pork burger for lunch and a front row ride on Iron Gwazi. It was an awesome day and I learned so much! We hope enjoyed spending National Zookeeper Week with me at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay! Thank you for watching and we’ll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

Gorillas are beyond amazing.
Love it when you get away from Disney, this was great!!
With Jackson’s love for helping cook, I feel he would love something like this. Maybe help put a little bag together and see the food he helped create go to an animal would be so sweet
Thanks so much for visiting, Tim! That thumbnail photo is incredible 👏🏽
I love doing zoo tours, highlights how much work and care zoo staff with animals. That gorilla interaction was incredible, so lucky Tim, and rounded out with some classic Tim on a ‘rolly coasty’, priceless!
Thank you so much for posting videos like this!! As a zookeeper, it's so nice to see people showing a glimpse at the passion that goes into the job ❤️
I absolutely loved this look into Zookeeping! It's a job I always wished I had, and being able to see parts of it I never got to see before, despite living right here in Tampa, was really neat!
The animal interactions warmed my heart and watching Tim on the coaster gave me a much needed laugh for the day
LOL THAT KID'S FACE ON THE COASTER!
What an amazing teacher that lady is. She explains things really well, and obviously cares deeply for the gorillas. A great video

Amber is one of the best educators I’ve known at Busch Gardens!!
Thanks for coming out to our BGT location! I know the parks are always excited to have you!
Love this video Tim you should do more like this - a proper insight into busch Gardens behind the scenes with the animals - didn't know about they grew there own produce behind closed doors - great vlog! 👍
Ingenious color-coded bins for the food for the animals. Makes it so much easier for the wonderful staff!
What a beautiful gorilla. It was always amaze me how intelligent they are.. as well as so many other animals and insects.
I rewatched you riding the rollercoaster multiple times due to the little girl behind you losing her soul the entire time.
Man I love gorillas
I love learning about the parks and in my Opinion this is the most reliable resource
Wow that was nice seeing the bush gradens animal getting there food perp interesting that gorilla 🦍 was fun to watch he was sweet that ride look so insane how fun thanks tim
Great fun and extremely educational video. Thanks Tim. Watching the interaction with the gorilla was fascinating and beautiful. Your reaction on the rollercoaster was priceless.
HAPPY ZOOKEEPER WEEK!
Flamingos are so ridiculous looking 😁 I love them. 🦩🦩
Martin the Flamingo might have been my favorite part 🤣 This was awesome! I loved seeing how the gorillas knew the hand signals to let the keepers check them and do an exam.
Those Gorilla commands are fascinating 👍
Gorillas are so smart! So awesome!
Love Busch Gardens, what a fun and informative day ❤️
That Gorilla is so awesome. So cool
Keep doing these videos along with your theme park stuff. Conservation of species is so important. Thank you for bringing us along Tim!
What a fab Vlog! Loved the interaction with The gorrila!
Tim on the ride screaming like it’s horrible 😱. Tim after the ride “that was fun” 😃. 🤣 great vlog and how amazing was the gorilla 🦍. 👍
What I do for a living! So exciting to see you experience wildlife nutrition behind the scenes.
happy national zookeeper week ... so cool to see the interaction w balingo
Great video!! Really appreciate all the work they are doing!! Thanks for sharing!!
How fun…that was amazing to watch
Those tours were so interesting.
What a cool experience--thanks for sharing with us!
Awesome video! The gorilla interaction was so neat!
Awesome cool video Tim & Jen love y’all stay safe out there 👏🏼👍🏼🙌🙏🏼🌹❤️😍😎🥰🥳
Absolutely love this!
So interesting - thanks for sharing❣️ Good info about the need to Recycle Cell Phones, too! ☺️
This was the best video in a while IMHO. Sometimes showing the new cookie/cupcake/whatever sugar bomb at disney just gets old. More content like this please!
Great video .loved this .The gorilla was so funny 😆
It’s amazing! I had know idea 💡 that the zoo keepers have such in-depth jobs as being farmer, chef, vet, etc. It just goes to show you that until you walk a day in someone else’s shoes (or watch a vlog of Tim doing it) you have no idea what someone else is living through. Whole new respect for the zoo keepers!!!!
Great video today, Tim. I learned some new animal facts.
3:58 ahhh! you’re cutting carrots and sweet potato with Chris!!!!!! So cool!
The kids face at 26:09 is great.
Great video!!! This was so very interesting!!! Thank you Tim!!
Wow, BG is my home park for more then 20 years, never knew anything like this. Have done the animal encounters but this was a super awesome experience that many people do not get to do.
This was a great video I really enjoyed it especially the part with the gorilla, thanks Tim!
20:39 Tampa Jay would be in heaven!! FLAAAMMIIINNNGOOOOSSS
What a fun video! I love learning about all kinds of animals and what we can do to help preserve their environments in the wild. Thank you Busch Gardens for inviting Tim out and thank you Tim & Jenn for sharing with all of us!
I loved this video with the gorilla Belingo...interactions...amazing..to see...n food prep n kitchen area...2000 animals alot to feed...Congrats to Zookeepers...thx for sharing Tim...
Tim thank you for sharing this video I truly enjoyed it.
More like this please. MOAR!!!
This was amazing. So much fun and learning at one time. I’ve never been to Busch Gardens. Definitely want to go now.
This is a brilliant video, loved seeing the gorilla doing amazing things. And that poor kid behind you on the ride 😂
You guys are hitting it out of the park with these videos this one about the zookeepers Tim outstanding thank you
Looks like a lot of fun
This is so cool!
What a great video, I learned so much
So interesting! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great experience! This is very helpful
Love this video!
Love this!
I'm so glad there are zookeeper to take care of the animals
I love Busch Gardens! I couldn't help but notice that little kids face on the ride who was sitting behind you. They looked horrified 🤣🤣! That would be me!!
Wow, what a great video!
Ding dang I was hoping for some Cheetah action! But this was so wonderful to see. Thank you for an amazing vlog Tim and Jenn!
This was so interesting. Xx
I laughed so much of the kid behind Tim on the roller coaster. Baby I felt that with you.
I applied for this position at the nutrition center. Needless to say, I didn't get the job even with a bunch of experience and working for Busch gardens two different times. The people in the nutrition center work 6-2 everyday. They have the recipes that are made by a specific nutritionist for each animal that is in the zoo. However, it is the zoo keepers that actually feed the animals and help with their enrichment. Honestly, I don't recommend working for Busch gardens, but it is amazing how they operate the zoo part of the park. They treat those animals better than most of their employees!
Well THAT was an awesome experience!!!! I love the thumbnail of the video too! Tim's facial expression riding Iron Gwazi says it all! Can't wait for the holiday season to be here and this scorching heat to be gone!!!
I live in Virginia, about a 50 minute drive away from Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I love seeing the difference between the 2 parks
This is so cool!!! I love animals!
This was one of my favorite videos!!!! This was just so cool 🤗🤗
So good!!!!!
How is no one commenting on the hilarious moment where balingo showed his butt? Best part of this video!
What a great video….you could tell how much the zookeepers care about the animals. The interactions with the gorilla were amazing!! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I really REALLY LOVED this WHOLE video!!! THE ENTIRE VIDEO!!! Great job Tim and Jenn!!!
Great video!!! I am so happy that you recognized national zookeeper week, they so deserve it! I have many friends that are zookeepers here at the Sedgwick County Zoo, and alot of the general public have no clue that these keepers go to college and ha e a a bachelor degree. They have so much compassion for their animals and are great role models for our kids. They are believers in conservation and this beautiful earth.
Love this
I don’t usually comment on videos but I loved this one, fantastic
This was amazing!
Another great video!! We’ve been watching the Disney vloggers for a while and recently started vlogging ourselves mostly food related right now but we can’t wait to see where it takes us! Thanks for the video!
Thanks Jenn for mentioning this vlog. I love seeing animals. Sadly I never been to Busch gardens. 🌸👍🏼
Really enjoyed this episode! You need to do Busch gardens more often. Love seeing the care of all the animals. Thank you zoo keepers! ❤️
Tim & Jenn, always love the park videos, but these videos showing alternate location are a nice treat.
This was a very interesting video Tim!

This was so cool! Your interactions with Bolingo were amazing. What a remarkable experience!
