Now, I live pretty close to Busch Gardens, so I might be biased, but I'd say it's definitely worth going. Even with two major attractions now gone (Rhino Rally and Gwazi), you can still be there the whole day and not run out of things to do. For starters, they have the most roller coasters (and, in terms of thrill level, they're also the best) of any park in Florida. Then they also have just about every other type of ride that a typical theme park would have. Then there are the numerous live shows, including the Iceploration show, which is one of the best live-action shows I've seen at a theme park. And then if you don't like that they have a plethora of animal exhibits/encounters/walking paths. Also, the food offerings are all pretty great. In other words, it's essentially Animal Kingdom, but more extreme in every aspect except for the theming (outside of the shows) and the prices.
