While the adults party at Gasparilla Pirate Fest this weekend, the little kids can celebrate at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay during the pirate-themed Sesame Street Safari of Fun Kids Weekends!

This is the perfect time to snag the FREE Busch Gardens Preschool Card, which gives your children ages five and younger free admission all year long.
