With its astounding collection of 150 mummies
and objects, Mummies of the World is the largest

groundbreaking exhibition offers guests a rare
chance to experience both naturally and
intentionally preserved mummies from around the
globe – some dating as far back as 6,500 years –
from South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and
Egypt, changing centuries-old perceptions about
what the general public thinks about mummies.

Busch Gardens' Biggest Ice Show
Ever, ICEPLORATION
The 30-minute show combines some of
the most amazing aspects of the
park’s rich entertainment history,
including world-class skaters,
larger-than-life puppets, amazing
costumes, original music and even
animal stars. Iceploration tells the
story of Austin, who believes
technology keeps his pre-teen
generation connected more than ever,
and his grandfather – and old-world
explorer – who encourages him to put
down the Smartphone and “explore the
world,” including the African
Serengeti, Great Barrier Reef, the
Arctic and the Amazon rainforest.
