Are there good shuttles around the area like between the historic area and the amusement park? Or did you need to Uber or rent a car?
We ubered which is very cheap. There is also a robust bus system since it’s a college town. And unlike many places there are actually sidewalks so you can find a hotel walkable to a lot of things. Unfortunately there are no hotels walkable to Busch Gardens but I think at least one hotel closer to the park offers a shuttle.
Thank you!

Ever sat on 1-95 and gone nowhere for 2-3 hours because of a major accident? I have. More than once.
