Overview

The Moroccan Palace is a prominent indoor theatrical venue located within the Busch Gardens Tampa Bay theme park. It serves as the primary stage for large-scale, Broadway-style production shows and seasonal entertainment offerings. The facility features climate-controlled indoor seating, providing a respite from Florida's outdoor humidity. The venue is designed with intricate, Moroccan-inspired architectural motifs, including elaborate arches and decorative tile work. Programming regularly includes ice-skating shows and acrobatic performances that rotate throughout the year. It operates as part of the broader park infrastructure, meaning entry requires general theme park admission.
