Our employee spotlight this week is on Erich Freeman. Erich is a Stage Manager for our Entertainment department and has been with the park for over 15 years. Erich is known for always walking around with a huge smile and a great attitude.

SeaWorld and Busch Gardens want you to know you can have the biggest Christmas present under the tree.

Remember how you felt, as a child, the day before the first day of a new school year?  There was the excitement and nervousness about starting that first new day.  You had all of your “new” things laid out, back pack, supplies, outfit and new shoes. Well the same feeling resonates for the Operations Department as we gear up for SeaWorld San Antonio's park opening on February 26th. We are excited for that first new day of the 2011 season but we have a short window to pull everything together.

SeaWorld wants our loyal fans to be the first to preview our brand new Web sites for San Diego and San Antonio. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below. Our fans’ feedback is important to us as we continue to enhance the SeaWorld online experience.

One of my favorite tours we offer at our park is our “#gotodetail">Clydesdales and Collies” tour. My primary responsibility is caring for the birds, snakes and small mammals, so I don’t get to visit with the horses as much as I might like. As one of the tour guides for our Behind the Scenes tour, this is how I get my Clydesdale fix.

Think you know SeaWorld? Think again.

The Travel Channel gives you a new, all-access look at “Extreme SeaWorld,” and takes you on an eye-popping journey through Orlando’s favorite parks -- Discovery Cove, Aquatica and of course, SeaWorld -- from creating wild rides to saving wildlife.

Get ready for all-new, behind-the-scenes footage of:

It’s definitely getting hotter and l have to thank Willis Haviland Carrier for inventing air conditioning. But it also means that the summer is here and IllumiNights is back. This year it really is a whole new park after dark, as we made efforts park-wide to bring the festive atmosphere of the event to life with new lighted elements and thematic decor.
