SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment has promoted Daniel B. Brown, President of the company’s three Orlando parks –- SeaWorld Orlando, Discovery Cove and Aquatica -- to Chief Operating Officer, SeaWorld Parks.

The Tampa Bay Rays' hottest players - pitchers Matt Garza, James Shields and David Price and infielder Reid Brignac - cooled down at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay's Adventure Island this week.

Today is the first official day of summer -- and that means soaring central Florida temps. But don't let the heat keep you from visiting SeaWorld or Busch Gardens where you can find refreshing fun!

At SeaWorld Orlando, there are many things to do to beat the heat:

At Adventure Island from June 10 to Aug. 14, Busch Gardens' water park transforms into Island Nights, a celebration of island life with live music, authentic entertainment and inspiring cuisine. The event has been extended this year to a three-day weekly celebration, every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night from 5 to 9 p.m.

Ride SheiKra at night, dance to music playing throughout the park and then stay for a rock concert finale, all as part of Summer Nights at Busch Gardens starting June 11.
