Wild Days at SeaWorld Orlando has shaped up to become a great way not only to get in touch with nature, and see the amazing animals from around the planet, but it’s also become the place where SeaWorld showcases their conservation and rescue efforts. They’ve had Jungle Jack Hannah appear, as well as the cast of “Sea Rescue”. This year, the park is bringing in a little kid power to help get the message across.
Bindi Irwin, daughter of “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, and the focal point of SeaWorld’s Generation Nature series will be on hand to get the festivities rolling.
Bindi became the voice of SeaWorld’s “Kidservation” effort-SeaWorld Kids in 2014. She has been featured in several online webisodes on the official SeaWorld Kids website. The goal of Bindi’s involvement is to help make kids aware of the animals in the world we live in, as well as to show them what they can do to help protect and save them, by taking simple small steps.
For Wild Days Bindi will be on hand for Generation Nature:Live, an all new show where she will help kids become “Game Changers for Nature.” The show will feature interactive games to uncover their “Nature IQ,” animals and more!
We were able to chat with Bindi last year about SeaWorld Kids and Generation Nature:
