WILLIAMSBURG It’s the most wonderful time of the year despite 2020 being shrouded in a pandemic.
Somehow, Busch Gardens Williamsburg seems to be keeping the holiday spark alive, and it’s all thanks to their Christmas Celebration.
WYDaily checked out the park Friday.
After Gov. Ralph Northam amended restrictions and guidelines for COVID-19 safety last week, WYDaily asked Kevin Lembke, president of Busch Gardens Williamsburg, about the park’s current safety regulations.
There are also six full-time openings, dozens of part-time positions, as well as many more seasonal jobs.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg recently made a big change from being open only seasonally to year round. Now they are looking for additional help to keep the park both fun and beautiful.
There are also several incentives in place for park employees.
Wages for employees hired through May 2021 will start as high as $12 and will also be eligible to receive a hiring bonus starting at $100, according to the announcement.
Those hired to work at either park will enjoy many perks including, “free admission to both parks, free and discount tickets for friends and family to the sister parks including SeaWorld and Discovery Cove, exclusive events, free uniforms, potential for growth and upward mobility, and other benefits,” the news release read.
