Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is presenting a new show for the 2012 season. The show, which will be performed at the Moroccan Theater, is named Iceploration. It is scheduled to begin on February 2, 2012 and will feature ice skating, puppetry and live animals. The show is included with the purchase of Busch Gardens tickets.

The 30-minute show is the largest, most ambitious production Busch Gardens has ever done. The theme of the story told within the show revolved around Austin, a digitally connected preteen, his old-world explorer grandfather and their adventure around the globe as Austin learns life lessons about really being connected to the world around him.

During Iceploration, Austin and his Grandfather travel to the African Serengeti, the Great Barrier Reef, the Arctic and the Amazon Rainforest. Throughout their travel adventures, the show comes to life as larger-than-life puppets, top-notch skaters, acrobats, dazzling costumes and sets, and even real animals take the stage.

The Moroccan Palace hosts Christmas on Ice this holiday season, with several shows daily from November 21, 2011 through January 1, 2012.
