Splish Splash Admissions Lead

Our story began 75 years ago when the Herschend family discovered wonder deep in an Ozark Mountain cave—and chose to share it with the world. Today, Herschend is the largest family‑held themed attractions company, with 49 leading attractions and immersive experiences that reach audiences worldwide. While each brand offers something unique, all are united by a shared purpose:
Bringing Families Closer Together by Creating Memories Worth Repeating®.

Our passionate hosts make this purpose possible through everyday acts of love and service—what we call Heartspitality®—the intersection of heart and hospitality. We are an equal‑opportunity employer and strive to provide environments where every host, guest, and partner feels welcome, valued, and loved. All individuals are to be treated equally and with respect.
