The posting

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.

Step into the role of animated characters, donning various body/fur-suit costumes. Your primary duty will be to greet, meet, and entertain our park guests with vibrant energy and contagious enthusiasm.

  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
