Starting pay is $16 an hour, and employees get some pretty solid perks, too. Team members receive free park admission, discounts, paid training, and access to special employee events throughout the season.

According to park president Andrew Burggraf, employees are a big part of what makes the guest experience memorable. He says the job fair gives people the chance to see what positions are available and figure out which role best fits their interests.

Applicants must be at least 16 years old. Anyone planning to attend the job fair should bring two forms of identification along with bank account information for direct deposit setup.
