Spread over 200 acres, it has nearly 100 rides and attractions, seven world-class roller coasters and Wildwater Kingdom, one of the country's largest waterparks.
Each season the park hires around 3,000 seasonal employees, so you'll work alongside people from many different cultures and practise your English every day. There is inexpensive housing at a nearby college campus, free admission to the park and employer-organised events through the season. New York City, Philadelphia and Atlantic City are about 90 minutes away.

Location
Why Allentown, Pennsylvania?
Allentown is a friendly, affordable city in the beautiful Lehigh Valley — and one of the best-located Work & Travel destinations on the East Coast. You are just:
- About 1.5 hours from Philadelphia — home of the Liberty Bell and the famous "Rocky steps"
- Around 2 hours from New York City — Times Square, Central Park and Broadway on your days off
- A short drive from the Pocono Mountains, with hiking trails, lakes and waterfalls
Weekend bus trips to NYC, DC and the Jersey Shore beaches are easy and popular among international students. And if you stay into the fall, you'll experience Halloween in America at Dorney Park's legendary Halloween Haunt, plus the incredible autumn colors of Pennsylvania.
