Valleyfair a Six Flags Park

Step Right Up! Become a Games Attendant at Valleyfair – A Six Flags Park

Imagine spending your summer surrounded by roller coaster screams, the smell of fresh popcorn, and the sound of your own voice inviting guests to try their luck at winning a giant plush prize. As a Games Attendant at Valleyfair, a Six Flags Park in Shakopee, Minnesota, you won’t just have a job – you’ll be part of the show that creates unforgettable memories for thousands of families every single day.

Valleyfair is Minnesota’s largest amusement park, home to more than 75 rides and attractions, a huge waterpark, and one of the friendliest international teams you’ll ever join. If you’re an outgoing university student who loves being around people, this is the Work & Travel USA experience you’ve been dreaming about.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Welcoming guests to your game booth and explaining the rules with energy and enthusiasm
• Operating classic carnival games – ring toss, balloon darts, basketball hoops, water races and more
• Handing out prizes and celebrating winners (get ready for lots of high-fives!)
• Handling cash and card transactions accurately and keeping track of your booth’s inventory
• Keeping your game area clean, safe, organized, and looking picture-perfect
• Using a microphone to attract guests – yes, you’ll basically become a performer
• Answering guest questions about the park and providing outstanding customer service

Why Shakopee, Minnesota?

Shakopee sits just 25 minutes southwest of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, the vibrant Twin Cities known for lakes, live music, street food, and the legendary Mall of America – the largest shopping mall in the United States. Minnesota summers are made for adventure: swim in one of the state’s 10,000+ lakes, kayak the Minnesota River, bike endless trails, or explore local festivals and farmers’ markets. And because your program runs into the fall, you’ll also catch the beginning of Minnesota’s spectacular autumn colors and the park’s famous ValleyScare Halloween season.
