The park features one of the largest ride collections in the South, more than 500 wild animals, Splash Island Water Park, the region’s largest water park, shows, festivals and all-star concerts. The park is owned and operated by Herschend Family Entertainment (HFE), a company specializing in family entertainment.

Governed by an outside board of directors, HFE has been family-owned and operated since our inception. And, it's always been our goal to have each and every guest leave with two things: a smile and a deeper connection with each other.
