Denver’s Elitch Gardens looking to hire 1,500 for summer

Feb 27, 2025, 4:53 PM | Updated: Feb 28, 2025, 12:14 pm

There was a time not that long ago that I thought $18 an hour was a decent living wage. Obviously times have changes a bit, but it’s still not bad and Denver’s Elitch Gardens is looking for seasonal workers and start above that $18 mark.

Denver’s largest theme and water park has announced they will be hiring for 1,500 positions this summer and in addition to the decent pay, there are some solid perks that come with working there also.

Starting pay at Elitch’s is $18.81 per hour and they pay you the day after you work. Employees can also participate in team member parties, employee discounts, holiday picnics, exclusive ride nights, free admission tickets, and more.

Open jobs include everything from security to front desk help, lifeguards, maintenance and many other positions.

For more information and to apply at Elitch Gardens, visit the jobs page at elitchgardens.com/jobs.
