Born in the mountains out of love for freeride skiing, our passion for adventure runs deep. We believe that freeride is a mindset, an attitude, a drive to challenge convention, to forge your own path, to explore and discover, and choosing your own line. Based on this, our purpose is simple. As for our products, they all enable the freedom to be adventurous. Whether horizontally or vertically, on skis, by bike, or on foot, they offer the optimal balance of style and performance. Our Scandinavian heritage is ever-present, and our commitment to doing better things in a better way is our never-ending responsibility. For memories, stories, products, and adventures that will withstand the test of time.

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.

A complement to HFE’s family-friendly portfolio of businesses, this acquisition marks an expansion for the company into new media, audiences and markets. Herschend Family Entertainment is dedicated to creating and sustaining welcoming destinations filled with adventure and memory-making fun. 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.
