Working at attractions across Denver means spending your days sharing the knowledge and enthusiasm you have for the places that make this city so special. With on-site and hands-on training, you’ll learn everything there is to know about the museum, historic hotspot, or culturally significant place you work. Every day you’ll have the chance to interact with children and adults as well as visitors and locals alike, helping everyone create memories.
Many travel far to visit Denver’s attractions and your presence and guest interactions will be a key part in their experiences. The industry offers higher-than-average pay — even at entry level — for crafting those moments.
The attractions industry is a wide term covering so many places and roles within the city. Getting your foot in the door here can open up paths to almost any kind of job in any kind of location.
For a lot of people, simply visiting a location isn’t enough. They want to learn, experience, and interact with things. Your role will put you in a unique position to help everyone you meet meaningfully connect with the place you work.
Unlike a lot of jobs in the wider hospitality and tourism industries, attractions often do not require longer-than-average days or work during off hours. This is a space where you an count on a schedule and routine.
“I love the community that’s here. I work with so many passionate and knowledgeable people, and it’s really, really fun.”
Although she didn’t grow up feeling like a scientist, with the right mentorship Jenna found her place at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science as a program coordinator. Hear her journey, see what makes working in attractions so special, and learn about the incredible days that await when working in Attractions.
What’s not to love about promoting a beloved cultural institution whose mission enriches the lives of the community, tourists and anyone who visits this vibrant city!
