How It Works

WOW University delivers training classes before the adventure park opens. During these sessions, we look at different studies that can be put into practice that day. We provide challenges—and the support to meet them.

Mentoring at WOW University

WOW U started with two C-suite professionals looking to build something different and take a company to a new place. Now, we continue growing that vision with the help of the internet and through curated mentors who help our team create a great adventure experience for our guests and a great work experience for all our team members.
