Schlitterbahn Galveston is gearing up for a packed 2026 season and wants a small army of help to pull it off, with roughly 1,000 part-time and seasonal jobs on the table. The 26-acre water park is slated to open for the season on May 2 and is recruiting lifeguards, food and beverage staff, park services, maintenance, and security workers.
How to apply
Would-be hires will not have to trek out to the island just to get in the door. Applicants can complete the hiring process online without an in-person interview, according to Houston Chronicle. The announcement directs candidates to use the park’s online application system to submit materials and monitor next steps.
Roles, age and perks
Open positions include lifeguards, park services, admissions, food and beverage, maintenance, and security, and hires are offered competitive wages, flexible schedules, and paid training as detailed on Six Flags. Many roles accept applicants age 15 and up, and departments that employ minors may require work permits under state rules.
Ownership and season passes
Schlitterbahn Galveston now operates under Six Flags Entertainment Corporation following the companies' merger in July 2024, per Business Wire. The park's 2026 Gold Pass is listed at $89, according to Houston Chronicle.
