We Transform Experiences
From your idea to opening day, we take a different approach to building and delivering cultural and entertainment destinations.
A Culture of Fun
Ask any of our 400+ employees what they value the most, and they all will say it’s that we work hard, and play harder in everything we do. Relationships are everything to us – whether those relationships are with our clients, our industry partners, our employees and their families – we wouldn’t be where we are if it wasn’t for them. With the right people, right culture, and right type of projects, the Companies of Nassal delivers awe-inspiring attractions, faraway lands, and inspiring destinations. Our love for the business and the industry, encourages excellence and fosters a culture of people who love to create THE next cool “thing.”
Relationships Meant to Last
We do it all – large and small, private and public, for-profit and nonprofit, around the globe, or in your backyard. We build lasting relationships with you by relentlessly doing what’s right. Over the last 35 years and with more than 3,500 clients, we have helped create award-winning destinations around the world. We thrive on the hard, but cool stuff, while having fun along the way.
