The Great American Entertainment Company LLC, was founded in 1983 by David and Dianne Linderman. They are dedicated to providing the highest quality animal attractions in the country. Their quest is pure and simple... keeping agriculture alive with real life experiences.
The Great American Entertainment Company LLC, has been providing this important, educational, and entertaining experience for over 30 years, and they do it better than anyone. Our company not only is a hub of excitement working with fairs, movies, and events around America, but it now has 14 different attractions to choose from.
David and Linderman, founders of the Great American Entertainment Company LLC., came up with the idea of bringing the zoo to you because of the need to share these important experiences from the young to the young-at-heart. Along the way, famous movie animals have been placed with G*E Co. to live their life out in a safe and happy place. The most unexpected opportunity that happened every year was that dozens of troubled teens showing up and needing help. David and Dianne Linderman have become experts in helping troubled teens. They found that bringing troubled teens to work around animals was the best therapy on earth. Many of these kids have grown up in this company and learned the importance of a good work ethic, and are now partners and junior partners of the Great American Entertainment Co. LLC.
David and Dianne Linderman will never lose sight of what’s important—quality, professionalism, dignity, love, and vision, is their management style. Their commitment to quality in everything that matters with their employees, partners, clients, animals and the public are what makes them tick!
Future plans are to have a ranch in Texas where we can have families from everywhere in the country join us for a real life ranch adventure. This concept should be on everyone’s bucket list of things to do in life. We hope that one day this will not only be a dream but a reality!
