John Arie Jr.
John Arie Jr. is the Owner / Chief Executive Officer and the face of Fun Spot America Theme Parks. Raised in the family business, John has worked in every area of park operations, giving him a hands-on understanding of the company from the ground up.

Known for blending innovation with tradition, John leads with a clear vision: to keep Fun Spot competitive in a rapidly evolving amusement industry while preserving its faith-based, family-first foundation. His leadership philosophy is rooted in the Golden Rule — treating others the way he would want to be treated — a principle that influences company culture, team development, and guest experience.

Under his leadership, Fun Spot America has continued to grow strategically while strengthening its reputation as a values-driven organization. Fun Spot’s commitment to community impact was recognized when it received the Harris Rosen Philanthropic Award from the International Drive Resort Area Chamber of Commerce. John has been honored by the Orlando Business Journal as a “Top 40 Under 40” recipient and named one of the “Top 10 Men to Watch.”

Above all, John considers his greatest achievement to be his family — his wife Tracy and their children, TJ and Alexis.
