Located in the charming hamlet of Santa Claus in southern Indiana, this theme park/water park combo offers families a great getaway with all sorts of perks. Did you ever think a theme park would give away soft drinks? And not charge for parking? Use of inner tubes in the water park is free and so is sunscreen and Wi-Fi! No wonder Consumers Digest magazine named Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari the Nation’s Top Value Park. With three of the world's top roller coasters (including the #1 Wooden Coaster on the Planet -- The Voyage!), a huge water park (including the new Mammoth, the world's longest water coaster) all kinds of live entertainment, visits with Santa, yummy food, shopping, and skill games, Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari offer loads of family fun all summer long! « less

My family and I went to Holiday World and Splashin' Safari yesterday and had the best time! We've been to Disney World five times and thought we'd try something new. I am so glad that we did! This place is perfect for everyone! Don't be fooled by the fact that it is in the middle of Indiana farm land or... More

I have always loved Kings Island and Cedar Point but once I started having children it's been all Holiday World for me. Holiday World is much more family oriented. The park is very clean. The free soft drinks and sunscreen are life savers. Also, the food is very reasonable. They do not over charge on the food like Kings Island... More

If you are a family centered person, this is the best amusement park. If you have smaller children this park make taking your child to an amusement park easy. The kiddy section is fun and full of options of things to ride. Many amusement parks lack on the kiddy section. If you’re a thrill seeker you must ride the Voyager!... More

From the time you walk in, the people are friendly and the you get a very relaxing feeling. This year we enjoyed all the great rides we remembered as well as the new rides in both sides of the park. They offer free soft drink stations all through the park as well as free sunscreen. Food is not expensive and... More

Plenty of great water coasters and tube rides, along with 2 decent wave pools and a bunch of other water attractions... More

Our family of seven attend holiday world every year. They have rides for everyone of all ages. The unlimited soft drinks, free parking, and free sunscreen are perks provided that would really add up for our family at other amusement parks. It is well worth the drive and the money is well spent. The family atmosphere is great for kids... More

We have been to Holiday World several times since we are from Indiana. However, we wanted to try out some of the newer rides and decided to go again. The lines were so crazy long that we waited almost 2 hours to do the new log water ride thing. It was definitely not worth it since it was just slightly... More

This park is one of the best we have ever visited! Holiday World has something for everyone, from great roller coasters to kiddie rides and lots of family rides! I have 3 teens/preteens and they love the rides. There are also a few great shows, which we love to visit. They offer free soft drinks and free sunscreen. The soft... More
