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

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

Myself and friends have went to Holiday World at least once a year for the past 5 years. We are all between 18-21 years old and always have a good time. The waterpark is the main reasom for going. 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

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

This park has something for everyone is by far one of my favorite parks in the nation. While it's easy to see why this is a fantastic "family park" I need to highlight that on every trip I've made here, I've never had kids. The huge free with admission water park offers some of the BIGGEST thrills found in the... More

We have been to all kinds of amusement parks and Holiday World is by far the best. Free drinks and sunscreen, free parking, 2 parks in 1. It is always super clean and the employees are always very friendly and helpful. The food is very reasonable and good.

Very good park and great ratio of value to cost. Good rides. Fantastic water park included with admission. One of the only known establishments that is not out to price gouge you. Free drinks (soda, lemonade, Gatorade) all day. There are many drink stations so short lines. Food prices, locker, rentals also extremely reasonable. Less than they charge at a... More
