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!

“Been in my family for years”

Reviewed May 16, 2012 NEW

I am 68 years old and my parents started taking me to Holiday World when it was Santa Claus Land, I have been there several times with my family over the years. 2 or 3 generations have been coming. It simply gets better every year. Every age enjoys the park. The only problem with the park is that no one... More

“So much fun!”

We spend most of the day at Splashin Safari and finish the day riding a few rides on the way out. We stayed in a cabin once and that was fun - the kids loved the loft and 6 kids (2 families) enjoyed this. We also enjoyed 2 days at HW and it was FUN!! I expected the Wildabeast to... More

“Something for Everyone in the Family”

Reviewed May 13, 2012 NEW

We love Holiday World! It like two parks in one! The waterpark has so many attractions that even during the busiest times the waits are not extreme. The regular park has plenty of rides for every age group. We especially love the wooden roller coasters!! More

“Raindrops Kept Falling on Our Heads”

Reviewed May 13, 2012 NEW

person found this review helpful

Holiday World & Splashin' Safari is a wonderful family place to visit, but even they cannot control the fact that rain and cool temperatures, which were not in the weather forecast, arrived early afternoon. We got to the gate when it opened on May 12 with our Grayline busload of 56 students and chaperones, and the skies were blue and... More

Thanks for sharing so much information! Sorry about the drippy rain - sometimes Mother Nature just gets a bit grumpy. Regarding swimsuits on water rides - they aren't necessary if a person is more comfortable in a "t" and shorts. By the way, our Voyage roller coaster is the second-tallest wooden coaster in the nation. Hope your knee heels up... More

I will just add to the group of wonderful reviews. We have a three year old and this place was amazing!! We went on a Friday morning and we were worried since a lot of school buses were there. There was not any problem. There were short lines so our little one had no problems with waiting. The free drinks... More

It's not as elaborate as Disney or Universal, but is so clean and has free drinks and sunscreen stations all over the park, and it cools you off when you go thru the drink stations. Water park is awesome!!! More

“The greatest family fun all in one place you could ask for.”

Reviewed April 11, 2012

people found this review helpful

A family owned park that is clean alive and fun. Free parking, free soda, free suntan lotion and you even see the owners working around the park. A place you can take the kids and let them play and not worry. You can ride the best coasters in the world then take a plunge in the water park and finish... More
