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! 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 Wildebeest, the world's longest water coaster) all kinds of live entertainment, visits with Santa, shopping, and skill games, Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari offer loads of family fun all summer long! « less

I've been here several times throughout the years, and it never gets old! It has a very friendly atmosphere and is very affordable. It also has world-class rides. I got a season pass last year and didn't regret it at all! I recommend Holiday World to everyone of any age! More

This place has lots of great things to offer to everyone. Free parking, free drinks, and free sunscreen! The admission is around 40 dollars but is completely worth it. The rides are outstanding and boast 3 of the most spectacular wooden roller coasters in the world. The waterpark is great, but can get pretty crowded on hot afternoons. Food prices... More

Love this park. who else gives you free soda & suntan lotion & parking? The park is so clean, friendly and well groomed park attendants. You can spend all day on the rides or at the water park, or split it up between the two. Great shows & good food & fun shopping. Have your picture taken by the giant... More

I would put this place right up there with Magic Kingdom, minus the character experiences. Great bang for the buck. Free soft drinks and sun screen. Awesome water park! Almost need two days to do it all it's getting so big, but still has the feel of a family park. Go, go, go! More

Spent the day standing in lines elbow to elbow with strangers. We spent more time waiting in line to do something fun than actually doing fun stuff. More
