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

Holiday World is a great day trip for the family. The tickets are a little steep but you can usually find coupons. Of course you get two parks for the price you pay. There are a few good wooden coasters as well as other thrill rides. There are lots of rides for the younger kids in the family. Our favorite... More

This park is clean, friendly, and of course affordable! Free unlimited soft drinks, and sunscreen (if you go to Splashin' Safari). It's a small humble amusement park and its great for all shapes and sizes. Everyone will find a ride that they love and enjoy.

We love this park, especially that water park area. My son is 9 and loves going. The amusement park side is ok but that water park side is our favorite. We will go again for sure.

My family and I went to Holiday World & Splashin' Safari this weekend for a little getaway! Little did we know we would have an amazing and fun time. My daughters are 20 and 18 but they were like little children all over again. My grandson is 1 1/2 years old and had a ball on the little kid rides... More

My kids are 8 and 10. I wish I had known how family friendly this place was when my kids were younger. There are rides and water areas just for little kids and big rides for bigger kids. We went on a Thursday and Friday. Thursday was awesome because of short lines but even the long lines on Friday were... More

This is a great park for all ages. We had both teens and small children with us and everyone found something they loved. Clean, friendly, and reasonably-priced. Our one very small complaint was at the end of the day; Our car was very near where we had entered the parking lot but that gate was locked off and we had... More

Holiday World is simply the best at what they do. They offer terrific family friendly service at prices that cannot be beaten. Their wooden coasters are among the best in the world, and their waterpark would be really tough to beat. Wildebeest beats Mammoth in airtime, however, Mammoth has speed and unique seating that you don't get on Wildebeest. The... More

The park was nice and clean. Free parking, free beverages, & sunscreen. Could use some additional shade, especially in the children's sections.
