Breath of fresh air

As my family and I are accustomed to traveling to amusement parks a little closer to home, we bit the bullet and made the 2 1/2 hour drive...with gas at $3.00 a gallon AND on a holiday weekend (Labor Day) to Holiday World. Since it had been almost a decade since our last visit, we weren't sure what to expect.

It was, however, one of the most pleasant surprises!

I was completely blown away by your park!

"Clean" doesn't do it justice.

"Friendly staff" doesn't even scratch the surface.

"Family-oriented" is an understatement.

Holiday World is, without a doubt the most wonderful experience of ANY amusement park--hands down! Not to even mention the free soft drinks and sunscreen--unbelievable!

Anyone can see that Holiday World's management is not just interested in making money, as is so common today, but rather making their patrons' trip a memorable and enjoyable experience. They truly succeeded!

I would also like to comment their staff for going above and beyond just doing their job--checking safety restraints and letting riders know the rules. They all acted happy to be there, which was a breath of fresh air compared to other theme parks. Having storage for bags, purses, and sandals is a great idea--not just "You brought it, you have to deal with it." And when the employees asked if they could hold my things while I was on a ride...WOW!

As for the prices, reasonable just isn't the word, especially at all your dining spots. A family couldn't eat for cheaper at McDonald's!

And Holiday World isn't just clean. It's impeccable. I didn't feel like I'd catch a disease walking around barefoot at Splashin' Safari, which is really saying something...

Having such a nice establishment and staff makes everyone have a much nicer time and even makes all the patron's more relaxed and friendlier. It's a win-win situation.

I just want to thank everyone at Holiday World for making my and my family's experience there so wonderful! You are all to be commended for a job well done, and we will recommend you to all of our friends! We look so forward to our next visit to Holiday World!

Thanks again!
