Ages 7-51, big smiles on everyone

I visited your park yesterday for the very first time, along with my two daughters and granddaughter.

I must admit until I started seeing your commercials on my local TV stations I had never heard of Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, much less Santa Claus, Indiana.

At first I was wondering why would you advertise something in Indiana way down in Tennessee, but you are just over 3 hours from my house and I live a little southeast of Nashville.

My kids and I went to your website and read all about your park and we decided to make the trip and see how much fun it was.

The directions on your website were absolutely wonderful. We never made a wrong turn and had very little traffic to deal with all the way there and back. That put us in a wonderful mood to start off with.

Then we arrived at the park and we saw Mrs. Koch out there greeting everyone and we all recognized her from the commercials, so it showed us that she has a great love for this park. Most owners would never be seen anywhere near the business.

We bought our tickets online which was really a great idea and made it easy to just go right in once we got there. The park was immaculate. I never saw any trash anywhere inside. The bathrooms were so clean and I felt like I was at home and not afraid of catching anything if I used the facilities.

It is very family-friendly throughout the park.

The guests were all well-behaved and even though it was a very busy day I didn't mind the crowds at all.

The employees were all so polite and knowledgeable regarding the park features, etc. They all had a smile on their faces and always told me to enjoy the rest of my stay at the park. That tells me a lot about your business and how you treat your employees and that makes me want to give you my business.

The free drinks and sunscreen were a big blessing. None of us got sunburned at all and we were there all day and into the night. As a single mom and grandmother I have a limited income to spend, but having those little perks made it more reasonable for me to bring my 2 girls and granddaughter without feeling like I could not afford it.

The food was very good and the prices were great, too.

The variety of slides and well as theme park rides was great. There was plenty for all of us to do. I definitely feel like a 2 day adventure is called for as we would have loved to have had more time to do our favorites again.

Our ages ranged from 7 years to 51 years old and we all left there with a big smile on our faces as well as making plans to return next year for a 2-day stay. We have even said we may consider season passes for next year if we think we can get away enough to make it worth the cost.

We returned home and have already been telling people what a great place you have there and that they need to go asap.

Keep up the great work and we look forward to visiting you again soon.
