I have a friend that kept telling me to go to Holiday World and about how great the park was. So finally after much encouragement two weeks ago my family and I took a visit to your park. My family consist of a 7 year old boy, 11 year old girl, 13 year old girl, 16 year old girl, my girlfriend and myself.

My friend couldn't stop talking about your world class coasters, cleanliness of the park, short lines, cheap prices and how family oriented the park was regardless of age differences in my children.

Of coarse I was skeptical but decided to make the trip. I wasn't skeptical because I had heard bad things about the park or anything like that. It was more because my friend is an employee at Holiday World. So I kind of thought he was talking the park up and had a bias opinion since he worked at the park.

Boy was I wrong, lol. I was greatly impressed with the overall layout of the park. When we went to the water park it was easy to keep up with the kids and the design was great for all age groups. When going to other parks it always seems that each age group has their own area which makes it tough to enjoy the parks as a family. But not at Splashin' Safari. We all had a great time TOGETHER as a family due to the design of the park.

Also I have never saw a park stay so clean. From the bathrooms, walkways and eating areas the park was very clean.

So now I'm thinking it's time to eat. Family of six, ouch! There went the wallet. Wrong again, we all ate for less than going to McDonald's($25)!!!

FREE SUNSCREEN!!! Never saw that before in any other water park and it sure was nice considering I forgot our sunscreen.

FREE DRINKS!!! What I liked about this the most was the fact that you offered Gatorade and water as an alternative to sodas. I don't let my kids drink sodas that often and the Gatorade kept them hydrated.

Last but not least by far, The Voyage!!! Need I really say more? World Class!!!!

Well you guys won me over. No more Kentucky Kingdom.

Thanks for a great time for my whole family!
