Footage from 1968 sparks interest in visiting park
A few years ago, my wife and I decided to convert her parents' old family vacation movies
to DVD. As we watched, we started seeing footage of my wife when she was only a few
years old on a family vacation at Santa Claus Land. This footage was from1968.
After watching that video, we became interested bringing our family to this park. So, this past
weekend, we decided to take our little girls to Holiday World.
I am writing this email because our entire family was so impressed with your park. We have
visited other parks (Six Flags, etc.), but Holiday World is definitely a few steps above.
The main thing that your park offers that the others don't is that it has a family-feel to it- it doesn't seem like just another corporate business. You make customers feel that your primary goal is to help families enjoy themselves. Additionally, you add those special little touches (like the blue awnings which provide a bit of shade) which make the experience even more comfortable.
Thank you for keeping families in the forefront of your business, and as parents we are happy to
pass the Holiday World tradition to our children.
Like my 8 year old said as we were leaving the park, "Holiday World is the best!"

My trip to Holiday World
Hello!
I just wanted to say how much my family and I enjoyed Santa Claus/Holiday World during the weekend of 8/20-8/22 2010! I won this trip through the local T.V. station here in St. Louis, MO (Fox2) and I'm still on cloud 9! First off, I had never heard of Santa Claus, IN or Holiday World. We have Six Flags here in St. Louis; I thought it was the "best place ever" until I came to Holiday World! I will never go to Six Flags again! The park at HW is so beautiful, the food is inexpensive, the employees were very nice, you have smoking areas that are covered (not here; there are just benches and ashtrays) and I just don't know what else to say. We also stayed at Lake Rudolph campgrounds and that was awesome! Everyone that drove by waved at us; we made friends with the guy in the RV next to us. Everything was so convenient! I saw HW on "most extreme rides", and they showed Mrs. Koch and her son that own the park. I really wanted to meet them and tell them how much I enjoyed myself. I took my 9yr old daughter, my two neices and they each took their two children . I really have a "whole lot" to talk/brag about, but, I just don't have the space to continue writing! (lol) Thanks for everything! We're thinking about taking this trip next year with the "entire" family. We came home bragging so much, that, everybody said that they were ready to pack up and go! (lol) Whatever it is that you're doing? Keep on doing because. . . . . . . . . . . . .It's working! (lol)
