Thank you for the great experience our family had at your park over the August 8 & 9 weekend.  

Congratulations on creating a fun experience for folks, in a safe and wholesome environment, and for providing valuable employment opportunities for young people in your area.  

It was a pleasure not to have to fight traffic around a big city to get to your facility, but instead enjoy the scenic surroundings of southern Indiana.  

You have a very unique and successful business model. Keep up the good work! We'll be back!

Best Regards,

My family of 5 was down there June 25, 2009. We had such a GREAT time.

Just wanted to thank you for a clean park and all the fun. Plus the free drinks were outstanding. I wish more parks were so family-oriented.

I'm the Grandma in a power-chair plus daughter-in-law, son, and two grandsons, 9 and 10. Everyone was very helpful to me and very considerate.

Thanks for an exciting, fun-filled time. We will be back again next summer.

Sincerely,

Beth K.

I took my children to Holiday world this year for the first time. I thought it was fabulous and I plan on going back.  I have also told several friends about our adventure. 

We loved the free soft drinks and free sunscreen.

The guards at the pools were very attentive and worked very hard. 

The people at the food stands were friendly, quick and polite.

I was very happy with the Phone Find Wristband that had a cell number on it for my little one as she does wander off. (Luckily we did not have to use it.)

Many friends with children wandered about your park and I was glad to tell them how clean it was and that it was a good value. I also mentioned that it has family values which are becoming hard to find these days. 

Thanks for having a wonderful place for us to visit.

We visited your park on August 6, 2009, and we cannot tell you how pleased we were. There are not enough words to describe how pleased we were from the time of our arrival until the time of our departure.

Your staff could not have been more courteous and friendly.

The park was amazingly clean and neat. 

Everyone was more than pleasant. 

I must say we hadn't been to Holiday World since our children were small. We went with our son and his family; children 2 and 6 and it was wonderful. In fact, we had such a good time that our oldest daughter, my husband and myself plan on returning; as I stated before we had a great time.

You should be very proud that you have such a wonderful park and staff.

Thank you again,

We were at Holiday World on Thursday, August 7, 2009. We were thoroughly enjoying ourselves and not paying attention to the time.  The parks had already closed and we were doing our last minute snacking. We were at a restaurant (not sure of the name) where they sell ice cream. We noticed that we were the last ones there. A staff person asked us if we were going to need the tram or Lake Rudolph shuttle. He was very polite and never told us it was closing time.

As we left, we apologized to all we saw and EVERYONE was so polite and told us not to worry about it. One staff person even told us they were there to please us! They had the tram waiting for us as we were the only ones to use it. My family and I just wanted to say how nice everyone was and we appreciated all they did for us. We would have had to walk a long way to our vehicle if they had not waited for us.

We come every year and are always pleased with everything at the park.

Again, thank you to all staff who were so nice and for not making us feel rushed. What a great staff you have and we are especially grateful for the way they treat guests.

Thank you,

We just returned from our first visit to your park. We were planning to take our children to Disney World this summer, but my husband was permanently laid off, so were not financially able to take them and we felt awful about disappointing our three boys.

A friend told us about her experience at Holiday World, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad we did, we had a wonderful time, and we would of loved to stay a few more days.

We have been to Kings Island, Hershey Park, and Disney World many times, but our experience this weekend tops them all.

I want to say thank you for the free soft drinks and sunscreen. Times are tough and that really helped out.

We also were pleasantly surprised by how affordable it was to eat in the park.

If my husband finds a new job before spring we are planning on buying season tickets. We can't wait to come back!

Thanks for a great time!

The family and I just returned from another amazing visit to your park and I must say it blew us away again.

Living in Bellefontaine, Ohio, Cedar Point is our home park but ever since 2006(our first trip to Santa Claus) Holiday World has been our favorite place. Even my grandparents, who HATE amusement parks, love the free drinks, friendly prices, and seeing all their grandkids have a great time. And as the one true coaster enthusiast of the family, I found the greatest part of Holiday World to be being able to share my passion for roller coasters with my little sister. 

My sister, Sara, is 17 and has downs syndrome but she LOVES roller coasters.  She watches all the coaster shows with me and loves to discuss what she wants to ride and what she says, "No way!" to. The thing is for whatever reason the only rides she likes are wooden roller coasters. She is terrified of the intimidating, normally tall, looping and twisting steel coasters at Cedar Point. On our normal family trips to Cedar Point it is tough for all of us cousins to always have to leave Sara with the 'parents group' as we go ride all the 'big' steel coasters. So on our trip to Holiday World it was a blast seeing Sara so excited to ride 'all' the coasters with the group, and her yelling, "LET IT RAIN," and giggling all the way down the hill of Raven. So thank you for giving my sister the chance to fit in and be one of the 'brave' kids riding the biggest rides in the park.

Thanks a lot for a great trip,

Nate S.

My son works for you there at the water park as a lifequard.

We had a chance to visit Dollywood on Monday Aug. 3.  She has a nice park but not for the price she charges for admission. Her admissions are two different prices for the theme park and the water park. Didn't get to go to the water park but did pay attention to her theme park. Our park beats hers with prices and rides, cleanliness, and friendliness.

Our free soft drink offer is wonderful. A large drink at her park is $3.99. You can get a souvenir cup for $10.00 and then refills are still $2.59.  Wow!!! 

Talked to several people and told them about Holiday World. They couldn't believe we had free soft drinks and one admission price for both parks.

Dollywood also put in a new ride called the Zipline. However, it costs another $44.00 to ride that ride. In my opinion, if it's in the park there shouldn't be an extra charge to ride it. Please keep that in mine when getting new rides.

I'm sure you get several e-mails on parks but just wanted to give you my input on what a great park we do have. Keep up the good work.

Thank You!

My husband and I just got back from Cedar Point this past weekend and we had a blast but more than a handful of times we kept on saying, "The park here is great but it's no Holiday World!"

Last year we came to Holiday World and had a blast! That trip is on our top 5 "dates" that we have had together (a couple of places on that list are our honeymoon to Jamaica and a recent trip to Chicago). We tell everyone that says they want to go somewhere we tell them to go to Holiday World because it ROCKS!

The best part is that you don't spend a fortune to come there.  We had to pay $10 each day to park at Cedar Point; a bottled coke was $3; a Gatorade was $4; they had a Chick-fil-a in the park and a #1 was $10.35.  We missed the free drinks and didn't really drink much at Cedar Point because we couldn't afford it.

I just wanted to let Holiday World know that even though your park is not as huge as Cedar Point, that it ranks #1 on our list of parks that we love to go to!  

I just joined the Facebook page and LOVE the updates!

Thanks for keeping amusement parks affordable!
