I was going through some old keepsakes, and I found where I went to "Santa Claus Land" in 1958. I have all the brochures, postcards and maps. It's so amazing to see the difference there is now. And, my ticket stub shows I only paid 50 cents to get in.
What a fun memory then, and now.

I wanted to thank you and your staff for a great gluten-free meal for my great niece at Holiday World the last weekend of the season!
I was amazed how delicious the food was-tasted like Thanksgiving dinner at Mom’s house!! Sure didn’t taste like what I consider “amusement park food”! Those turkey legs were yummy and I would love to know how to season my green beans like those at Holiday World-and I loved the sweet potatoes!
I truly appreciate the special attention paid to getting Brooklyn hot, gluten-free food-you and your staff went the extra mile. Thank you again for your kindness and attention-you can bet I have really been singing your praises to everyone that will listen up here in Terre Haute!!
Thanks again-we will definitely return next summer-I can’t wait for my great niece to experience Splashin’ Safari!!!
Sincerely,
Deanna P.

I visited the park this past weekend, October 10 and 11, 2009. I have visited every year from northern Ohio, USA, for about five years now.
You do know your three wooden coasters are truly out of this world? "The Voyage" is my #1Favorite Coaster I have ever ridden --- and I have ridden A LOT of coasters. I long for "The Voyage" all year! That ride is breathtaking, no matter how many times I ride it! I dare say my soul literally flies with joy while I'm riding. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Tonight I searched the Internet trying to figure out a song I've heard only at Holiday World in Thanksgiving Land and I found the song. I first noticed the song last year I believe and I heard it again last weekend and smiled --- don't you dare ever remove "Hold Tight" by The Andrews Sisters from your play list! That song cooks!
Be Well,
Mark K.
P.S. I love your coasters --- did I already say that? Truly, the last two months have been very challenging for me in several ways and last weekend at your park was pure happiness and joy, hour after hour. I appreciate all of you who in any way contribute to the park's operation.

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate Holiday World accommodating those like my son with numerous food allergies. We go to Holiday World numerous times during the summer and what a wonderful time we can experience as a family knowing that he has “safe” food to enjoy.
Have a wonderful and blessed day!

My family and I went to Holiday World & Splashin' Safari this summer and loved it!
My boyfriend and I LOVED the waterslides, and my little brother couldn't stay away from Kima Bay!
Thanks for providing such a great vacation for us!

We have always wanted to visit Holiday World. When we lived in New Albany, Indiana, for 4 years, the time was not right to take our family because our children were so small.
Since then, we have moved and lived in our home state of West Virginia for the past 6 years. My husband and I felt that this year our girls were at the right age of enjoying the amusement park.
This Labor Day Weekend we decided to travel 5-1/2 hours to enjoy family fun. Easy...I-64 all the way from West Virginia at 70mph.
As we turned in the parking lot on Saturday the 5th of September, my husband heard a weird popping noise. The employee of the park directing the traffic waved us to the side because our tire was flat. Immediately behind us came two park employees (Mike K. & Keith R.) in their official park vehicle. They jumped right in and insisted to do everything...even take our tire back to the repair shop to get patched so we would have a spare when we left the park that evening. While our flat tire was getting inspected, we were enjoying the park as a family. My husband insisted on paying the men for their help and they refused because their kind acts were done unselfishly.
I immediately praised God for sparing us from tragedy that could of happened on the interstate or being stranded.
Although the rides are fun, all the rides in the world could not surpass the goodness that God instills in people.
We will always be grateful for the kindness that the staff showed at Holiday World. It may be part of their job but I believe that God surely uses people to do His will. His plan worked perfectly for my family on that day.
Thank you Holiday World for having such a "Wonderful Staff."
Sincerely,

I'm a hairstylist and I have a family that I cut hair for with 2 small boys.
Holiday World is an every summer event that I have heard about for several years.
This summer right after school let out this family was going to Disney. I was sure that was going to be a trip of a lifetime and I would hear about every detail.
Their next cut appointments I asked, "How was vacation?" The boys replied, "The lazy river rocks...I love the water bumper cars...I drank 6 pops...Did you see Mom scream on the Legend?" I was confused since I knew they were supposed to go to Disney. I had never been to Holiday World as of yet. I asked the Mom if they had not been able to go to Florida for some reason. Why...because the boys kept talking about Holiday World and how they saved thousands of dollars.
I took my family and friends in August for our first trip to the famous Holiday World. OMG! This is a place to make a lifetime of memories.
THANK YOU!
Ya'll got it right!

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed Holiday World, especially after a visit to another park this summer! You really are a family park.
I am thrilled to see the new Wildebeest. I thought of e-mailing to ask you to think about building a water ride about like it, and wow, you knew what I wanted before I did! And, you did away with those dreaded steps. Way to go Holiday World!!
From now on, you're my park to visit.

I just want to say thank you for returning my sons wallet to us via mail. You really treat your patrons well and with kind consideration. I really never thought we would get his wallet back and with everything intact.
Thank you so much,

We visited the park last weekend with our 2 children, and we were so impressed. It was the cleanest and friendliest park we have ever visited.
There was one employee who really stood out to me at the park. His name was Blake and he was working the kid’s bumper boats on Sunday afternoon. He was smiling and friendly to everyone. He was interactive with the children and made sure they had fun on the ride. I witnessed a customer making suggestions of how he could put all of her children on the ride at one time. He handled this lady with such grace. He used the greatest skill and made it impossible for her to be upset with him. He had great communication skills and offered fabulous customer service. My children rode the boats several times, and all the workers were great; however, Blake really was a shining star at your park. I just wanted him to be recognized for his great work.
We had an outstanding weekend and are considering season passes for next year!
Thanks for a memorable weekend for our family.
