Getaway Giveaway: Our 80th Opening Weekend Is Almost Here!
The weather is getting warmer, our rides are starting to spring back to life, and our pools are almost ready for you to come splash again.
That means that Holiday World’s Opening Weekend is almost here!
And this year, we’re celebrating our 80th season. We’ve come a long way since we opened as Santa Claus Land back in 1946.

While some Guests don’t start planning their annual visit until Memorial Day Weekend or after, they’re missing out on some great perks for planning an early-season visit.
By visiting in May or early June, you’ll get to experience your favorite attractions with some of the shortest lines we’ll have all year. Plus, you can take advantage of some of our BIGGEST online ticket savings.
There are perks to being an early visitor!
So don’t delay in planning your trip, whether it’s your only visit of the year, or just the first visit of the season.

With our Pick Your Date Ticket Calendar and savings, you can save up to $32 on tickets to visit in May. In fact, the smallest amount you’ll save on tickets to visit this month is $8 off per ticket!
So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your visit now!
Holiday World opens for the season on Saturday, May 9. Splashin’ Safari opens Saturday, May 16. See our full calendar to plan your visit now.
To celebrate counting down those last few days until we open, we’ve decided to start a new giveaway.
