I really wish I could give this place more stars. The waits were extremely long, but that was probably because we came to the most crowded day in holiday world history. The rides were fun. But I didn't like closing, most of water slides 35 minutes before the waterpark closes. Some staff were rude. But this one lady was really nice. The more hostile people were younger which makes sense. I like how you could get free drinks really good addition, and the voyage a amazing ride. But they were closing the legend 45 minutes before the park closes, and the raven 25 minutes before the park closes. I'm starting to think they were trying to make us leave the park before closing. I think maybe if I give holiday world a try again they can improve, but until then I have to give 2 stars.

For a regional amusement park, Holiday World has a great variety of rides. There are some intense looking coasters for thrill seekers, but we steered clear of them. Our littles prefer milder rides, like the bumper cars and Gobbler Getaway. To be sure, this isn't Universal Studios, but it does the trick. We especially enjoyed the Halloween drone show at night. Very cool! Our biggest beef had to do with the lack of efficiency throughout the park. Lines moved slowly, whether for rides or food, due to poor line management and layout. Overall, Holiday World is worth the price, *if* you can get a hefty discount. We scored 50% off. But it's definitely not worth full price.

Holiday World is where I was jolted on The Voyage and forced into roller coaster retirement until the end of time but I'll never hold it against them. I'm a born and raised Hooiser but had never been to Holiday World! I had always heard about it so was jazzed to check it out. We went for the first time last year and plan to return for many years to come! What's not to love? The holidays are just so cute and thoughtful! They have Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and 4th of July. Each with themed rides! From the music to the flowers - they truly make each holiday feel unique and special! They have both rollercoasters and a giant water park! Complimentary soft drinks and sunscreen included in you ticket. You'll make an investment for the day with tickets being about $60 per person but it's well worth it! First responders get a significant discount! Pro tip: eat a thanksgiving meal! They have turkey and all the sides!

First time here, didn't know what to expect. I know they call it a wooden rollercoaster , you can see wood on the sides of the loading and unloading area, someone said to me that it wasn't really scary at all. I said OK ! I'll try it my first time here and first ride ever. /-- /---/ I'm glad I made it off Alive ! I'm glad I tried it off of a lie !!!! But I will never try it again ! Super fun! But not for me anymore.

I've been going to Holiday World for as long as I can remember, and it's a true Indiana gem. They put the theme in theme park. Free drinks on a hot day is honestly an experience-making offer. The Mammoth Water Coaster was the highlight ride of the day.

Free parking- Free fountain drinks (including water) w/cups- Free sunscreen (Australian Gold)- Attentive staff- Holiday themed rides, games & eateries- The attraction selections are plenty but mind the height restrictions & line waiting. We waited in line twice for the Watubee the second time was longer than the first time. ( approximately 30 mins or more) when waiting with children makes it seems longer for 2 mins of a slide. Most of the rides kiddo would have liked to ride were closed the day we went. There were long lines at some of the popular attractions & but others weren't long at all that we were able to just walk on them multiple times. The park was overall fairly clean, well stocked & some staff were friendly & helpful. Be expected to go a lot of walking & if you plans ahead & map our which attractions you want to visit, it makes it easier to know where you're going. Holiday world website has plenty of helpful tip & info as well, like they are completely cashless, all vendors & games, etc are 100% cashless. They do have machines/atm to convert your cash into card on site. A couple things we did notice is that not all bathrooms are touchless most are have the outdated sinks & hand dryer but they function fine. Also, they have a lot of staff focused on safety & sanitation, there were some vendors that were one maned & tend to get backed up. Once again not a negative just be aware that it's possible for a wait in service at certain locations. But come to find out there was power outages during the day, so holiday world is letting us come back! Which is awesome!

Average wait 45 minutes per waterslide. Some waterslides smell of urine. Regular rides are fun.

We visited Holiday World twice in 2023. The first time was Memorial Day and second time was Labor Day. Both times the park was clean, well maintained, and staff was friendly. Free parking, drinks, and sunscreen are nice perks. They allow bags, wagons, and outside food. I highly recommend bringing your own food. At peak meal times, food lines are long and portions are small for the price. There is a gluten free snack shack with a variety of GF options. Lines were not bad in the water park, about 30 minute wait for popular water coasters. The water coasters are awesome and the only ones I've seen (we've been to most US amusement/water parks). On these hot sunny days, the lines in the amusement park were short while the water park was open. The Thunderbird is a fantastic roller coaster, shooting you to 60 mph in seconds. The wooden coasters are huge and well maintained. I really don't have any suggestions for improvement.

Horrible. Absolutely disgusting. I made the mistake of coming here under the illusion I would receive a delicious tasty burger with yummy jalapeño cheese fries and instead, was slammed in the face by reality. The menu is limited and the food tasted horrible. Save yourself from time in the bathroom and find another restaurant.

Literally amazing. A gem of Southern Indiana. Holiday world is a reasonably priced theme park. Head straight back to thanksgiving to hit up 2 big coasters (so fun). Then work your way thru Halloween for some more fun coasters. Grab some lunch and then hit up the water park the rest of the time! Honestly... this place does it well. The lines were surprisingly not bad. Our longest wait was maybe 35 minutes and I went on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. There is PLENTY to do - rides, smaller rides for kids, snacks/food, games, shows, etc. It was a clean park. Workers were friendly and did job well. FREE soft drinks/water/lemonade/Gatorade fill stations all over the park with cups and ice. FREE!! ANytime you want: that was amazing. Also FREE sunscreen. If you hit up the water park you can pay to rent a keyless locker. Easy to set this up and efficient. The rides were extraordinary. The Wildabeest was a highlight but I loved them all. Ate a cheeseburger and it was a little over cooked but still good- they even had pickles and lettuce, onion packed separately to prevent the burger from getting soggy. The park was clean, family friendly, had nice-clean music playing. Truly a delightful time and I will come back.

Visited this weekend, and had an awesome time. As the commercials sell, the free soft drinks and parking were very nice. We did not take advantage of the free sunscreen but that is also a cool benefit they offer. We got there pretty early in the day, and were able to park fairly close and walk in without a wait. We immediately went back to the thunderbird to knock out the rides further from the entrance hoping for shorter lines. Overall, the roller coaster wait times weren't too bad. About 30 minutes or so each. Halfway through day, we headed to water park. The water park is super cool, but it was just a little too crowded for us. The lines for each ride were over an hour, which was a little excessive for a couple minute long ride. Their workers were nice and kept things moving, so I know it wasn't really their fault but that was my only detriment. We got multiple items from concessions and everything was decent. We got the digital picture pass and it was easy. Not sure it was worth the price tag, since not all rides had the pictures, but some of pictures were funny. Overall, we had a good day and I could see us coming back sometime, but maybe during week when it is less crowded

Fun family owned amusement park. Voyage is arguably the best wooden coaster in the world. Thunderbird is a nice supporting coaster. Good park atmosphere. Food was good and park was very clean. One star taken away because their ride operations were not impressive at all; and they closed Thunderbird's queue half an hour before close, when the line was clearly not half an hour long.
