Holiday World

Holiday World has a reputation that many parks would kill for. It’s known by theme park enthusiasts all over the world, many of whom have never visited the park yet know of its legendary wooden rollercoasters, free unlimited soft drinks and free sun cream.

Its reputation in some ways does it a disservice: Holiday World is a smaller park than many would imagine, and although its attractions are themed to various American holidays, it is not the overwhelming immersive Christmas-like experience some may expect (or fear!). It is, though, a beautifully kept park with unarguably a fantastic collection of rollercoasters, with a distinctly family-run feel that extends through the park employees to make every guest feel welcome.

Holiday World’s park areas are each themed around a different seasonal event or American holiday. Unsurprisingly in the town of Santa Claus, the park’s main entrance area has a Christmas theme including a giant Christmas tree in the centre. Other seasons represented are Thanksgiving, 4th July, and Halloween.

If you are seeking the theme park equivalent of the excitement and all-encompassing wonderfulness of a well celebrated special occasion, Holiday World is the place in which you will find it.
