Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari is one of the coolest theme parks and water parks in the country, and they are officially open for their summer season!
Located only 20 minutes away from Owensboro, Holiday World is perfect if you want to spend the day at the park and stay in Owensboro for the night without having to drive a long way. And it’s got plenty of activities for visitors of all ages, making it the perfect family-friendly park for those who love an exciting thrill along with those who prefer to stay away from roller coasters.
Speaking of roller coasters, Holiday World has three award-winning wooden coasters: The Raven, The Legend and The Voyage. Even better, Holiday World has the world’s ONLY launched wing roller coaster–The Thunderbird!
But that’s not all. At Splashin’ Safari, which is attached to Holiday World in a separate portion of the park, you can ride Mammoth, which is the LONGEST water coaster in the world! And Mammoth provides, not one, but two water coasters!
Like we said, there’s lots of exciting rides at Holiday World, but there’s also plenty of fun for the little ones. Click here to see a full list of rides, water park features and holiday-themed experiences for kids of all ages.
This year, Holiday World is changing things up by selling alcohol onsite, while other things will stay the same in the form of free sunscreen, drinks and parking each and every day. It’s hard to find another theme park that does that! Oh, and did we mention the amazing drone shows that are performed at night?!
You can buy individual tickets or season passes for Holiday World right here. Holiday World also provides Pre-K Season Passes for FREE to four- and five-year olds.
