Visit Holiday World This Summer
I always enjoy posting about positive experiences I've had with businesses, especially considering how often I feel uncared for as a customer in today's business world.
Holiday World is a family-owned theme park in Indiana and has been since its opening in 1946. It's no Cedar Point when it comes to roller coasters, but it's an excellent theme park overall. Splashin' Safari is the water park section and is my favorite area. The wave pools are bizarrely fun and addictive. The Voyage is a great coaster and although Pilgrim's Plunge wasn't as thrilling as it seemed, it was still a very unique and pleasing experience. There are so many opportunities for Holiday World to be an evil business and they steer clear of them all:- Admission is $42 for an adult (cheaper with easily accessible coupons). That's the only fee they charge. No parking fees, separate charges for the water park, or any other random fee that some places try to push on you.
- There are free sunscreen and pepsi stations throughout the park.
- Every single worker was extremely polite and helpful. I saw one (male) employee discretely comfort a young boy who was crying regrets from getting on one of the roller coasters. He then stopped the line to let him get out.
- The whole place was as clean as it possibly could have been.
- Food was so reasonably priced that it was probably cheaper to eat at the park than it would have been on our way home.
