Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, is giving locals and visitors one more chance to enjoy the park before the season closes. The park will be open for its final weekend of rides on Saturday and Sunday, offering families a last opportunity to experience the attractions before the gates close for the winter.
New $22 Million Water Coaster Adds Thrill
Among the highlights this season is the brand‑new water roller coaster, the Cannonball. The $22 million investment adds a high‑speed splash experience that combines the thrills of a traditional coaster with the refreshing splash of a water ride. Park officials say the Cannonball is designed to appeal to both adrenaline‑seeking teens and families looking for a fun, wet adventure.
USA Today Recognizes Halloween Weekends
Holiday World’s Happy Halloween Weekends have earned the distinction of “Best in the Midwest” from USA Today. The award reflects the park’s commitment to family‑friendly seasonal entertainment, featuring themed mazes, costume contests, and special nighttime shows that blend spooky fun with the park’s traditional values.
Plan Your Visit
Tickets for the final weekend are available online and at the gate. The park will operate its usual hours, with rides opening at 10 a.m. and closing at 6 p.m. Food service locations, souvenir shops, and the water‑park area will also be open, allowing guests to enjoy a full day of entertainment.
Local residents are encouraged to take advantage of the limited‑time opportunity, especially families looking for a safe, wholesome outing. Holiday World has long been a staple of the Santa Claus community, providing seasonal employment and drawing tourists to the area.
Looking Ahead to Spring
After the weekend closure, Holiday World will undergo routine maintenance and preparations for its spring reopening. Park management has indicated that new attractions and enhancements are planned for the upcoming season, promising continued growth and entertainment options for the region.
