Holiday World & Splashin' Safari
Editors' Choice – Splashin' Safari has been named the Best Waterpark in the nation by USA Today and was voted the world's #2 water park by the readers of Amusement Today for four consecutive years (2002 to 2005). Located in Santa Claus, Indiana, this 22-acre waterpark is one of two parks (Holiday World & Splashin' Safari) included for one great price.
Splashin' Safari features numerous family raft rides, two wave pools, plus water activities for children. The waterpark's flagship attractions are two incredible water coasters Mammoth and Wildebeest. Thrill-seekers should also try ZOOMbabwe – the world's largest enclosed water slide, Zinga – an eight-story, 336-foot long slide that drops riders into a six-story-tall funnel, Jungle Racer – a ten-lane side-by-side racing, speed slide or Bakuli – a 73-feet tall, 325-foot long enclosed slide featuring a splashdown into a 60-foot diameter bowl. There is also plenty to do for young children, including Tempo Tides – a 3,000 sq. foot gentle wave pool.
Access to adjoining theme park is included with admission. Holiday World is the world's first theme park and offers dozens of exciting rides and thrilling roller coasters, including Thunderbird, the nation's first launched wing roller coaster.
Of course, the best part of Holiday World & Splashin' Safari is the value. Unlimited soft drinks, inner tubes, and sunscreen are included with your admission.

Splashin Safari's Bakuli (bah-COOL-ee) raft ride begins a top a seven-story tall tower. Riders begin in total darkness, but end up in a giant bowl where you swirl around for several turns before flushing out the bottom. "Bakuli" is the Swahili word for bowl, but in reality it's more like a toilet bowl on steroids.
