Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari has announced new perks for 2026 Platinum Season Passholders, including early entry to Splashin’ Safari throughout June and July. Platinum passholders will be able to enter the water park daily from 10:15 to 11:00 a.m., with exclusive access to Mammoth, Cheetah Chase, Kima Bay, Tembo Falls, and Tembo Tides. Guests staying at Santa’s Cottages during those months will also qualify for early entry and receive discounted Holiday World tickets.

New for 2026, teachers will be eligible for discounts on season passes and tickets, joining existing offers for military members, first responders, and nurses. The park will continue to use ID.me for online verification to authorize all discounts.

The Free Pre-K Pass returns in 2026 for children born between July 1, 2020, and November 1, 2022. Registration must be completed online, and a government-issued document showing the child’s date of birth is required when processing the pass onsite. Children age three and under receive free admission.

Season passes for 2026 are on sale now at the lowest available price through September 30. Passes can be purchased in full or with monthly payments through the parks’ Easy Pay program, available until February 4, 2026. Guests who purchase and pay in full for a 2026 Platinum Season Pass now will also receive access to Sundays during Happy Halloween Weekends this year.

Holiday World’s Summer Wine’d Down Culinary Festival continues Fridays through Sundays until September 13. Splashin’ Safari’s final operating day for the season is September 13, and both parks will be closed to the public on Sunday, September 14. Happy Halloween Weekends begin September 20, featuring a new Dino Corn Maze Adventure and an all-new drone show, “Dinos Soar in the Sky.”

The fact that we are recognizing Teachers as "first responders" and veterans of war is great since they are both of those - just in a different battle. That and the fact that those people often have an entire summer off and now you are making it less expensive to spend the summers with you... good call!
