Description

You're part of a proud tradition when you work with us at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari. From our humble beginnings in 1946 as Santa Claus Land, America's first theme park has grown into a world-class attraction in the heart of Santa Claus, Indiana. Holiday World's top-ranked coasters and attractions, along with its lovingly restored and maintained classic rides, are matched only by Splashin' Safari water park-the Water Coaster Capital of the world. Since 1946, the parks have been owned and operated by the Koch family, and that makes all the difference. When you work for Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, we treat you like family because we are a family.
