Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari will roll out new perks and discounts for the 2026 season, including early entry for Platinum Season Passholders and reduced pricing for teachers.
Platinum Season Passes will now include early entry to Splashin’ Safari during June and July. From 10:15–11 a.m. each day, Platinum passholders can access 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 discounted tickets.
The expansion marks the first time Holiday World has offered teacher discounts on both tickets and passes. The park has previously extended similar offers to military members, first responders, and nurses. Discounts are verified through the ID.me online platform.
“We’re passionate about delivering outstanding value,” said Director of Communications and fourth-generation owner Leah Koch-Blumhardt. “Season Passes are an awesome value — at current prices, they pay for themselves in three visits or less. With early entry, Platinum Season Passholders can access an additional 45 hours of water park time.”
The Free Pre-K Pass will also return in 2026, covering children born between July 1, 2020, and November 1, 2022. Registration is required online, and families must present a government-issued document verifying the child’s date of birth when redeeming on-site. Children 3 and under receive free admission.
Season Passes are currently available at the lowest price through September 30. Guests can purchase passes with monthly payments through the park’s Easy Pay program until February 4, 2026. Those who purchase and pay in full for a 2026 Platinum Pass now can also attend Happy Halloween Weekends this fall on Sundays.
Splashin’ Safari closes for the year on September 13, and both parks will be closed on September 14. Happy Halloween Weekends begin September 20, featuring a new Dino Corn Maze Adventure and a drone show titled Dinos Soar in the Sky.
