Holiday World
Holiday Worldlies just north of the Kentucky border in Santa Claus, Indiana. The park's roots go back to Louis Koch in the 1940s. The Evansville businessman saw how disappointed children were when they visited Santa Claus, Indiana, and didn't find Santa. Over the years, the park has grown from a simple, year-round Santa's village to a full-blown amusement park with a water park. The park is laid out to celebrate holidays all year round, including Thanksgiving, Halloween, Independence Day and, of course, Christmas.
