Now you can celebrate the spirit of the season all year long at Holiday World and Splashing Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, where you can ride a wooden roller coaster which promises 24.2 seconds of weightlessness, soar 45 feet in the air on the HallowSwings, or float down a river through a darkened tunnel on the Raging Rapids. This year, the park also introduced the Pilgrims Plunge, the world's tallest water ride with a drop of 131 feet.

General admission for one-day entrance to both parks costs $40 per adult and $30 per child. You can save $4 when you purchase your tickets online. Plus, several discounts are available through the website.
