Holiday World & Splashin' Safari partnership
We are excited to announced that DCS has partnered with Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari to give foster children across Indiana the opportunity to visit the park for free!
Every foster child is eligible to visit Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari once per year at no cost. Foster children are required to be accompanied by a licensed or unlicensed resource parent.
To receive free admission for foster children, a resource parent should contact a DCS representative (Foster care specialist or family case manager) to receive a completed referral. The resource parent should then present the referral, along with a valid photo ID, at a Holiday World Guest Relations window to receive tickets for the eligible foster children.
Resource parents and those in their household are eligible for discounted tickets through Holiday World’s Online Fun Club. Details about the Online Fun Club Discount will be printed on the completed referral.
