HOLIDAY WORLD BRINGS FUN TO HOMES THROUGH DIGITAL RESOURCES

BY GABRIELLE

Holiday World Theme Park & Splashin’ Safari Waterpark in Santa Claus, Indiana, have created digital resources designed to bring some fun into homes during the COVID-19 lockdown.

The Holidog’s Digital FunTown page boasts a series of features, including printable worksheets, interactive videos, magic and cooking videos, Spotify playlists and a Holiday World podcast.

Leah Kock, the resort’s owner, said: “As soon as schools started closing, we started hearing from parents who just wanted to bring their kids for the summer already.

“Since opening day may be farther away than we’d hoped, we decided we needed to bring a little Holiday World into everyone’s homes.”

Families are encouraged to recreate the rides and attractions at the theme park, as well as inventing new ones and share their creations on social media with the hashtag #HomemadeHoWo. People over the age of 18 who submit video content with the hashtag could be eligible to win tickets to enter Holiday World this summer.

The resort remains closed until further notice due to the outbreak of coronavirus.
