Yes - we're there! Summer 2010 is right around the corner and I'm as excited as can be for my first summer at the
Visitors Bureau... I started in the fall of last year and have been hearing about great summers in Spencer County over and over, and now all of the activity is finally about to begin!
Holiday World & Splashin Safari opens for weekends in just a few days, May 1, 2010. Shortly after, on May 14, 2010, the theme park will open daily for the summer, featuring the World's Longest Water Coaster,
Wildebeest! I can't wait to get a tan during my visits to Holiday World. :)
Santa's Candy Castle and
Lincoln Pioneer Village also open on Saturday, May 1, 2010. These two attractions are each celebrating 75 years this year... wow, that's a long time!
The Holiday Drive-In, one of my childhood favorites, is already open for weekends and will soon be open nightly. And of course, I love going to the
Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial and
Lincoln State Park this time of the year - it's great to walk the trails and see spring take over without any pesky bugs or sticky humidity.
...there's just too much going on for one blog post right now! I plan to visit attractions in the area and report back to "show & tell" my experiences.
I'd love to hear from YOU to learn about your travel tips and ideas for others visiting the area... Are there any families or travelers out there that have visited previously and would like to share?
Spencer County is home to Santa Claus, Indiana: America's Christmas Hometown AND Lincoln's Indiana Boyhood Home - where else can you find such distinct family fun in one area?
