Holiday World is going cashless next year. Officials say this means cash won’t be accepted. They say it will help make a huge difference in their serving time, and will make for smoother operations. They will accept all major credit cards, Apple and Google pay, and Holi-cash. If you do have cash, you’ll be able to load it onto a ReadyCARD at kiosks located around the park. If there’s still money on it when your trip is over, it’s still good to use anywhere credit cards are accepted.
