"Excellent for families"
January 2025
We absolutely loved our trip to Kentucky Kingdom. Everything was so beautifully decorated around Christmas and many photo options. We had our 4 year old son with us and he was able to ride most of the rides. We highly recommend it and will be back!

"Family fun"
July 2024
If you want a day filled with fun for the whole family, you've found it here! Nice water park, lots of smaller rides for younger children as well! The roller coasters are decent. The raging rapid ride could use some more water features, but I still really enjoyed that! One of the best things I can comment on is the food, best amusement park food ever!

"Great Deal!"
July 2024
I was taking my 4 kids to Kentucky Kingdom and I’m on a budget so the tickets were pretty high. I started googling coupons and ended up finding tripster. I was nervous at first because I thought it was a scam, but I saw some good reviews and gave it a chance. I literally saved $10 per ticket and an overall $50 through tripster. I received my tickets immediately via email. Definitely will be using this from now on when I’m trying to purchases tickets! My kids and I had a blast at Kentucky Kingdom. We rode several rides and all the water rides. Looking forward to going back next year.

The water park was really huge and a great experience for all ages! I would recommend on purchasing one of their Kentucky kingdom cups for a refill for a dollar for each fill up!

Tip: I would recommend one day for water park and a separate day for the park! It was such a nice place to take my two grandsons and some of their friends!
