Kings Island has partnered with The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), a global leader in online training and certification programs, to be designated as a Certified Autism Center™ (CAC).

Over the past several months, Kings Island’s staff has received specialized training to ensure they have the requisite knowledge, skills, temperament and expertise to cater to better communicate and engage with all children, including those with special needs.

As a leader in healthcare, corporate, and education certification for more than 20 years, IBCCES recognized the need for more trained and certified travel and entertainment options. In response to feedback from families and individuals with sensory needs, IBCCES adapted its evidence-based programs specifically for amusement parks, zoos, resorts, aquariums, and other family entertainment venues.

IBCCES also created AutismTravel.com, a free online resource for parents that lists certified destinations and connects families to other resources and each other. Each destination listed on the site has met Certified Autism Center (CAC) requirements.

Learn more about the Certified Autism Center™ designation here.

It's not easy being green

When Kings Island opened in 1972, it was decided that landscaping would serve a large part in telling the park’s story. Dick Ammon (a renowned local landscaping expert responsible for works such as the Cincinnati Zoo, Coney Island, Indianapolis Museum of Art and Miami University) and Roy Rector (Kings Island’s first grounds superintendent) were responsible for leading a team that designed the landscape of Kings Island. The team chose to base their design on those of elaborate European Gardens.
