In addition to offering more than 100 world-class rides, shows and attractions, Kings Island offers a series of special events each and every year that provides added value for guests visiting the park and fits the bill for those looking for fun things to do in the Cincinnati area. Military Days, Community Appreciation Days, JDRF fundraising walk, a three-day Christian music festival, Halloween Haunt, The Great Pumpkin Festival and WinterFest is just a sampling of some of the events planned for the season. Plus, there’s special events exclusively for our Gold and Platinum season passholders throughout the year. These events include a Preview event before the park opens for the season, giving passholders the first opportunity of the year to become reacquainted with their favorite rides and attractions, Bring-A-Friend Days and more!
