When You're In the Park
You’re here and that means it’s time for AMAZING! To help you enjoy your day, here’s what you’ll see and experience inside the park.
Reminders and Protocols
Here are some reminders and protocols to keep in mind when you visit the park:
- Wash your hands every 20 minutes. We have many hand sanitizer stations all through the park.
- Avoid touching your face.
- Wear your face covering at all times. Face coverings should completely cover the nose and mouth, and not have exhalation valves or vents, which allows virus particles to escape.
- Face coverings may only be removed when experiencing water rides, while dining or when inside the RelaxZones, located throughout the park. In the RelaxZone, you may remove your face covering, provided social distancing of 6ft/2m is maintained between your party and other guests.
- Maintain 6’ social distance from other park guests and associates.
- Be in the know about all things Kings Island with our mobile app. You can find nearby hand sanitation stations, restrooms, open dining locations, and available attractions and rides.
- Use contactless forms of payment, including credit cards, Apple Pay and Android Pay.
-
For the comfort of all guests, smoking is only permitted in the designated smoking area, located outside the main gate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all rides and attractions at Kings Island open?
We anticipate all rides and attractions will be open. Please refer to signage prior to entering the park for a list of rides that may not open on the day of your visit.
Are you sanitizing the restrooms, toilets and sinks after every use?
We will be sanitizing more frequently as this is a high traffic, high volume, high-touch environment.
If seats are being removed from rides and tables removed from restaurants, will that make lines longer?
No, because we are also limiting the number of guests who can visit the park, so everything is reduced in proportion.
Can I exit and re-enter the park on the same day?
All guests may exit and re-enter the park. Ticket holders will need to obtain a re-entry voucher at the exit (we will no longer use hand stamps) and will need to go through the entry procedures again including the temperature checkpoint and metal detection. The health assessment completed prior to the first entry will be valid for the full day, but you will need to show your re-entry ticket to enter again. Season Passholders will be able to use their pass to re-enter and will also need to go through the entry procedures.
Once I am in the park, how long can I stay?
You are welcome to stay as long as you like until the park closes for the day.
