Best time
Visit early and during daylight hours, especially for the Christmas event. The park gets quite dark after sunset despite light displays, and weather (cold, wind) becomes increasingly uncomfortable once the sun goes down.
Visitor tip
If you have preschool-age children, take advantage of the free season pass offer for young kids—their entry to Christmas at Kentucky Kingdom is completely free, making it an excellent value for families.
