Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom Review

The best place to get a sunburn and enjoy yourself.

The rides are fun and I was glad that there were rides that my one year one year old can ride. That being said, they had closed several of the rides and water slides for the season already but the website makes no mention of that. We waited almost 30 minutes to get a couple of chicken tender meals and when my husband said something to the person working the food booth, she just walked away without saying anything. Also, we waited in line to ride the raging rapids ride just to be told that my daughter couldn't ride because she was wearing a bathing suit. This is after we had been standing on the platform for a good minute and there was a very long line we would have waited through a second time. There are other rides that have signs specifying that you need street clothes to ride on but this one didn't. I mean, its a water ride for heavens sake. So fun, but poor customer service, in my opinion. I mean when you are charging $30 per ticket, and have people driving from hours away you can at least specify that some rides will be closed down.

Not the biggest or the best Amusement Park, but very well run and definitely has the potential to continue to grow.

Grew up with this park, just glad it's still around.

Kids smoking weed in the smoking sections!!! Wow how kid friendly also groups of young kids running around trying to be thugs and making the experience of Kentucky kingdom terrible!! I wish I would of never bought my family and I passes!!!

Didnt have a lot for a 2 year old to do, but there were a few rides she could ride. It was pretty clean and everyone was really helpful and nice. It was a great day and plan on going again.

Non resident price of $40 for 2 days 2 parks unlimited soda a great value. Less wait time for rides than other amusement parks.

Caught pneumonia from dirty water park. Sick for months. Chairs and bathrooms filthy.

I love it there especially there new ride storm chaser

Good place to go with Friends and family. The rides are good. Overall the park is pretty clean. And depending on when you go, the lines are really not that bad. The staff are friendly and polite.

I would definitely recommend it visiting if you have the time. I would definitely get a season pass if you live in the area.

Park too expensive especially when it's reallt busy. The waterpark isn't very clean neither

A little over priced for the number of rides. Hurricane bay is always crowded and starting to show it's age. About the only real positive is it's local. If you're looking for easy, this is the place, if you're looking for fun, go to Cincy or Chicago.

Love the park!!!! I Have been coming to KK for 25+yrs and now my kids get to enjoy the park! You guys have done a wonderful job with the park and I look forward to many more yrs! The free drinks are going to be a nice benefit next yr!!!! The park should have something for Halloween!

Most of the employees were very cranky when I visited this water park. Although it says that the park is 63 Acres it is not that big. This park is targeted more towards children under 10. It has a few rollercoasters but are nothing compared to other parks in the surrounding area such as Holiday World, Kings Island, Cedar Point etc. The 2 day pass is $40 for out of state visitors which is a bargain but it just does not have enough attractions to even last 2 days. I would not recommend this park nor would I go back again.

Great place to take a family. Has something to do for everyone. Recommend getting drink bands because they can get expensive over a days time with everyone getting thirsty. Easy to find and get to. Friendly staff. Fair prices considering what you get. I would recommend to a family looking to have a good time.

Not as big as a lot of other parks but reasonably priced and kids loved it

For locals, Kentucky Kingdom is a fantastic value at a season pass level. For travelers, it ain't bad either, as ticket prices are competitive/better than other regional amusement parks. KK has come a long way since I last visited, back when it was a Six Flags park. It's not as big as some other destinations, and two of it's coasters feel eerily similar, despite not looking at all alike. Still, the rides are good, and everything is well kept. Hurricane Bay has many great features.

Strengths: Good rides, fair prices, big water park, many good attractions, adult beverages .

Areas for improvement: Better training for staff professionalism (they're mostly kids), better logistics for rides to decrease wait times (wait times can often seem unreasonable).

My kids had a blast. We went on a Friday after the local schools were in session and there were no lines. We will be back next year.

Place is runndown. Stinks.
New owners are on it.
Needs more shade.

Who Wants Some ABC ice?, if you go there and drink your pretty much french kissing everyone in there, got my cup refilled and the worker dipped my cup that i had been drinking out of all day into the ice, i was looking around for a candid camera, i said is that how all drinks are made he laughed and said "yeah", i said get me some fresh clean ice, oh but they have these green wannabe cops at the front gates that check your bags to make sure your not taking your own clean "non-contaminated" drink, i complained to the manager, and she said well we don't allow outside drinks for your health and your safety, i said how is that safe, and healthy when your workers are giving people ABC ice.

Went here on 7/29/18 & 7/30/18
Absolutely amazing place to visit!

Pros:
Free second day
Free drinks
Free sun block
Rides for every age
Staff was friendly
They have a toddler water area that is so adorable and my daughter had a blast.

Cons:
So much walking lol
Workers are overworked (heard some employees talking about it)
Wish they would have characters walking around for the kids
Dont like that the wristbands for free drinks you have to keep on overnight because they dont want to replace them the next day.

***** When on the lighting run ride a bolt flew off the front cart. Luckily no one was hurt but the employees were amazing when it came to making sure it safe afterwards even though it was almost time for the park to close******

***** Oh so I wish my son wouldve got the guys name but he went on the big yellow slide that has a ton of stairs but my son said he was happy that the guy pushed the button to let him drop even though he was having second thoughts. He said that was his favorite water slide ever as well. Thanks to that guy .......... im glad you didnt let my son back out of it******

**** Didnt like that the movie ride had a pre show that took forever. They could shorten it because the movie ride was so much fun.*******

Definitely a place to visit with the entire family. Will be back next year.

I went with my grandson and he loved it so much that I later ordered tickets for four which two grandchildren and their guest used on the 24th of August. The tickets did not mention any extra fees but when they got there they had to pay an extra $5 per ticket because they were told it was during the fair. If I had been there they would have had a hard time with that charge, but teenagers don't know what to do. Also, it was 99 degrees and my granddaughter said a bottle of water cost $3. I was surprised they did not have free cups of water as I had been to the zoo the day before and every concession had bottles of water for sale or free cups of water. I sent a note to 6 flags about the extra fee but never heard back.

Horrible place. Overpriced, not even remotely fun. Rides breakdown non stop.

I screamed so much. The first time I have ridden rollercoasters in 20 yrs.

I really like the variety of rides and the size of the park. The prices are cheap in consideration of the rides.

Was a great deal! Greatly appreciated that they had sun screen available and we could refill our pop.

It's small and through the week alot of different attractions are closed. I guess they don't want to pay full staff except on weekends and then it's to crowded on weekends.

Kentucky Kingdom 2019 Awesome Amusement Park In Louisville Kentucky

My family and I certainly had fun, but were disappointed in the lack of food choices. Overall, we worth the money

They got a pikachu with a cowboy hat. How can I not?

This place is wonderful many people have a lot of fun

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my favorite place ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Great fun! May not be on the same scale as Cedar Point or Kings Island but kids loved hurricane bay and the coasters that were there. For 29$ per person not bad for a day trip. 10$ for parking and 11$ for a small locker i recommend.

Had a great time buy one cup and refills were one dollar

Great place to bring the kids. They love Hurricane Bay and riding the rides! Lots of fun!

Kentucky kingdom was awesome. That's the place to take yourself and your kids. You get two days at the park for the price of one. Nice water park and amusement park along with a pretty cool sea lion and bird show. Free soft drinks also and sunscreen.

Everything was great minus the fact that an hour after we got there it started to down pour and thunder! Due to this everything was shut down the rest of the day because it kept raining and thundering! We stood around until 430 waiting but they wasn't opening anthing back up! Tired to see about a refund but we got told there was nothing they could do about it!

Great for kids ages 4 and up. Lots of rides for the little ones in the amusement park. Two separate small child spaces (with slides!) I. The water park.

Had the best time! The lines were short and not so many ppl ! The only bad that happened wS i lost my new prescription glasses riding on the roller coaster. Found them shattered and broken on the ground. Cojldnt see the entire rest of the day.

I had a very bad experience at Kentucky kingdom and I will never go back....VERY RACIST....first time me going and I will NEVER GO BACK.

Clean, well kept, fair prices, great staff, great for kids!

So much fun the rides r epic ND the free drinks this is the place to be

There's something for the whole family! Although the food is a bit pricey the rides makeup for it

My favorite water park ever!! Can get wild out there in then waves though. Keep close eye on your kids

I wish that I could respond to Sybil Drew regarding the park being located in a "disgusting" city. Louisville is a clean, diverse, and historic city. Sybil's city must be extravagant!
But I digress...KK is awesome with several roller coasters of various degrees. Even a new wooden coaster which goes inverted. Hurricane Bay is massive with several water slides, a lazy river, and this ridiculously large "funnel" slide that is pretty awesome. There are several water rides and the normal classics as well. Pricing on tickets and passes are normally lower than other parks and are especially discounted during this Covid crisis. Though I wish they had longer operating hours.

This is my first time being at Kentucky Kingdom, I'm a little disappointed. Whenever we first got here, one of the employees had a STOP sign, so we stopped. Whenever he moved out of the way and turned the stop sign, we went on. He then started yelling at us being very disrespectful. The season pass on the website shows $69.95, whenever I went to pay for the season pass I was charged $78.10. We went to get on the Rapid Ride or something similar to the name of that and two out of the three of us was kicked off because one didn't have a shirt on (a male) and the other a female because she didn't have a towel wrapped around her exposing her stomach. We was required to have shirt on the ride and if your stomach is exposed then you must have a towel wrapped around you. We spent over an hour at that ride waiting in line and it was around a 30 second ride that did nothing interesting, just spinned you around in circles and a few bumps here and there splashing a few drops of water on you. The wave pool was closed the for around an hour or two because someone decided to take a bowel movement in the water, yuck. A few of the rides, we felt unsafe on. One of the slides, we nearly hit the sprinkler and was hanging on our floats with our hands gliding in the air. They did have a ton of options for a variety of people, and nobody would be left out. However, the food was expensive. $10 for a box of chicken tenders which only had three in it and a scoop of fries, no drink included. And we went around the lazy river once and was told to leave so other people could get in, where they created a line and you could only go around once.

Nice park to spend the day. Not a huge park but enough to keep busy.

King Louis area was great for the smaller kids. Lines for rides were great. Parking was well managed considering there was also a festival & a concert going on.

Cool for the average visitor but may be disappointing to the die hard coaster enthusiast.

Fun day enjoyed the time with family was alot better than being at work

Food should be fresher when they charge as much as they do. Hamburger toppings looked like they had sat for days

The worst customer service in any business I have ever seen. They treat customers like a trash. You will regret it if you go there, especially if you are from out of state of Kentucky.

Lines to long for coasters food extremely over priced by the end of the day your broke and only get to ride like four rides because of the lunee

We have had season passes for the last 2 years and really enjoy the park. I took a star off because the workers--mainly the teens/young adults at the restaurants--are not very friendly or helpful. We went to King Louie's almost an hour after it opened and were told we couldn't get hot dogs because they were still frozen.

The good thing about this park being subpar is that there aren't very long lines. However, the service is awful at the restaurants with some of the rudest or just plain indifferent employees I've ever encountered.

The food isn't very good for the price. The only food worth buying is the funnel cake, which is phenomenal.

The water park is really cool when it's clean (sometimes it isn't). The first day it was open this season, I saw lifeguards rescue three individuals in a row in the wave pool. They are clearly doing their job well and that's important.

My son does love the park and thinks the food is fine, as he's nine.

The perks with the season pass are OK. Discounted food, but pretty bland food still for the price. Free parking which is good because you can get a close spot most days. $1 drinks which is cool.

The free sunblock is a fantastic way to ensure the health and safety of the patrons so I applaud that effort. It'd be nice if they upped it to spf50 at least.

This park has the potential to be phenomenal, and at it's special season pass price (like 59.95) it's pretty much a "you get what you pay for" scenario, but if you drive a long distance, one bad experience here could deter you from ever seeing it as worth the drive for a season pass.
