Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom Review

It's becoming crowded by 2pm. Plus the wave pool always has loose sand. Not sure why it's dirty.

I've experienced a lot of parks in my day and I've got to say I've been to better,but I understand there is not a lot of land to work with in this are. Over all it a good hangout, but a little steep on prices

My kids and I had a great time.I hope we can go back soon.

The haunted houses were GREAT, but even though it closes at 12am they don't tell you that the rides closes at 10pm and not all the rides were open. The few rides that you could ride, they didn't let you ride as long. You went around twice and that was it. Also if you have a season pass you still had to pay $10 for each haunted house per person. I would go again and I think they should add more haunted houses.

Kentucky Kingdom isn't as good as Kings Island in Cincinnati, which is only about an hour and a half away. But there are still enough rides for any thrill seeker to get their fix, and the water park is huge with many slides and two wave pools and two lazy rivers!

Mile High Falls and Hurricane Bay, best fun in a long time.

My family's first time there and I must say it exceeded our every expectation. The park is easy to get around and the wait lines were not bad. All the staff we had interactions with were super friendly. We will definitely be going again in the future.

We came on the same day as the KY State Fair and had to pay an extra $10 per person plus $10 for parking, which is uncalled for. That probably could have been sectioned off and better organized. Beyond that, this was my second visit since it re-opened. The parks were fun. Hurricane bay is better. The food is a bit over-priced, but good.

Im so glad Kentucky Kingdom is open again. It's so fun and won't break your wallet. I bought season passes and it's well worth the money.

My family and I traveled 6 hours to come here because we wanted to go to an amusement park that was not cedar point. During this time we found many flaws. First things first although they dismiss by each row on rides they dont wipe the seats or anything in between rides. so if someone has covid they are gonna give it to every single person that sits in the seat and then transfer it to all the other rides so at that point it's pointless to even dismiss by different rows. The food was the worst. The pizza was $10 and it was burnt to a crisp, the burger tasted terrible, and the chicken tenders where super hard. Next, when I first entered the park they didnt say anything about my shirt (it said new york freaking city) and when we had to leave the park because one of my kids shoes broke we came back into the park and then all of a sudden it was a problem because it said freaking???? I told the lady that I was allowed in the first time around and that I have even been on rides and everything and nobody else said anything to me the whole time (it was about 430 at this point). I ended up having to turn my shirt inside out to be able to come in. Next, when we first parked we paid $10 to park no big deal when we left to go get other shoes we had asked the gentleman directing traffic if we would have to pay for parking again he said no just show them the receipt. When we came back we did but still had to pay and the lady said that the man didn't work for them?!?! But yet when we passed this man he had the same shirt on that the rest of the workers had on and he was helping guests cross the road and helping guest leave the park. That's kind of doing a lot for someone that doesn't work for the park. Other than these couple things the park overall was nice. There were lots of rides to go on the lines weren't super long most of the time it was a get on get off type of line. Most of the staff was nice.

In other amusement parks, the lines are always very long. However, in Kentucky kingdom, I have never seen a line longer than half an hour. My personal favorite attraction was the surfing simulator.

Does anyone know if they have family season passes ?

Fun place to go for kids and adults alike. Wait times depend on the rides of course. The employees were happy to assist me and my group and we were met with smiling faces.

Having a great day. Rode some rides, watched the sea lion show and now at the avian adventure. Park not overly crowded

Clean, safe enviornment for my children to play, explore, and make family memories!!!

Great rides and fun water park. Only had food at a BBQ place across from the kid rides that wasn't too great. Otherwise fun!

Great amusment. I started when I was young and it's still great after all this time I I've gotten season pass for the last 3 years and I expect to buy them for the years to come. They plan on making even more rides to amaze and entertain me. Everything about this park is great. Strongly recommend anyone here.

Many people and you do not have time to enjoy you have to wait for hours to be able to show in a game

Great place to take the kiddos. Most rides are rideable if they are at least 48 inches tall, and there is an area for smaller children.

Very good staff, helpful and smiling. We really enjoyed our two day trip!!!

This park is great attraction wise... but there s one thing that can ruin you re whole experience there. Workers tend to seem bored, sad, and not the kindest. Now this doesn t go for all of them... but it goes for a lot. The Public Safety Officers are even worse. Every single one WANTS to get you in trouble for the most innocent mistake. I got in a horrific amount of trouble for lifting a restraint TOO EARLY! I didn t even know that it was wrong and they acted like I knew what I was doing!! Horrible safety officers that would be better off working at Dick s Last Resort. There they could be paid for being nothing but jerks!!!!!

I get season passes every year for my daughter and I. It's a good family fun place and the passes pay for themselves because we go at LEAST 10 times a year. Each trip I easily spend 40.00 for food, drinks, (funnel cake which is a must) and games. We also get our KK cup so we can have our drinks in a bigger cup. Imagine my astonishment when the website had Hurricane Bay opening an hour earlier on Memorial Day( @ 10 am). This This was an error schedule and we arrived an hour & 10 minutes early to stand outside. The first person KK worker I complained to didn't believe me because by this time the website was changed. However, another KK employee apologized for the mistake and gave me a 10.00 KK card. My point isn't the money, it's the principle of good customer service. Thank you KK.

This place is great to spend time with family and friends

Our 10, 6, and 4 year old boys love coming here. We try to arrive when it opens, stay for a few hours and leave before its crowded. Employees have all been very friendly and polite. My only complaint is the guests that smoke as they walk around completely ignoring the rules to only smoke in designated areas.

Fun rides, didn't like taking my glasses off every ride though . Been to Holiday World, Kings Island and Walt Disney World, never had to go blind to ride a ride. Its stupid

Being a new park, it seems as if it is heading in the right direction. There are some great things about the park and some things that could be improved.

GOOD:
The entire park was very clean and new, the drinks for $1 was great, and the $30 admission for Tennessee residents made the experience better.

A Lot of law enforcement... Makes it great for safety.

On the coasters there were elevators for patrons that have disabilities, so they don't have to walk up steps. I think that is great so that all people can have fun at the park.

There were also a lot of fair rides which made it very fun... Sometimes I felt as if I were at a county fair, and then I look across the street and see the new Storm Chaser which reminded me I was at and Amusement park.

Hurricane Bay looked like it was great! I was lots of people having fun, and it appeared to be pretty clean. Unfortunately I didn't go to the water park, but I'm sure it would have been a blast... Especially the Mile High Falls.

My favorite thing about this park was the Sea Lion show. They were very well trained, and kept me thoroughly entertained. I could tell that their trainers were also very educated with the animals, and that they enjoyed what they were doing.

BAD:
While the tickets are a good value, the park had a few things that just made the experience not the best.

1- The food was overpriced, I payed $13 dollars for a basket of chicken and fries that weren't the best.

2- The coaster are VERY far apart. If your planing on coming here, be ready to walk a bunch!

3- The time it takes to board the ride a a little long.

4- The T3 ride is unpleasant. The ride itself is good...But it would be much better if the entire thing didn't shake you a lot. The lap bars are another problem with that ride. The lap bars only lock to where they can't be opened, but they don't lock to where they can't fall further on your thighs. While riding, the lap bars went down very tightly on our thighs and I felt like my circulation was being cut short.

5- A little too expensive if your paying normal price, I inderstand that they offer the best value for season passes in the area, but the single day tickets are a bit expensive.

Over all this park was great, I would recommend coming if you just so happen to be in the area, be sure to ride the Lightning Rod and the Storm Chaser because they are AWESOME!

There are lots of rides to ride the wave pool is a lot of fun even if you have younger children there still a lot of stuff for them to do personally I didn't take to the food and a lot of of the food is overpriced along with the but we still had an amazing time

Amazing time ! Friendly staff great place for family an just to get away

Good thrill rides and amusement rides. Food was ok, service wasn't the best and very slow at the concession stand

I'm from chicago and honestly had a great experience at Kentucky Kingdom! This is coming from someone who goes to Six Flags Great America all the time.

It's definitely no Cedar Point, but it's still a fun place to visit during the summer, especially the water park.
The wrist things for the lockers was a bit confusing to figure out, but besides that we had a great time.

A very nice amusement park and water park. Very family friendly. They had designated smoking areas. And you can't even smell the cigarette smoke. I enjoyed my first day there, cant wait till tommorrow

First time and it was overwhelming but so much fun! A little larger (spread out) than I'm used to. I mostly stayed on the water park side. TWO wave pools, TWO lazy rivers, I tried a few water slides. Locker rentals are super easy to get into as they are wristband activated (no keys or codes to keep up with). Only thing I didn't like was if you get a locker in the waterpark, you will be far away from the theme park when you are ready to leave you'll need to either buy another locker rental closer or leave your things behind and come back to waterpark area before you leave.

I love that they have a water park AND an amusement park in 1!! Cant wait to go for HalloScream!!!

The roller coasters aren't good enough for people who like roller coasters and there aren't very many rides for people who don't like roller coasters. The water park is much better than it used to be and the fact that they have free sunscreen is incredible.

Place is going to get dirty, but when the heat is on that place just feels filthy. It is fun for the children. Just dirty.

While the rides where fun my wallet got stolen and security didn't do anything

Back in Cincinnati we have Coney Island and Kings Island, Kentucky Kingdom is like if they both got together had a baby. I loved the mix of adult and kid fun truly felt like it doesn't matter how old you are and I know it can be difficult to find that but they nailed it.

Had to listen to some foul mouthed parents while we waited in line.

This is a great place to definitely bring your family the whole family or other. You will have a blast not alot of long lines and great fun times

Yup, the lines were pretty long to get in. But it was worth it.

Social distancing only applies in one ride line lol. Employees don't wear their masks properly. Nothing is wiped down after people use it. No gloves in food service.

This was amazing, gotta come here! The rides were so much fun, and joy.

They ve always got rides that are shut down due to staff shortage don t waste your money on a pass

You can find almost whatever you want here for fun. For kids and adults.

this place has gotten better. i remember ol girl who got her legs chopped off on the hellavator, pshhh they will never live that down

Free drinks, good value. Not the cleanest, but enjoyable. Good drop slide.

First tine going to Kentucky Kingdom and it was fun but that wooden roller coaster jacked my neck up, I swear I got whiplash. Lmao and also the best looking rides were closed. The roller skate roller coaster was sketch. A manager was looking at the ride like something was wrong with it, and apparently still let parents and kids ride on it. Skip that!! Lol so we got outta line and rode something else! We wasnt about that Final Destination Life. Lol Other than that, the lines were short, no long waits, free drinks all day bc of the special out of state visitors offer. Really good bc it was hot as all damn outside. THANKS GUYS!

What's not to like about an amusement park where the lines at the rides are practically non-existent?

absolutely love this place amazing place for family time

Had a great 2 day visit with the out of state $30 special. Grounds clean and well kept. Has a water park feel but has 4 good coasters and several other classic rides. Great for the whole family. Giant waves in wave pool every 2 hours was awesome.

Was an amazing weekend. Staff was very courteous. Well be buying a seasons pass.

I got my pass took because I had a water cup and did not know what it was because the employee was just standing there and he saw he get a soft drink and did not say anything and the staff said the i was stealing but I did not know and then took my pass for no reason but it is ok just saying.......

Me and my wife were kicked out of the park today. Because I was wearing a wrist strap mount with my GoPro 4 session. Before I went to the ride I asked one of the employees if it was ok to have this and he said yeah it's fine. After that security came and kicked us out. We didn't get any warning or anything.

Our family enjoyed the park. . It rained on us for about an hour, the staff were very professional and and had the rides back up in no time. . I recommend buying single day tickets at Kroger. . Saved $100.

Went there for first time. I couldn't enjoy much with a baby. what I really disappointed is I was very excited with ride 5D cinema but since I had a baby I had to sit on chair where it doesn't move at all...
Oh and I don't see any changing room for pool... so I had to change in bathroom which was nasty... locker was $11 or something like that. Ridiculously high price. Over all I do like it but I don't think I will come back.

Have had a lot of order mix ups in the past but they always fix it. Miranda is a very friendly and professional young lady. Ashley and Brandon also stand out as very friendly and professional. I hope they all get commended for their professionalism and personable attitudes.

June 28th 2019, I could ve died on your Kentucky Flyer. It was the worst roller coaster I ve ever been on. The 5D theater was better than KF and not to mention longer! Onto how I could ve died.. I went on with my brother - I was definitely within the weight limit but I do have thick thighs and the restraint barely fit. It was down and didn t budge but it didn t make me feel safe. When the teen girl, yes TEEN GIRL, came to check she got worried which made me worried but she got worried enough to check the handbook. I told her I could get off but she said it was fine and came over to push down one more time. That s not all! She started talking to the other TEEN GIRL working with her and wanted her to check the handbook, which she did. I really then wanted to get off but they reassured me it was fine but I didn t feel fine. They started the ride and I held on to my seat for dear life and I wasn t able to enjoy the ride :( . If I knew I was too big for it I wouldnt have got on it and if I was to die my blood would be on KK&HB and on those girls hands for bad safety measures. Which goes onto saying CORRECT THE WEIGHT LIMIT and tell the employees to not convince a customer theyre okay to ride especially if they second guess themselves. If I was safe why d she check me 5 times and have her and her coworker look at the safety rules. The ride wasn t just bad because of that... it was too short. It felt less than a minute long. I ve been here now twice and it s fine but the safety regulations could be better and you could hire someone who knows what they re doing.

Not kid friendly!!!!!!!! If you have a young child just don't bother buying a season pass and spend a family day somewhere else........Went there today to get me and boyfriends season passes made which we bought before the price went to $100 at Kroger we asked the age limit that our daughter was 3 and very short and small for her age I asked what's the age limit they said 3. So I didn't get on for her one because she is 3 and u can clearly see she is too small to ride anything so June 7th 2016 we get up as a family me my boyfriend my son my daughter who is 3 get there excited to go and after waiting in the line for 45 min we finally get to part where we get our passes made. So we are excited my daughter my son my boyfriend then the person at the counter very rude says you know it's 2 and under that is free so you will either have to buy a day pass or a season pass for her. I said baffled what is she gonna ride I've already bought ours? Can I get a refund then on ours we can't come without her they said no so I said She is very short for her age she is small the only thing she would have been doing in the park is swimming with me. I said this laughing like she can't even ride any rides since we couldn't get a refund on our tickets we had to go ahead and buy another season pass for my 3 year old who won't ever even get 100 worth of fun out of it. She can't ride rides so I just to paid $100 for her to swim I guess I am just upset by how rude the guy was and that if I was told this by their sponsors that it was 2 and under I could have saved me money and never bought any passes. It was like I was forced into buying the pass for my daughter because I couldn't get a refund and my son already had his me and my boyfriend already had ours and we couldn't get a refund and I can't get a sitter everytime I want to plan a family day with my family to go to Kentucky kingdom there was just no other way then to just buy the $100 ticket which i could of got the day before for $60 if someone told me the right detail rude staff and the fact I just paid $100 for a 3 year old to enter a park she will prob never get any use out of. Not all 3 year olds are tall enough and I tried today she needed me to ride since I'm thicker then the seats and she is too short to ride by herself we just went swimming seen a lot of young kids throwing up gang signs and wearing rip t shirts cussing and acting a fool. I knew the food was gonna be crazy expensive so I liked the fact the drinks was $1 and free sun screen I just hope the staff gets friendly and they get rid of the rude teenagers that seem to be everywhere destroying the park. But everything else was great for my boyfriend and my son who rode rides and was able to do everything so just make sure your kid is the right height at 3 and that they like sitting and swimming all day and being away from other family members as they ride rides and seeing little kids ride rides you can't. It sucks. It's not very young kid friendly.

RESPONDING TO YOUR POST: I was at guest services they was rude very rude I couldn't get a refund I trusted that Kroger who is connected to you guys would give me the right info.so I did something I never do and didn't check facts first wish I would have because I would have saved me 240 bucks all together and not got 3 passes.my daughter is very small for her age so please tell me when we tried to ride every ride there how we are getting a value out of her season pass when she can't ride any of them?? I felt like I had to buy hers since you would not give me a refund for the one I got because I can't go without her so there was nothing we could do. And I'm sorry it's not very kid friendly. To me they focus on teenagers and 20 something adults. Look I'm just saying just because you have a very small kids area and I mean very small. You can't say your kid friendly.My daughter just turned 3 June 5th she is small.I will be back but I have to hire a sitter now when I do come thanks again for another problem.

great place for family fun! bathrooms are kinda gross but everything else was clean and exciting. kids love the water-park!!!!!!

First day was ok. Staff on the rides were really slow could have been faster.2Nd day while riding T3 1 of the dam wheels fall of the coaster. Family was to scared to ride anything else and we left!

Best family fun ever! We are seriouly lucky to have a amusement park in Louisville! They are always on top of their game there. Watching out for guest is their top priority! Young people will not misbehave on their watch, because they will REVOKE their pass without hesitation!

Nice family friendly environment! Season Pass is a great deal!
