Kentucky Kingdom is this region's second amusement park to launch a holiday-themed event.

WINTERFEST 2024 AT KINGS ISLAND

Kings Island, just north of Cincinnati, Ohio, has hosted its popular WinterFest for years. That particular event gives theme park lovers the chance to experience Kings Island during the holiday season- the lights, the trees, the rides, the thrills and chills. Some of the park's most popular rides, including some of its coasters, are operational during WinterFest.

In addition to the Christmas lights and holiday decorations around the park, Christmas at Kentucky Kingdom is also home to the LARGEST snow tubing hill in the Commonwealth.  If you're feeling frisky and brave, you can tube down a 175-foot long hill covered in real snow.

Of course, no Christmas celebration is complete without the chance to visit Santa Claus.
