Kings Island sells daily tickets, season passes and memberships for its 364-acre amusement and water park near Cincinnati, Ohio, open since 1972 and now part of Six Flags.
One rule matters before you look for a code: the military, veteran and first-responder ticket discounts can't be combined with other offers, sales included.
Kings Island mixes big roller coasters with family rides, live shows and seasonal events, and admission also covers Soak City, its water park, which has 36 water slides, two wave pools, rivers, lagoons and children's play zones. Younger guests have two PEANUTS-themed kids' areas, Camp Snoopy and Planet Snoopy, with more than 20 attractions between them, four of them roller coasters.
Each fall the park stages Halloween Haunt, with haunted mazes sold as a separate add-on, along with a daytime family celebration for younger visitors. Guests can also add Fast Lane access, parking, dining and cabana rentals, book nearby hotels or vacation packages, and plan a visit through the park's app, which sits alongside live video cams and a park blog.
