1 / 3Kings Island
📍 Mason, OH
Kings Island spans 364 acres near Cincinnati with coasters including Orion and The Beast, a 20-ride Planet Snoopy kids area, and Soak City water park with 36 slides and two wave pools — all included with admission.
Lots of memories of the coaster ride since a kid and now my first date.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids spanning a wide age range. Planet Snoopy keeps toddlers and young kids fully occupied with age-appropriate rides and shows, as Orion and Diamondback satisfy thrill-seeking older kids and parents. Soak City extends a full-day visit comfortably in warm weather.

“Didn't really notice much of a difference since six flags took over. The music has changed.”
Devin Hess
“The only good adult rides kings island has is, Orion, and diamond back, honestly it’s not worth the drive for 2 rides. Both of those rides are absolutely amazing but 3 hour drive for 2 rides it’s a hard pass. They need more adult rides.”
