Experience the Magic of Christmas at Kentucky Kingdom

Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville invites visitors to celebrate the holiday season with its first-ever “Christmas at Kentucky Kingdom” event. From November 29, 2024, to January 4, 2025, the park transforms into a dazzling winter wonderland featuring over 1.5 million twinkling lights, more than 300 Christmas trees, and an array of festive attractions.

Snow Zone: Kentucky’s Winter Playground

The Snow Zone is one of the event’s highlights, offering a 175-foot-long snow tubing hill—the largest in Kentucky. Families can enjoy making snowmen, creating snow angels, and roasting s’mores around cozy fire pits.

Santa’s Village and Light Displays

Santa’s Village brings the magic of the North Pole to life, with opportunities to meet Santa Claus himself. A stunning 60-foot illuminated light tunnel guides visitors through the park, making for perfect holiday photo opportunities.
