Kings Island has ramped up their fall cuisine, Halloween shows, main stage costume contest and trick or treat trail! Skip the haunt on Sundays as the spooky actors rest up for the following weekend, allowing a scare-free day for our younger goblins.
Tricks and Treats Fall Fest kicks off September 24-October 29 on Saturdays and Sundays!
Food
Bring a monster-sized appetite for boo-licious food! Throughout the park, you’ll find gotta-have-it park favorites and lots of traditional goodies with a Halloween twist.
We’re also brewing up tasty craft beer, ciders and specialty potions you can order without alcohol or “bewitched” with a nip of spirits.
Trick or Treating
Trick or treat stations encourage the kiddos to dress up in their costumes as they follow the map around the park collecting candy and treats. Several stations fill bags with candy, stickers, tattoos, vampire teeth and even a pumpkin! Find pumpkin row nearby Backlot Stunt Coaster for fun, colorful photo ops and to snag your mini pumpkin. Bags provided by the park.
Trick-or-Treat is the center of any Halloween event, and with 10 designated Trick-or-Treating spots throughout the park, kids will receive individually packaged tasty treats with perhaps some fun tricks thrown in.
Rides
Your kiddo’s favorite rides are still in operation as October brings us prime riding weather. Pass holders may arrive 30 minutes early (10:30a) to hop on the Great Pumpkin Coaster or be one of the first in line for Flying Ace Aerial Chase, Surf Dog or Woodstock Express opening at 11 am.
Tricks and Treats Fall Fest offers all the playful fun of a traditional fall festival with the extra-special AMAZING you’ll only find at Kings Island. Have a fang-tastic time with fall-themed games, dance party, kiddie tractor rides, crafts and more. Plus, your favorite rides will be open for the thrills and chills you crave!
Trick or treating begins at 11a-6p on Saturday and Sunday.
Shows
Take a break at one of the many shows throughout the park. Witches bring laughter as they try out a spooky recipe, peanuts characters giggle away monsters and seven houses peruse the crowd at the main stage looking for costume wearers. Every hour, bring your kiddo down to the Eiffel Tower for a fun stage appearance. Each child receives a souvenir button for strutting their costume on stage; work on those poses now!
Costumes
We invite children 12-and-under to dress up as their favorite monster, character or adorable little creature. Our Costume Council will be searching for new members to join their “houses” as they gather their teams for the big costume contest! Don’t have a costume? No problem! The Costume Council can turn any look from drab to fab!
Haunt Weekends
Haunt weekends begin on Fridays with the super scary trails and haunted houses for the older teens. Tricks and Treats Fall Fest opens Saturdays and Sundays, make sure you’re out by 6 on Saturday before the actors come out to scare. For the kids that might be ready for a little more than the Fall Fest, “No Scare” glow necklaces are available.
Sunday is the best day for our toddlers and elementary age kids as the scaries stay away. HallowTween begins in the evening with early tween age activities and trails; less than the full blown Haunt but more than Tricks and Treats Fall Fest. Kings Island has every age covered for fun this fall! Halloween Haunt, Friday and Saturday 6 pm-midnight
