While Kings Dominion is at its best in summer when all the rides and the water park are open, it's still a year-round destination, with numerous seasonal events on tap. If you love a good scare, don't miss the Halloween Haunt in October, and get in the holiday spirit with the WinterFest celebration. To avoid the typical weekend crowds in summer, visit on a weekday.
The Peanuts-themed play area, Planet Snoopy, is just right for families with young children. Pint-sized guests at Kings Dominion can enjoy a thrilling time on rides designed just for them, from kid-sized roller coasters to sky-high rides such as the Flying Ace and Linus Launcher. Beyond rides, enjoy a stage show at the Peanuts Playhouse, and keep your ears open for the roaming Clown Band's quirky tunes.
