ANDY E CRAWFORD GREENFIELD, IN 1 Review Verified Traveler "Family fun" July 2024 If you want a day filled with fun for the whole family, you've found it here! Nice water park, lots of smaller rides for younger children as well! The roller coasters are decent. The raging rapid ride could use some more water features, but I still really enjoyed that!

Britany Vaulx Dirl Mount Juliet, TN 1 Review Verified Traveler "Great Deal!" July 2024 I was taking my 4 kids to Kentucky Kingdom and I’m on a budget so the tickets were pretty high. I started googling coupons and ended up finding tripster. I was nervous at first because I thought it was a scam, but I saw some good reviews and gave it a chance. I literally saved $10 per ticket and an overall $50 through tripster. I received my tickets immediately via email. Definitely will be using this from now on when I’m trying to purchases tickets! My kids and I had a blast at Kentucky Kingdom. We rode several rides and all the water rides. Looking forward to going back next year. Read More
