Get out in nature with the family, experience thrills and chills at Kings Island, get down at outdoor concerts, celebrate fall’s perfect fruit, and enjoy all-you-can-eat pizza at these upcoming events in Greater Cincinnati.
Halloween Fun at Kings Island
Kings Island transforms into the amusement park of your nightmares just in time for spooky season during Halloween Haunt. Rides and roller coasters won’t be the only thrills—check out the park’s scare mazes, scare zones, and terrifying creatures skulking in the shadows. Haunt is intended for mature audiences, so find fun for the young ones at KI’s Tricks and Treats Fest, featuring food, fall activities, live entertainment, and plenty of spots to trick-or-treat. For kids too old for Tricks and Treats but still too young for Haunt, check out HalloTween, offering fun attractions with the right amount of thrills (and without gruesome characters).
Sept 24–Oct 31, Kings Island, 6300 Kings Island Dr., Mason
