Pumpkins at Kentucky Kingdom: Your New Halloween Tradition!

Kentucky Kingdom is a theme park with attractions for kids of all ages. From bumper cars to river rapids, there’s a variety of rides your family will enjoy. But one of the best experiences at this amusement park is during the fall — particularly around Halloween, and this year, Pumpkins at Kentucky Kingdom makes its debut.

This event is specifically designed for families and doesn’t include some of the scarier events that other Halloween-themed events often have. If you’re looking for fun that’s even appropriate for little ones, here are the events that you won’t want to miss.

When is Pumpkins at Kentucky Kingdom?

This Halloween event takes place during weekends in October, during the day and night. In order to attend, you need a Season Pass to Kentucky Kingdom.
