New Year, New Memories: Why a 2026 Season Pass to Kentucky Kingdom Is the Smartest Family Investment


January 04, 2026

There’s nothing quite like a place that brings generations together. From thrill-seekers to first-time riders, Kentucky Kingdom creates moments worth returning to all year long. A 2026 Season Pass is your ticket to a full year and affordable entertainment the whole family can enjoy. Whether you're a thrill-seeking teen, a family with littles, or a grandparent looking to spoil the grandkids, a 2026 Season Pass is a must-have this year.

It’s Not Just a Pass, It’s a Year of Possibilities

Think of your Season Pass like a fun savings account. Every visit becomes more valuable as you go. For the cost of a single weekend trip elsewhere, your family gets access to an entire year’s worth of roller coasters, water slides and attractions, character meet-and-greets, glowing festivals, seasonal snacks, and priceless moments.

Starting at just $69.99, or as low as $11.67/month, the pass practically pays for itself after two visits, and if you’re a local or even within a few hours’ drive, it becomes your go-to plan for spring breaks, summer Saturdays, fall fun, and winter holidays.

More Than Just Rides: It’s Unlimited Access to 4 Seasons of Fun

With a Season Pass, you don’t have to pick and choose your visits. You're first in line and welcome all year, with unlimited access to:

Without a pass, visiting just a couple of these events would cost more than the full pass itself, making it the best bang for your buck.

Introducing Flying Fox: A Ride You’ll Want to Experience Again (and Again)

Coming in 2026, the brand-new Flying Fox family coaster is already generating buzz as a one-of-a-kind, must-ride attraction. With thrilling dips, dives, and storytelling that celebrates the history of cropdusting, Flying Fox is designed for riders of all ages, from curious kids to coaster-loving adults.

Season Passholders won’t just ride it, they’ll ride it as many times as they want. Want to hop back in line right after you land? Go for it. Want to come back next weekend to beat your personal scream record? No problem. This is where a pass becomes a brag-worthy investment.

Built-In Budget Friendliness (Because You Have Enough to Worry About)

Families are planning budgets right now, and Kentucky Kingdoms monthly payment plan makes this investment easy. For the cost of two movie tickets, you can pay off your Season Pass in simple installments. It’s like treating your family to joy without the guilt of a big one-time expense.

Plus, there’s no need to stress over fluctuating admission prices, holiday upcharges, or special event tickets. With your pass, you’re covered.
