Our brand-new roller coaster, Flying Fox, opens this year, and it’s unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Inspired by Kentucky’s agricultural roots and the daredevil spirit of aerial cropdusters, this high-flying attraction lets you join legendary pilot Jeb Fox on a training mission over rolling farmland.
The Louisville skyline shines bright with a fireworks show in the park. Guests can soak up the sun during the day and end their weekend nights with a spectacle in the sky as we light up the night with state-of the-art fireworks displays with a choreographed music track.
The largest family-held themed attractions company, Herschend, acquired the park and immediately assembled an investment course dedicated to the renewal and revitalization of Kentucky Kingdom. These initial plans, spanning over the coarse of a decade, promised to bring an expanded operating calendar, including new family-fun festivals, plus brand-new attractions that guests of all ages can enjoy.
We are in year 5 of making constant improvements to Louisville's Family Theme & Water Park!
Kentucky Kingdom has been a long-standing attraction for Louisville locals, Kentuckiana natives, and tourists alike. Originally opened in 1987 by the Kentucky State Fair Board, it began as a 13-acre, $12 million expansion to the grounds of the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center. Today, the park covers 67-acres and is both a theme and water park!
