Kings Island announced this morning that it has teamed up with the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum and will open a new restaurant at the 364-acre amusement and water park this spring.

The Reds Hall of Fame Grille is scheduled to open on April 27 in conjunction with the start of Kings Island’s 2013 season. The full-service restaurant will feature authentic Reds memorabilia, framed jerseys and photos, and other bits of history dating back to the 1800s, Kings Island officials said in a news release.

The 11,922-square-foot restaurant will include a 8,797-square-foot dining area, according to Don Helbig, spokesman for Kings Island.

Upon entering the restaurant, visitors will see Hall of Fame plaques displayed for each of the 75 players, the three managers and three executives inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame. More than 20 televisions will spotlight the history of the Reds and the players through video highlight reels from World Series, playoff and other games. Visitors will also be able to watch the Reds games on TV and order, purchase and print tickets to games at Great American Ball Park at a ticket kiosk.

The menu at the Reds Hall of Fame Grille will include burgers, chicken wings, Montgomery Inn pulled pork, baby back ribs, wraps, appetizers, salads, desserts, draft beer and wine.

“The Reds Hall of Fame Grille will be a paradise for baseball fans and will allow guests the opportunity to sample the rich history of the Reds during their visit to the park,” said Greg Scheid, Kings Island’s vice-president and general manager. “Guests will be also able to enjoy dining on a new patio overlooking a spectacular view of Diamondback.”

Gold and platinum season passholders and Reds Hall of Fame members will receive added benefits as a result of this partnership, Scheid said.
