1) Safety is being taken seriously
Everyone who enters the grounds is temperature checked and face masks are required. With spacious grounds, it is easy to practice social distancing throughout the park.
2) Trick or treating is encouraged
Trick-or-treating is the center of any Halloween and one of the activities at Tricks And Treats Fall Fest, so wear your Halloween costumes and go candy hunting at designated trick-or-treating spots throughout the park where kids will receive individually packaged tasty treats.
3) The decor will get you in the spirit
The park is completely decked out in spooky fall décor prepared by Kings Island’s entertainment team. From pumpkins to giant skeletons to surprise spiders, it’s a fun place to wander around and soak in and enjoy the visuals.
4) Wear your costume
The park invites everyone from babies and tots to tweens and adults to wear their Halloween best and join in one of their many costume contests. Don’t have a costume? Snag a Halloween-themed face mask or get a Monster Makeover. Decorate your own pumpkin and watch as talented pumpkin artisans decorate incredible masterpieces.
5) Entertainment is on the menu
A fang-tastic time is in store with fall-themed family and adults-only game shows, dance parties, corn and hay mazes, a QR quest, a challenge course, pint-sized tractor rides, craft making and much more. Rides like the Orion and The Beast roller coasters will be open to deliver the thrills and chills the park has become known for.
