Kings Dominion: Rockin' rollercoasters and a waterpark

Kings Dominion deals are starting to flow!

Look below at "Single-Day Ticket Deals" to learn how to get tickets for as little as $34.99 including parking.

I have good news and bad news.

First, the bad news about the park. Over the last several years, the park has jacked up their single-day ticket fee. That means that a family of four could spend over $80 more than several years ago just to get in the gate.

Amusement parks are great, but jeez...who needs to spend full price?

That's why my discount ticket info is so crucial for you. 

My business is to save you money--which leads to the good news...See my past discount ticket finds below:

Admission prices, plus how to save
up to $35 per ticket

Here are the regular (non-discounted) at-the-door ticket prices:

- Single-day Ticket: $70 (ages 3+ AND 48" and up)

CRUCIAL TIP: If possible, always buy tickets in advance online, and you'll save money. In the pre-season, you save a bundle, like with this deal:

One thing to consider...

First, you'll have to decide if you want a single-day ticket or a season pass. I have discount secrets for both. Kings Dominion offers a variety of season passes which are actually pretty good deals, especially if you buy four or more tickets.

Unfortunately, only the Gold and Platinum passes give you free parking. Buy the regular season pass and you'll have to pay for daily parking. And at $20 a pop, that can add up if you go multiple times, just like at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.)

Hours, Park Events, Meal Deals, & Dinosaurs Alive!

Latest New Attraction

"Twisted Timbers" is the name of the park's latest ride, which combines wood and steel to create a unique ride consisting of these thrills:

• 109 foot barrel roll drop
• 2 additional inversions
• 20 airtime hills
• speeds exceeding 54 miles per hour

Upcoming Park Events

Want to know what concerts and special events are happening at the park, like "Nights of Fire," KingsFest, Joyfest, and Halloween Haunt? Go to my Kings Dominion Events page. Note that last year, for the first time ever, the park offered Winterfest, a holiday-themed winter event similar to Busch Gardens Christmas Town.

Dining Deals

To help you save on food, Kings Dominion offers Meal Deals. One thing they offer is a Souvenir Bottle All-Season deal, which costs $29.99 and gives you free refills all season long.

Yes, it's a lot more expensive than the old deal, which was $11 per bottle. However, the old deal required you pay $1 for refills, so if you're a big soda drinker (or if you want to share one with the whole family) and you come multiple times, this may still be worth your while.

They also offer a dining plan:

• All Day Dining Plan - you can get an entree and a side every 90 minutes for $29.99
  

The meal plan can be redeemed at many places in the park and can be used anytime during the day for a single-day visit.

They also have two other options:

• Single Meal Dining Plan - you can get an entree and a side and drink for $15.99
• Two Day All-Day Dining Plan - you can get an entree and a side and drink for $49.98
• All Season Dining Deal - Get lunch and dinner all season long for as little as $95

Kids ages 1-10 who visit the Kings Dominion on their birthday can receive a special birthday package at no extra charge if you fill out a Snoopy's Birthday Buddy Club form at least one day before your visit. 

Fast Lane Passes

If you really want to maximize your time at the park, you may want to spring for a Fast Lane Pass or Fast Lane Plus Pass in addition to admission. These wristband passes let you bypass the long lines on a variety of rides, so you'll be able to pack more rides (and repeat rides) into your day. The number of Fast Lane passes are limited each day, so order them ahead of time online. You have two options:

Fast Lane Pass

Bypass the lines on 13 top rides (only exclusions are Intimidator and Volcano). There's no limit on the number of times you can bypass the lines in a day. Passes are available for as little as $50 each day.

Fast Lane Plus Pass

Bypass the lines on ALL rides (including Intimidator and Volcano). There's no limit on the number of times you can bypass the lines in a day. The park site says you can buy them for as little as $65 per day.

For either pass, visit the park website.
