My take: the park's own $24.99 date ticket beats Tripster. Tripster's only edge is free cancellations.– John
We didn't find a working public promo code. The online price drops on its own when you buy a day ahead.
Day tickets use the lowest "as low as $24.99" online price from 2026; many dates cost more and 2027 day prices aren't posted. Assumes one car at $15. Tax and payment plan fees not included.

Our pick: Gold if you'll go two or three times next summer. Diamond if you want Pumpkins this month too, since it's free with the pass.
Here's a park day for a family of four on a cheap date.
No outside food or drinks, except baby food and formula. Refillable water bottles are fine, and there are water stations around the park. This comes from Tripster's listing; we couldn't open the park's own policy page.
Wednesday to Sunday through Nov 1, with the Jack O' Lantern Spectacular trail and more than 30 rides running after dark. Tickets are as low as $24.99 online. Gold passholders get discounted tickets, and Diamond passholders get in free.
Nov 21, 2026 to Jan 2, 2027. Both 2027 passes include it.
The park sells hotel and ticket packages on its lodging site. We didn't price them.
Buy a day ahead online and you keep $45 the gate would have taken. That's a lot of funnel cake.– John
Never pay the $69.99 gate price. Buy online at least 24 hours ahead for as low as $24.99.
Going three times in 2027? The $89.99 Gold Pass beats three cheap-date visits with parking ($119.97).
Want Pumpkins this month? The $134.99 Diamond Pass gets you in free now and all of 2027.
Pay passes in full before Oct 31 to skip the $6 payment-plan fee.
Teachers, nurses, military and first responders can get day tickets as low as $18.99 through ID.me.
Not a public one. The online price, as low as $24.99 when you buy a day ahead, is the discount. Coupon site codes don't work.
$15 per car, charged by the Kentucky Exposition Center. Season passholders park free. There's no in-and-out, so leaving means paying again.
If you'll go three times, yes. The Gold Pass is $89.99 with parking. Three cheap-date visits cost $74.97 in tickets plus $45 in parking.
No. Gold admission starts Nov 21 with Christmas. Gold holders get discounted Pumpkins tickets. The Diamond Pass includes Pumpkins free.
Not now. The water park is closed for the rest of 2026 and reopens in spring 2027. It's included with park admission.
The park hasn't posted its 2027 dates yet. Christmas at Kentucky Kingdom runs Nov 21, 2026 to Jan 2, 2027.
See you at the Expo Center.– John & the ThemeParkCoupons crew
