Some helpful hints to help plan your day

Best time to visit Kings Dominion

Weekdays during the summer, weekends in the spring and Sundays in the fall are typically the days to visit Kings Dominion when crowds are the lightest.
 

Don't forget to bring ...

WaterWorks is included FREE with park admission to Kings Dominion. Don't forget to bring appropriate swimwear so you can splish, splash and laugh on all of the water activities in WaterWorks, including fun and thrilling water slides and a massive 650,000-gallon wave pool.
 

The best deals on tickets are online

The best deals on Kings Dominion tickets are online. You will save big off the regular front gate price when you buy your tickets in advance online.

Shoes and clothing

Wear comfortable, broken in shoes. Wear cotton clothing; it is light and dries quicker on water rides such as the Shenandoah Lumber Company and Water Water Canyon. And, you may want to bring an extra pair of dry socks.

Meal times
Plan your meals for non-traditional times for lunch and dinner. This will save you time
Line tips
The wait for the Intimidator 305 and Dominator roller coasters are usually longer in the morning than during the afternoon or early evening hours. We recommend that you take advantage of the shorter times on the park's other world-class rides and attractions during the AM hours.
Character meet and greets
Located in Planet Snoopy throughout the day and occasionally at the Front Gate are your favorite PEANUTS characters. Have your camera ready to snap a photo of your favorite pals from PEANUTS TV shows and comic strips.
Drink plenty of fluids
Virginia is known for its warm summers.  Drink fluids throughout the day to stay hydrated
Wear sunscreen
Wear sunscreen, and reapply it throughout the day. Little ones are especially susceptible to the sun.
Designated smoking areas
As we strive to accommodate all of our guests, designated smoking areas have been established throughout Kings Dominion. Please refer to our Park Guide & Map for specific locations. Smoking is not permitted in any theater, ride or waiting area, and any in-door or out-door restaurant. Thank you for your cooperation.
Special dietary needs
Although food and beverages are not allowed to be brought into the park, individuals who have special diets or need items due to a medical condition are asked to visit Guest Services located at the Front Gate for accommodation.
