We're Thankful For...

Kings Dominion |
November 18, 2023

We have plenty to be thankful for this year, including the hundreds of thousands of guests that have walked through our gate so far in 2023. 

Although the year isn’t over yet, as WinterFest is now open select nights through December 31, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on all that we’ve experienced this year and why we’re so thankful to call this park home. We looked to you through our social media channels and wanted to know why YOU are thankful for Kings Dominion. Here are just some of the answers we read, as well as the reasons we’re thankful for our beautiful park.
