Three Events, One Ticket
This year, Kings Dominion has made it easier than ever to enjoy all the fall festivities. New in 2024, Halloween Haunt is no longer a separately ticketed event! Guests attending the daytime Tricks and Treats and Oktoberfest activities can seamlessly transition into a fright-filled night with Haunt, without leaving the park. Please note, that Haunt is recommended for guests aged 13 and up due to the event's intensity.
