The Lights and Decor

WinterFest shines—literally. The entire park is adorned with over five million lights, turning every corner into a picture-perfect holiday scene. The iconic Eiffel Tower replica greets you as you walk in, having been transformed into a 314-foot Christmas tree! It’s absolutely stunning. (We don’t see Paris France decorating like that…. just saying 😉)

For those who enjoy live entertainment, WinterFest features a lineup of holiday themed shows, including the classic “Charlie Brown’s Christmas Spectacular” and carolers spreading cheer throughout the park.

Our Top 5 Tips for Your Visit

Plan your night: Use the map and schedule to prioritize must-see shows and activities. There are so many wonderful experiences it’s easy to get a bit overwhelmed – in the best way possible.

Dress warmly: We can not stress this enough. Layers are your friend. Many activities for the event are outdoors, and Ohio winters are chilly! Think 30 degrees and below. You are not Elsa… the cold will bother you after a while. ❄️ BUT – there are hot chocolate stations throughout the park to help warm you up!

Arrive early: The park fills up quickly, and arriving early ensures you’ll have time to enjoy everything. Shout out to the Kings Island staff do a fantastic job of making sure the night runs smoothly!

Purchase tickets in advance: Save money by buying tickets online, and consider adding extras like the ice-skating experience. Regular tickets are $39.99 per person.

Kings Island’s WinterFest runs select nights November 29th – December 31st. Located in Mason OH, 24 miles outside of Cincinatti.
