10 Fun Things for Non Riders to Do at Kings Island
You don’t have to be a fan of thrill rides to enjoy a visit to Kings Island Amusement Park. There are still plenty of entertainment options for non-riders of all ages.
How to Visit Kings Island with a Special Needs Guest
A conversation with my friend by the pool prompted my curiosity to learn more about what Kings Island Amusement Park offered for guests with special needs. I was sharing about a recent visit to the park and she was wondering if there were resources available for her son with Down Syndrome. This is an issue very close to my heart as someone who had a sibling with special needs and as someone with several friends who have children with special needs.
Why I Bought the All Season Dining Plan at Kings Island
My family LOVES amusement parks and we just happen to live close to Kings Island Amusement Park which means that we can have fun all summer long as a family. We’ve purchased the Gold Season Pass over the years to create memories together as a family. Purchasing a Gold Season Pass made us also face the decision again of whether we wanted to pay extra for the All Season Dining Plan. I’m sharing more about the dining perks so that you can determine if it’s the right option for you.
What You Need to Know About Winterfest at Kings Island
Winterfest is back at Kings Island Amusement Park. As someone who grew up in the Cincinnati metro, I have fond memories of attending Winterfest in the 80’s as a kid. Winterfest had some pretty big shoes to fill with its return as I compared it to my memories filled with the childhood nostalgia of ice skating on the fountain, carriage rides, and holiday shows.

Blaze Pizza
I tried Blaze Pizza for the 1st time a few weeks ago. Their closest Cincinnati location is not far from Kings Island, so we decided to check it out for dinner after a day at the park.
Blaze Pizza has a style similar to Chipotle.
You pick your pizza your way.
All of the toppings, sauces and dough are fresh and made in house.
You can add as many toppings as you want to your pizza for only $6.95. If you want a 1 topping pizza it’s $5.85 and a cheese and sauce only pizza is just $5.
There is a sign with signature pizza ideas that are really popular to give you a starting point.
There are other options if you have special dietary needs. For $2 more you can chose a gluten free crust and Vegan cheese is just $1 more.
The pizzas are cooked in a fast fired oven at 500 degrees which is why you pizza is ready in 3 minutes or less. Blaze Pizza does not deliver but you can order online for pickup.
I started with the BBQ CHKN signature pizza and added jalapenos to it.
My husband got a variation of the MEAT EATER signature pizza.
My older son ordered one with sausage and bacon.
My younger son got peperoni and bacon.
Make sure you try the Blood Orange Lemonade. You won’t look at regular lemonade the same.
If you have a sweet tooth you will love the s’mores.
They fired up to perfection.
We really enjoyed our first time dining experience at Blaze pizza and it definitely will not be our last! The prices are reasonable and the food is fast and tastes AMAZING!!!
You can find a Blaze pizza near you on their website.
Blaze Pizza Mason is located at 9341 S Mason Montgomery Rd, Mason, OH 45040.

Banshee – World’s Longest Inverted Roller Coaster at King’s Island
Cincinnati on a Date Adventure Package ~ Giveaway
I love getting gifts that are an experience. My husband knows that if he bought me jewelry or a stuffed animal, he would be in big trouble because I would rather spend that money on a shared adventure together.
Since Valentine’s Day is coming up, I’ve got a great way for you to share an experience with someone special in your life with an AWESOME Cincinnati Adventure Themed Giveaway.
This is a combination of two Cincinnati icons- Skyline Chili and Kings Island Amusement Park.
When we lived out of town, my parents would bring cans of Skyline chili to us when they visited so that we could still have our favorite chili no matter how far away we lived. We LOVE this Cincinnati staple! You can’t go wrong with mounds of cheese and oyster crackers on top of incredible chili!
Kings Island is an amusement park that I have soooo many great memories from. I went with my parents as a kid, my friends as a teenager, my husband (pre kids) and now I share memories at Kings Island with my whole family.
I’m really looking forward to riding the newest thrill ride that will debut on April 18th at Kings Island. Banshee will be the world’s longest inverted roller coaster. Here is a peak at what riders will experience.
Even if you are not into thrill rides, there are still plenty of other rides and attractions at Kings Island. As the weather heats up, we can also look forward to the relaxing water park this summer. My kids also love checking out the rides at Planet Snoopy.
I’ve been given
a $25 gift card to Skyline
AND
2 ticket vouchers to Kings Island
to give one lucky winner a great adventure to be shared.
You can use your Skyline gift card when you visit Kings Island or even sooner if you have a craving.
