Located in Doswell, Virginia, not far from the state’s capital city of Richmond and Washington, DC, the Kings Dominion amusement park has been thrilling visitors of all ages since May 1975. With 29 thrill rides, including 13 pulse-racing roller coasters, as well as a slew of family-friendly attractions perfect for kids and even a 20-acre water park, you’ll find no shortage of fun at this VA theme park in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic. In short, there’s no better place in VA for creating lifelong memories. Buckle up for adventure, and be sure to keep both arms and legs inside the ride vehicle at all times, as we explore everything Kings Dominion has to offer.
Kings Dominion Amusement Park & Water Park Overview
With more than 60 attractions spread across two parks and 400 acres, Kings Dominion and its attached Soak City water park offer something for parkgoers both young and old, from tiny tots or more timid guests to aspiring thrill-seekers or experienced adrenaline junkies and everyone in between. Add in a slate of seasonal special events that run off and on throughout the year, and you’ve got an amusement park that is just as exciting on the third or fourth (or tenth!) visit as it is the first time you go.
While not as intricately and immersively designed as theme parks like Walt Disney World or Universal Studios, Kings Dominion is broken up into six distinctive areas, each with its own theming. Right inside the front gate is International Street, which takes visitors for a whirlwind tour through Europe with buildings featuring traditional architectural elements from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, complete with a 1/3-scale Eiffel Tower replica. Here, you’ll find the bulk of the park’s merchandise outlets and restaurants, along with a couple of rides.
The next section you’ll come across is Old Virginia, which takes inspiration from the park’s idyllic Blue Ridge Mountains setting, featuring a rustic and vintage design filled with rough-hewn wood and down-home decor and six rides. Like International Street, Old Virginia is the last themed section of the park to have kept its same name throughout the park’s almost 50-year history. Right next door is Planet Snoopy, which, as you can probably guess from the name, is an animated world inspired by the beloved PEANUTs cartoon. Unsurprisingly the most kid-friendly part of the park, Planet Snoopy offers 20 different kid-friendly attractions, from pint=sized roller coasters to a mini drop tower.
Recently rethemed in time for the 2022 season, Jungle X-pedition is an adventurous area themed to resemble an archaeological site in the depths of a mysterious jungle, with seven rides and a few shops and restaurants. Located at the back of the amusement park is Candy Apple Grove, the largest land in Kings Dominion by size and home to 12 different rides. Except for a retro-ish corner inspired by the 1950s, the remainder of Candy Apple Grove is styled like an apple orchard.
Last but certainly not least is Soak City. The aquatic counterpart to Kings Dominion and the smaller of the two parks, Soak City is Kings Dominion’s 20-acre water park. Accessible from directly inside the theme park (for free!), it is also technically the sixth section of Kings Dominion. Here, you’ll find 13 watery attractions, from tube, raft and body slides to wave pools and a lazy river to aquatic play areas.
Going to Kings Dominion Theme Park & Soak City Water Park
Ready to plan your visit to Kings Dominion? Here are some things you need to know.
Kings Dominion Location & Parking
Located at 16000 Theme Park Way in Doswell, Virginia, Kings Dominion is only 20 miles to the north of Richmond, or roughly a 25-minute drive. It is also an easy day trip from Washington, DC, located approximately 86 miles south, or around an hour and 45 minutes to two hours away, depending on traffic. Regular parking costs $25 per vehicle, while preferred parking is $35. For those with a disability placard, a limited number of accessible spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis near the front gate.
Kings Dominion Hours
Amusement park fans, rejoice! Starting in 2023, Kings Dominion has finally become a year-round operation. Now, keep in mind that due to Virginia’s weather during the cooler months and the fact that it isn’t a tourist haven like Central Florida or Southern California, that doesn’t mean that Kings Dominion will have daily operations from January through December. Kings Dominion is only open daily from around Memorial Day through to Labor Day, running from around 11 AM until roughly 9 PM, give or take a couple of hours. Typically, the Soak City water park opens daily during this time, too, from roughly noon to 5 PM or 7 PM.
During spring, fall and winter, park operations slim down significantly, with open times restricted largely to one or both days on the weekends, except for select Friday evenings if there happens to be a seasonal event going on. Park hours can vary greatly on off-season days, and they are also much more limited. So, expect the park to be open anywhere from 11 AM to 5 PM strictly for the park and from roughly 5 or 6 PM until 10 PM or midnight during seasonal special events. Given that it isn’t unheard of for the park to randomly be closed one day, even in the thick of summer, we highly recommend that you check the schedule on either the website or the Kings Dominion app when planning your visit so that you don’t show up and get disappointed by a random closure.
Kings Dominion Tickets
Ready to book your visit to Kings Dominion? You’re in luck! There are several different park admission options available to suit your party’s needs, whether you’re only adding on a day to your trip to Washington, DC, or you’re a Northern VA local hoping for some season passes so you can go several times throughout the season.

Best of all, access is included in the price of both one-day park tickets and season passes.
For the little ones, be sure to head on over to Sand Dune Lagoon, a kiddie wave pool with interactive splash elements that maxes out at 36 inches deep and only one-foot waves. Lighthouse Landing, a multi-level water play area, is also geared toward kiddos and features eight approachable slides and two water-dumping buckets that are sure to get you drenched if you aren’t already. Meanwhile, Soak City spots like the Lazy Rider lazy river and Tidal Wave Bay are great places to cool off with the whole gang.
Of course, as this is Kings Dominion, there’s no shortage of Soak City rides that bring the thrills and chills (as this is a water park we’re talking about). Hurricane Heights has everything adrenaline junkies are looking for, including four stomach-churning 360-degree loops and a near-vertical freefall. Riders on Paradise Plunge, meanwhile, have the floor fall out from underneath them, while Pipeline Peak offers both tube and body slides that start from heights of 45 and 77 feet tall, respectively.
When you aren’t taking a trip down one of the water slides or body surfing in the wave pool, treat yourself and your crew to a private cabana. Outfitted with tables, loungers, and a food and beverage service, they’re a great way to kick back and relax for a while in between rides.
