Kings Dominion Hours for 2018



Look below for Kings Dominion hours, Halloween Haunt info, and discount ticket deals!

The park opens the end of March. After that, it's open weekends until it opens continuously starting the end of May. It remains open daily through the first weekend in September, plus select dates in September.

At that point, the water park Soak City closes for the season and the main park closes a few weeks to get ready for Halloween Haunt.

This Halloween-themed event, which is open weekends the end of September to the end of Oct. Closing times do vary, so to be on the safe side, check out the full schedule below.

New for 2018: For the first time ever, the park will offer a holiday-themed event for November and December called Winterfest. Not many details available yet, but expect it to be similar to Busch Gardens' Christmas Town.

Then, keep reading for links for single-day discount tickets (including the Everybody Pays Kids Price and Preschool Pass deals), promo codes, season pass info, the events schedule, and information on Halloween Haunt.
