My family and I had a blast at KidsFest this past weekend, and you still have a chance to check it out, too! We really enjoyed the Imagination Movers. They put on such a fun show! The Mad Science show was also a hit. Of course, seeing a fire truck up close always gets the kids excited. To see my full review of what Kings Dominion has to offer, please see my previous post here. Soak City is now open, which is really a park on it’s own. You can beat the heat with two parks for the price of one! If you are looking for something that is fun for all ages, Kings Dominion has it all. I have a 12, 10, and 4 year old, that all love the coming to this theme park. Your family will love what the park has to offer, come and see for yourselves!

MTM Signature

 I was provided with complimentary tickets to this park. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.
