Halloween is quickly approaching, and that means that it will soon be time for the Great Pumpkin Fest at Kings Island theme park in the Cincinnati area!
This family friendly Halloween event takes place on Saturdays and Sundays at the theme park from September 20th through October 27th and is included in your admission (you can purchase discounted admission through Tripster).
If you take your kid to this event they will have a blast – just consider these ten reasons why the Great Pumpkin Fest at Kings Island is a must-visit:
1. Trick-or-Treating
