LOUISVILLE'S FAMILY THEME & WATER PARK
Our History
Kentucky Kingdom has been a long-standing attraction for Louisville locals, Kentuckiana natives, and tourists alike. Originally opened in 1987 by the Kentucky State Fair Board, it began as a 13-acre, $12 million expansion to the grounds of the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center. Today, the park covers 67-acres and is both a theme and water park!
