My family went to Holiday in the Park Thanksgiving weekend! Best 2 days ever. We rented Jack frost Igloo. The price was VERY reasonable. David and his elves could not have been more accommodating. The characters walking through were made up to perfection. They were friendly and engaging! My Children loved the Ice skating! This will be a new family tradition!

I would personally like to be contacted by the CEO or President of this company ASAP. I will be reaching out personally myself over the next day or so. My experience tonight was horrible.

My family and I were supposed to visit Kings Dominion this week and had an unexpected death in the family and now are unable to travel. I spent over 300$ on these passes and need a refund.
I have emailed info@ kingsdominion.com and have not had a response.
Cooper says
I have a question. I was wondering what the minimum age a guest needs to be to visit the park alone(without a parent or guardian).
Linda Davis says
I have a problem – I have a mother who is 94 years old she rides no rides she is pushed around in a wheel chair. She loves to watch her great grand children ride the rides. I’ve bought season tickets for the kids and now here’s my problem why do I have to pay a Hugh amount for me to push a 94 year old women around in a wheel chair. Please get back with me. Linda Davis 757-536-XXXXX Thank You and you have a blessed day

My family and I went to your park (Kings Dominion in Doswell, VA) on July 20, 2017. We were highly disappointed when walking through your park finding that at least half the adult rides were out of order, not to mention they were the best adult rides! We traveled 3.5 hours and paid for 2 hotels rooms to be able to enjoy your park. We weren’t able to do so because the best adult rides weren’t in working order. I have tried contacting someone about this matter several times since (by emails and voicemails) and haven’t yet heard from anyone. If we knew these rides weren’t working, we wouldn’t have visited your park on that particular day. I feel like it was a bait and switch scam given to my family and me. I would like to have a refund given to my family of 4 and perhaps some tickets for when your adult rides are in working order. Note: if it was posted at your entrance gate about the rides not being in working order, my family and I wouldn’t have entered your park that day. I would greatly appreciate someone getting back with me on matter.

We had the same experience and after we saw that half the rides were down ( and the employees that were working throughout the park were extremely RUDE), we went to the sales information window and the guy gave us four tickets to come back but he didn’t bother to tell us that they were only for the rest of the season, which was only another week!!! My husband called up there today to see if we could use those tickets for this Friday and they told us NO!!! No one at the time that we got those tickets told us that we could only use them within the week because they were making us think we could come back at any time and use those tickets! We are furious to say the least and we are going to look into this matter! Totally ridiculous and non-professional!!!

Was there on Friday having a great time with the family till I had an object fall on my leg in one of there restaurants my entire left calf swelled up. As soon as they saw me hurt they came to assist but once we started taking pictures and getting the whole story about the object having 2-3 work orders to fix it and never got fixed. Did my report. Haven’t heard back from kings dominion. Maybe if my lawyer calls them maybe they would check up on there customers and not worry about there profits. Lost me and my entire family’s business just wrong. I will be taking legal action against kings dominion

I took my family to your park on July 19th 2017. We came early to avoid the line for your rollar coasters. Our family has chosen Kings Dominion ove Six Flags. But this day did turn out like we expected. I am in the Army fornover 15 years and was trying to spend time with my family and have a good time at your park. When we arrived we waited in line for the first rollar coaster. It broke down the dominator was shut down. The went walked to several of your rollar coasters and none of them were operating. We drove over two hours and were very disappointed. We did receive a refund but I was requesting a one day pass so we can come back another day when the rollar coasters were operating. The guest services treated us rude and my handicap wife was escorted to turn in the chair she rented like we were criminals. I am so disappointed and will not recommend this park to conworkers family members or friends. You have lost my business!!!

I have bought gold season passes every year for over five years now for my family and I. This year I decided to add a dining plan to my oldest child’s pass, we had one meal today at1:25 and no I did not remember the exact minute I checked out. When trying to get our second meal, we had something made to order and went to ring up and they said sorry no you have 25 minutes until you can have you next meal since you have to wait 4 hours in between. They threw my food away in front of me and every one else present in the restaurant. Totally embarrassing and made my son cry. I would think twice about getting any additional add ons to my pass again. I understand rules, but this was distasteful.

I purchased kings dominion season passes with the payments and my car broke down and is gonna cost me 1900$.. so I called to ask if I could have them cancelled because 1. I could no longer go and 2. I can’t afford it now the lady on the phone got really rude with me and said if your car was going to break down why would you purchase passes????? How am I supposed to know that it would ? And I said are you really getti.g rude with a customer and she said I’m just being honest ..like wow so I tryed to contact cedar fair who owns it’s I left a voicemail with my info over a month ago and nothing .. I also have her recorded on speaker phone ! And I am going to most likely post it on Facebook to show how they treated me !

Due to my daughter having two unusual seizures, we were afraid to attend an event such as an amusement park until we kept her under close eye while having tests ran. We never had a chance to make it in to the park last year and so I was told in December to call back in January and request a roll over. I called back in January and the gentleman that I spoke with told me that he would email that information to me, which he never did. The following week, trying to give the benefit of the doubt, I contacted again to let them know that I had not received the form. The lady that I spoke with emailed them within the hour to me. I immediately did as they requested, printed off the e-tickets and mailed them in with the completed forms, minus my bank account information (I am not sending this information on a piece of paper, sorry- not this day in time) but I did write a statement to call me for the information. I was angry however because no one- throughout this entire process of phone calls- mentioned once to me that they would charge a fee PER ticket, that was never used!!!!! I sent the information in January and have yet to get a direct answer from anyone other than “they are processing the roll over requests and will get back with you by next week.” well, again it has reached “another next week” and no one has yet to contact me in regards. The last lady that I spoke with, I mentioned that I was concerned that I would not receive my tickets in time for the opening night the Friday before actual opening day and she reassured me that I would receive them prior to that date. Well, I have also been told that the tickets have to be mailed to me, they can not be emailed to me as they were when we ordered them online last April. I work for corporate America and had a sales person come In to sit down with me in reference to possibly building a relationship with them however, if you cant provide customer service for my family, how would it be for a corporation? Today, I attempted once more to contact someone to get answers and was transferred to I believe his name was Jason and got voicemail. I am really disappointed in your company as this was not the first year that we had purchased our season passes before. We are regular season pass holders and to see that this is the type of “customer service” you receive when facing life issues, it does not give a good name for your company.

I recently purchased tickets for my friend and I, and was very excited to visit the park. I purchased it at the end of September not knowing that Hurricane Matthew would have passed through. It is not my fault what the weather decides to do and im very upset that you would not give a refund or at least give someone a chance to go another day. Those tickets arent that cheap and its understandable you have to pay for things but this isnt right. Thats money that ive work hard for and you shouldnt treat people that way. Thats very unjust and not very good but what you do to people will come back to you. Just letting you know
