Kings Island, OH
Just northeast of Cincinnati is the Kings Island recreation area, including and centering upon Paramount’s Kings Island itself. This amusement park rivals the Disney operations in Florida and California. You know you’re almost there when you see in the distance the park’s one-third scale version of the Eiffel Tower rising 330 feet above the plain. Today the 1,600-acre complex consists of several major parts. A left on Kings Mills Road takes you first to The Beach, a thirty-five-acre water park, and then to the Golf Center at Kings Island, a championship golf center. A right onto Kings Mills Road takes you to Kings Island Drive, then another right turn takes you to Kings Island Resort and Conference Center, the Paramount’s Kings Island Campground, and finally the sprawling, 350-acre amusement park itself. This eTrail from the Daytrips series describes many fascinating, exciting, (and many free of charge) things to do, most within a two-hour drive of Cincinnati. Each Day Trip includes destination highlights, places to visit along the way, choice restaurants and lodging, and shopping.
