Petal Palooza kicked off May 25th at Kentucky Kingdom and happens daily till June 30th. This is the first year for this festival at the Park. The Horticulture Department at Kentucky Kingdom also know as the Kentucky Kingdom Gardens team have really done a great job this Season with all the newly planted flowers and plants thus far. The Weather this Spring has really not been the best with rounds of heavy rain off and on, but that does not stop the Park from looking absolutely beautiful! 


The Horticulture Team has added a few different displays around the front side of the Park, which are part of the Petal Palooza festival. Below you can see a variety of these beautiful flower walls and displays. These also make the perfect photo opp for those photo fans! I myself even couldn't resist a good selfie. :) One of my favorite displays has to be the Derby Horse display! I love how it looks as if the horse is running through a field of flowers along side barrels filled with flowers as well. 

Everywhere you look the flower beds are in full bloom all throughout the entire Park. There are flower and garden decorations hidden in the flower beds for you to discover, and even a Rainbow Noodle Archway to walk under. The smell of flowers is all throughout, as all sorts of different types of plants and flowers are in full bloom! Petal Palooza is not just all about the flowers, guests can stop by and see the amazingly beautiful Petal Palooza painted mural, take in some LIVE music on the Sound Waves Stage, watch the New show, Color Blast inside the Kentucky Kingdom Amphitheater, participate in a Silent Disco (June 8th), and even join a 5K Color Run (June 29th) throughout the Park!

Snoopy’s Soap Box Racers takes the classic fun of a soap box racing derby to a whole new level as both parents and kids climb aboard their favorite Peanuts-decorated soap box coaster car and are hoisted up a 70-foot hill to the starting line.

Holiday World: A Place Full of Family Memories

Holiday World has meant a lot to me for many years, but I would say it truly became special to me back in 2006 when my mom first introduced me to the park. We visited in the spring that year, and after that first trip, we kept going back again and again throughout the season. What started as a visit quickly turned into something much bigger. It became a place filled with memories, excitement, and quality time with family. My very first season visiting Holiday World in 2006 I had already been a theme park and roller coaster fan before that, but Holiday World felt different from anything I had experienced before. There was just something special about it. From the rides to the atmosphere, it immediately stood out to me as a place that was not only exciting, but also welcoming and full of heart. A huge part of that came from experiencing it for the first time with my mom, who quickly turned me into a Holiday World fan for life. The person who gave me the Holiday World bug — my Mom. Some o...

This one-of-a-kind event allowed participants to run throughout the Park as well as even outside the Park while being doused with colorful powders at different locations during he route. Below shows a map of the routes that participants could take. One being only 1.5 Miles (Kid's Fun Run), and the other being 3.1 Miles (Floral Frenzy 5K).  A decent amount of participants showed up to take on this new 5K that Kentucky Kingdom hosted. This was a great event for people of all ages as well. Everyone who participated seemed to really enjoy this special event. Participants were given light refreshments before and after the race, as well as a Floral Frenzy 5K T-Shirt and Completion Medal. We were also led in a stretch session before we took off and while we waited for the race to start the...
