A Season Pass is one of the most popular passes at Kings Dominion.

In this guide, we'll explain what a Kings Dominion Season Pass is, the differences between the various season passes, what perks they offer, how you can pay for it, and even the upgrades that you can make.

What is a Kings Dominion Season Pass?

A Kings Dominion Season Pass allows a pass holder to visit the park an unlimited number of times throughout the 'season' in a year, on all days that are open to the public.

Some of the benefits that the Season Pass offers include:

  • Unlimited Visits
  • Free General Parking
  • Bring a Friend Discount Tickets
  • 10% Discount on Food and Merchandise

How Long Does a Season Pass Last?

A Season Pass is different from an Annual pass, as typically Season Passes last until December 31st of the year that you purchased the pass.

It's important to note that Kings Dominion is only open every day from June-August.

Starting in September, Kings Dominion begins to wind down from being open full-time to a part-time basis.

Pass Differences

The main difference is that the Platinum Pass allows you access to ALL Cedar Fair parks for the season (and water parks), while the Gold & Silver Pass only allows you access to Kings Dominion.

Additionally, the Silver Pass does not give pass holders access to WinterFest and Halloween Haunt, while the Gold Pass and Platinum Pass do.

If you're renewing your Season Pass, the payments will be slightly cheaper.
