If your teen hasn’t asked to visit Kings Island yet, it’s probably because they don’t know about it! Basically, it’s the Midwest’s largest amusement and waterpark, and a must-do for teenagers. From thrill rides like the Banshee with 4,124 feet of track to the live entertainment, there’s something to offer every kid.

    I had no clue this place even existed, it looks like a ton of fun! If there’s a dinosaur in the mix, Dennis will love it! Also, laser tag, the hubby and Dennis won’t say no to that for sure haha. However, our 5-year old might not have that much fun there. Do you think he will enjoy it there or the activities are suited more for teenagers? He’s not the adventurous type so I’m a tad worried we’ll have to drag him from place to place.

    We are about an hour to an hour and a half away from Kings Island and we didn’t make it there this summer. I’m hoping we can make it around October on a weekend!
