LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky Kingdom, Louisville’s hometown theme and water park, is finally welcoming guests back to Hurricane Bay for the 2024 season. 

Hurricane Bay opens Saturday, May 25, kicking off Kentucky Kingdom’s daily operations for the summer. 

“Kentucky Kingdom’s Hurricane Bay is the perfect day getaway,” Sarah Worrell, Kentucky Kingdom general manager, said. “Each spring we look forward to welcoming back familiar faces, from our past guests to our loyal season passholders, along with new visitors from all over the region!"

Park-goers of all ages can relax in a cabana, float along the lazy river, have fun in the Splash Zone and ride a plethora of water slides.

There will be performances from local musicians like Will Wright, Lyndsey Henken, Lunar Beach House and more. 

On June 8, Kentucky Kingdom will be hosting its first Silent Disco! You can select whatever music you like and dance the night away near the Big Surf wave pool in Hurricane Bay. 

The park has a new event this year called the Petal Palooza. From May 25-June 30, park-goers will see colorful florals across the park and see a live muralist at work. In addition, runners of all ages can participate in Kentucky Kingdom's first Color Run. Runners will be able to see a "vibrant display of beautiful colors and florals" as they make their way through the park. 

Kentucky Kingdom will have its annual Red White, and Bluegrass Bash on Fourth of July where they will light off fireworks. The fireworks will then continue every Saturday in July with the return of Summer Blast.
