"Discovery Meadow is the most exciting addition to Kentucky Kingdom in years, and we can’t wait for families to experience this incredible land," Kentucky Kingdom General Manager Sarah Worrell said "From brand-new rides to reimagined favorites, interactive play areas, and surprises at every turn, Discovery Meadow is designed to spark family joy, adventure, and connection like never before. It’s a true celebration of Kentucky’s beauty and spirit—bigger, bolder, and more immersive than anything we’ve ever done."
Discovery Meadow will open for the park's 2025 season, starting May 10. The Herschend-operated theme park is planning an additional $14 million worth of improvements in 2026, as well.
