mom_rides Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi All. We are (hopefully!) planning a trip to KI in late August. We have Platinum Passes from CP and visit CP frequently. I have some park related questions that I'm hoping you all can help me with. Forgive me if I compare KI to CP, but I'm just trying to get an idea on some things so I can plan our trip accordingly. Does KI have a picnic area like CP does? We are hoping to save some money by packing our lunch and love to use the pavillion at CP. Do you have any recommendations for hotels in the area? We would need something that would accomodate all of us, so essentially two double/queen beds and a fold out couch or a rollaway accomodation. We would also prefer something with breakfast included. We don't mind to drive 15 to 20 minutes to get to the park, if the accomodations are right for us. Since we visit CP frequently, we have a family rule of one food treat per visit. Can you give me an idea of what food runs in the park? Say for funnel cakes, corn/hot dogs, etc. Also, CP offers free water at the concession stands, does KI do the same? Thanks in advance for your assistance! Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 There are picnic tables near the entrance to the park where you can bring your owned bag lunches. You'll find food prices generally similar to Cedar Point's. Make sure you let us know how it goes! Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 KI does offer free water at food booths with fountain machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomkatt7 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 we are staying at the King Island Confrence and Resort hotel. they run shuttles all day to and from the park. They also have a couple of resturants inside the hotel for your meals. It's an old hotel, but I really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 As for a food treat, you must try the blue imitation soft serve ice cream. It's a tradition, back to the days of the Smurfberry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your assistance! Holly There are number of hotels at both exit 19 off 71 (3 miles south of park) and exit 25 (1 mile north), and most are inexpensive and reasonable. If price isn't a concern, you can stay 'on property' so to speak at great wolf lodge, where 1 suite would prob suffice for your family. Have fun!
