A new study by family holiday experts FamilyDestinationsGuide.com has revealed the most affordable amusement parks in America.

The study evaluated amusement parks based on ticket prices, restaurant and food costs, attractions, hotels, and transport to determine which is the most cost effective. 

This study is based on a family of two adults and two children under nine.

And it is Kings Island which earned the award as the cheapest day out with a family’s average daily spend of £297.82. Kings Island had the lowest daily food spend at £21.29 and the lowest average cost for park tickets at £129.38 per day.

Since it opened in 1972, the 364-acred Kings Island has been a prominent fixture in the amusement park industry.
