Travel & Food Adventures from a Tall, Hungry, & Wandering Explorer

Kings Dominion has become a foodie paradise. You'll find some of the best food in Virginia at Kings Dominion. As a foodie, I was excited to see so many new, delicious and creative dishes on the menu. Kings Dominion culinary team has put together some intriguing flavor combinations at this year's WinterFest. I tried a variety of new dishes, which included an apple butter turkey leg, a donut burger and much more. My taste buds were definitely pleased after eating at the park! Here are some of my favorite WinterFest foods with descriptions.*I highly recommend a dining pass, if you want to try different items*

Apple Butter Turkey Leg

I'll admit, I was a little skeptical about apple butter on a turkey leg at first. However, after one bite, I had a smile on my face. The savory smoked turkey leg paired with sweet apple butter was a flavor explosion. I couldn't stop eating this massive turkey leg. Just don't take my word about this smoked meat. Do yourself a favor and check out this unique turkey leg.

Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread 

Warm cinnamon pull-apart bread with gooey icing will certainly put you in the holiday spirit and get your mouth watering fast. I could smell this bread from a mile away. I couldn't just eat one piece. Before I knew it, my plate was empty. Cinnamon pull-apart bread is now one of my favorite desserts at Kings Dominion. 

Donut Burger

Nothing screams sweet and savory like a donut burger. Sweetness from the donut compliments this flavorful, juicy bacon cheeseburger perfectly. No toppings are needed. You will want to bookmark this special cheeseburger at WinterFest. The donut burger comes with a side of crispy fries.

Loaded Cheese Curds 

Have you ever eaten a cheese curd? If your answer is no, you're missing out. Kings Dominion loaded cheese curds are the bomb. Fried cheese curds topped with an array of ingredients (gouda cheese sauce, brisket, BBQ sauce, &  slaw). All of these ingredients blended together perfectly. Loaded cheese curds are a must-have for all cheese lovers!

Giant Loaded Baked Potato

A baked potato is one of my favorite comfort foods. No plain Jane here. I like my potatoes fully loaded with crispy bacon, butter, sour cream, scallions, and plenty of cheese. Kings Dominion giant loaded baked potato checks all of these boxes. Make sure to bring your appetite because this potato is massive. 

Besides amazing foods, Kings Dominion WinterFest has a lot of family fun attractions for everyone. As soon as you walk into the park, decorative lights will catch your eye. A larger than life 300-foot-tall Christmas tree, large ice-skating rink, cookie decorating, Santa photo opportunities, live entertainment, and a parade with custom made floats. These are just a few of WinterFest's awesome activities. Kings Dominion WinterFest is running from Nov. 20, 2021 – Jan. 9, 2022 (select nights). Don't miss this spectacular holiday event!
