Richmond is ideally situated between two great amusement parks, and families with little ones are even luckier this year as Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens are both offering free passes for the 3-5 year old crowd.  Both parks offer kid-friendly rides & attractions for the whole family.  Here’s what you need to know.

Kings Dominion
