Planet Snoopy is perfect for preschoolers

Where are my Peanuts Gang fans at? Did you know you can find Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and more inside Kings Island located in Mason, Ohio? Planet Snoopy is an entire land dedicated to those 48 inches and shorter. Over 15 rides made for kids or kids and a guardian plus there is a petting zoo inside Planet Snoopy that is home to over 50 animals! No wonder Planet Snoopy has been voted "Best Kids' Area in the World" 18 times!

Planet Snoopy: Peanuts Showplace + Peanuts Meet & Greets

Peanuts ShowPlace is show theater is located inside Planet Snoopy that offers a nice break from the heat.

In 2019 the show "Space Beagle" premiered that featured Snoopy, Charlie Brown and Lucy singing and dancing about how Snoopy was headed for space!

Afterwards guests were able to take pictures with and hug these three beloved Peanuts Gang characters.

For the 2020 season, this show is unfortunately not holding performances as Kings Island has suspended any indoor shows.

I can however, confirm that The Peanuts Gang are still out and about inside Planet Snoopy, behind themed barriers, for socially distanced photo ops.
