Kings Island Inn & and the Brady Bunch
In November 1973, one year after Kings Island opened, the Brady Bunch filmed an episode on-site in the park. The story was about the frantic search for architectural plans Mr. Brady had developed for the park, and so we got to see the place first-hand from our living rooms as Brady folk raced to and fro. Having re-aired recently, forty-six years later, it’s a rare time capsule back to the early days. In the show, we also see the family in their motel room preparing for the fun day ahead. Some of you might remember there actually was a Kings Island Inn on property (it finally closed for good in 2014). It was an alpine-themed affair across the road from the park. It was also the only motel anywhere around at the time…but that would change. Here’s a 1972 map along with a cutout of the Inn.
