With over 100 rides including top-class rollercoasters and giant swings, it's easy to see why Worlds of Fun is such a popular family entertainment destination. Based on the theme of Jules Verne's adventure novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days", the amusement park sees you travel from continent to continent in rides to suit every adrenaline level.
Over in the Orient you will come up against the Spinning Dragons, while over in Africa you can wrestle with the Mamba. A popular ride in Americana is the Patriot. Carriages that colourfully display a stars-and-stripes motif hoist riders up 45 metres before propelling them through rolls and corkscrews at high speed. Over in Europa, jump on the Autobahn for a thrilling bumper car experience, whereas the Finnish Fling pins you to the wall with g-force while the floor opens beneath you – not for the faint hearted!
If that’s too much adrenaline for you or the little ones, head over to Planet Snoopy where train rides, Snoopy's Camp Bus and a swinging airplane will keep them entertained for hours.
All that fun will work up a big appetite, but there are plenty of eateries on-site to keep the hunger at bay. With lots of places to choose from every taste and budget is catered for.
In 2013 Worlds of Fun joined forces with Oceans of Fun next door and together they are the biggest amusement park in Missouri. One price affords entry to both parks which is great value. You can access all the waterslides and pools Oceans of Fun has to offer, which is great for cooling down on those hot days.
Worlds of Fun is a short drive northeast of Kansas City. Opening hours are seasonal so make sure to check with the parks official website for up-to-date information. Parking is widely available and is free. Height restrictions apply to all rides.
