Worlds of Fun holds a special place in my heart, being our only local amusement park here in Kansas City. What's remarkable is that, even as an adult, I find it just as enjoyable as ever. It's evident that the park strives to improve each year, and that dedication is something I genuinely appreciate.
During our visit on a scorching weekday, we truly had a blast. We made it our mission to experience almost every ride, with the exception of Timberwolf and Spinning Dragons. A standout was the revamped Zambezi Zinger, which, after its makeover, easily ranks as one of the best coasters in the park.
The Mamba, a perennial favorite, lived up to its reputation, and the best part was the minimal wait time. However, it's important to note that some rides were affected by staffing issues, leading to either complete closures or reduced capacity. While this was a bit of a downer, it didn't diminish the overall enjoyment of the day.
The park's cleanliness was reassuring, and it certainly didn't give off the vibe of being in disrepair. As for food, our experience at the old diner was decent, though the heat lamp treatment was a minor drawback. Fortunately, most of the staff we encountered were friendly and appeared to be genuinely enjoying their work, which added to the positive atmosphere.
In conclusion, Worlds of Fun continues to be a fantastic amusement park. I'm eager to return, although I do wish they offered more weekday options during the school year to cater to adults looking for off-peak visits. Additionally, it's worth noting that parking and ticket prices have increased, making a season pass an excellent value for those planning to visit multiple times. Overall, this local gem remains a source of fun and nostalgia, and I'm looking forward to my next visit.
We purchased gold passes to use for Haunt and the 2024 season. Such a great deal! Even if the kids only used them twice, it paid for itself. But we’ve already been 4 times because we don’t have to make it an all day long thing now to get the value. Highly recommend becoming season pass holders!!
It's fun. Its always been fun. We went during the day. I hated that you can't bring a water bottle in. Your also not allowed to renter after a certain time. They make it where you have to spend a ton of money there regardless of how budget friendly you try to make it. Parking is minimum $30. Drinks are 18.99 each for a refillable cup. When you have 5 people it's over $100 with tax. A slice of pizza and breadstick and small salad 17.99. Everything is over priced. Water bottles 6.00 each. 20 oz 6.00 each. They only allow a clear backpack and no outside drinks not even a water bottle. The rides did not disappoint. The zambie zinger is way better than the 90's. If you are going here with the family buy the food pass for 2 meals it's 31.99 each. Yes it's expensive but it pays for itself and I believe includes the refillable cups which are 18.99 each themselves if you buy at the park. We will be back because it's worlds of fun and our kids love it. I am just not happy that I have to spend over 500 for one day for a family of five. We will be buying season passes next year. I wanted to buy the fast lane pass but now worlds of fun is charging 299.99 per person additional to have the fast lane instead of $60 in previous years. 3 star because I love the rides!
This is a great amusement park. They have really great Rollercoasters. The park is very clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. I loved the safari theme. One of my favorite attractions was the real steam locomotive. The lines moved along quickly. I had a problem with my drink pass which was taken care of quickly.
First time going to Worlds of fun haunt. Took my granddaughter. We had any absolute blast. The Haunted houses were well done. They were a little tricky to find but the staff was great a helping find them. Got to ride the news zambizinger. It was an awesome ride. Fast with some good airtime. We rode it twice in a row. Of course we had to ride the Mamba. It never disappoints. We had some yummy barbq. No lie though it cost me more for two meals then it did for two Haunt tickets. To be expected though. The Haunt characters were first class. Always stopping to engage. Well done Worlds of Fun. What a super duper fun night.
1. If you are going to spend two or more days here just get the silver season pass. $105/each. That comes with parking. Usually $30 extra on top of the daily ticket of $55.
With the season pass you can get the VIP PARKING for $10 instead of $40 with the daily passes. So technically nothing to park closer.
Lockers are $15/day for a backpack and shoes size locker. Bigger sizes available if needed.
Express passes to cut lines ain't worth it. Spend a couple days swimming and focus on rides in the evening when the lines are very minimal.
Need flip flops or something for the hot concrete while swimming.
Season pass you can leave the park and walk to your car in VIP parking for drinks and food so you don't have to spend money on the extras they add on when purchasing your season memberships online.
Oceans closes at 7pm and World's of Fun closes at 10pm. Great to spend at least 2 days. We spent 5 nights in KC and just went for a 4-6 hours a day to swim and then back at night for rides without lines. No rushing around. Just walking the parks at our own leisure.
We had fun here, but other than the carousel, there’s nothing for babies or kids under 2 years old. My husband and I went on only one ride, the Patriot, which was alright, but the wait was almost an hour. We wanted to go on the Mamba, but it was closed, and the wait times listed on the app, were so inaccurate that we gave up trying to ride anything else. Two full adult day passes only got us one roller coaster ride. It was pretty disappointing. We visited in early August on a Saturday, so I realize it was probably the height of the season, but in order for the kids in our group to get on any rides, we had to pay $85 each on top of the general admission price to get a fast pass. Everything inside the park is incredibly overpriced, which is expected. I recommend bringing your own beverages and packing a small cooler. I wouldn’t have minded spending the money on the food in the park, but the options were not good. The food was just terrible during the daytime. I visited a couple times when I was a kid and have wonderful memories. It’s changed a lot since then. I got to do the RipCord with my sister and nephew, which was a blast, but also cost extra. Thankfully, we got a second wind and returned for the 50th anniversary celebration Grand Carnivale. That really improved our overall experience. I don’t think I’d return if it wasn’t for the late night show we got to see. The performers did a wonderful job and the international food tasting was really neat. The park is very nice, there’s lots of shaded areas, but I don’t recommend on a hot day. That another thing about eating there, it’s almost all outdoor seating. I wish we had the chance to experience Oceans of Fun, but maybe next time. I don’t like the whole fast pass thing. I think a better idea, is to update their wait times AND allow you to schedule your ride, so you’re not having to wait around for an hour for each ride. Waiting really spoils the experience. They allow you to schedule the rip cord, so why not do the same with the most popular roller coaster? I’d love to see that in the future. It’d make this place much more appealing.
The Haunt is always a good time. This year is the first year we purchased season tickets due to safety concerns of the past. Their chaperone policy has definitely worked. If you've stay away like we did for such reasons I can attest it's a safe place for everyone all evening.

First of all we love the name! Two Sugars in Kansas City is such a cute name and coffee shop. We loved our latte and conversation with the owner. Iâll definitely be back to try their matcha!
I absolutely love staying at 44 and coming to visit my friends. Although I am an employee of BMG, had I found this community on my own, I have no doubt I would have fallen in love with the community and staff. They have the best events and the best r

I donât know how I would have made it through my pregnancy without the classes at Full Circle Yoga KC. My older sister also went to Jenny Hellman for two of her pregnancies and when I told her I was having trouble finding good and affordable prenat
This place has been amazing. Itâs all about how much work you put into the class. Other people will be going hard, the coaches will push you and the workouts are not easy. The only thing left is how much effort do you want to put into it? Take a ch

Carly was an amazing, friendly instructor!! She described the yoga poses so well to the point where I could just listen to her instruction. It was a yoga session Iâll never forget on a snow day in Kansas City. Feeling lucky to start one of the days
Vested Coffee in the Garment District is a popular spot to work remote, sip on delicious coffee, and have a tasty party or burrito. Vested Coffee has taken over as my number one spot for a warm Mocha. The drink was chocolatey, warm, and sweet but not
One of my favorite places to run. In the summer there is a pretty nice tree canopy covering the majority of the trail. Itâs peaceful and beautiful out there.
