Worlds of Fun is the premier amusement park destination in the Midwest -- offering 175 acres of excitement and fun for every member of the family.
For thrill seekers, an impressive line-up of seven world-class roller coasters and dozens of thrill rides offers dips and loops from big to small.
New in 2009 is Prowler, a beast of a wooden coaster hidden in the park's forested terrain. High speed turns and powerful changes of direction highlight this $8 million coaster.
Thrill seekers also challenge Patriot, the longest and tallest inverted roller coaster in the region! The track is above you so there is nothing but air below your feet! Reaching speeds over 60 mph, Patriot turns the American Dream into the American Scream!
For more great coaster action, the beast of Timber Wolf emerges to provide an awesome ride on a classic wooden thriller, and the cold steel of Mamba commands the skyline at 205 feet above the ground as one of the tallest, longest and fastest steel roller coasters in the world. Boomerang loops riders upside-down six times moving forward and backward. The family-friendly Spinning Dragons and the Wacky Worm coaster for kids are perfect for thrill riders in training.
Along with coasters, Worlds of Fun features dozens of other thrill rides. Guests experience the sensation of a coaster loop on ThunderHawk, a gravity-defying freefall on the 200-foot tall Detonator tower and a river rapid adventure on Fury of the Nile.
Kids run wild in PEANUTS Playhouse, a massive interactive attraction, that features various kid-friendly mechanisms - including blasters, catapults, conveyors and buckets that propel, throw, raise, vacuum and dump thousands of oversized foam balls throughout the three-story structure. Worlds of Fun features 16 rides designed specifically for children, many of which are modeled after the big thrill rides in the park. Snoopy and the PEANUTS characters meet and greet families in Camp Snoopy, a two-acre playland themed around the world-famous comic strip.
There is something for guests of all ages!

John D. - Lincoln, NE
My wife, my 9 year old son, and I just returned from a long Labor Day Holiday weekend in Kansas City. We had such a terrific time, we can not wait to return! There are so many fun and interesting things to do, it is hard to know where to start!
The rides at World's of Fun are fantastic, and rival (or exceed) those at Six Flags or Disney. Union Station is not only an incredible architectural masterpiece, but also houses an incredible "hands on" science center and planetarium. The Kansas City Zoo is world class, and the World War I monument and museum are a fitting tribute to our brave forefathers who fought to preserve our freedoms. Shopping opportunity abounds with retailers to fit all tastes at locations including Crown Center, The Plaza, and Oak Park Mall.
Kansas City cuisine...where do I start! Some of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at... anywhere. The only bad part about the trip? When we had to leave. But we will definitely return.
Year-round fun and a generous spirit

I grew up loving my rural hometown, but Kansas City has convinced me there is much to love in the city! KC offers a plentitude of entertainment, educational, and employment opportunities. Housing is affordable, and the people are friendly!
This summer I asked my nieces from back home to come visit Aunt Codi in the "big city." Because KC is so family friendly, I was able to show my nieces all sorts of fun! Below are pictures from the KC Zoo and Worlds of Fun. My nieces and I made memories in KC that will last a lifetime.
Another great thing about KC is that in this city is my favorite volunteer organization: Camp Quality; Camp Quality is a summer camp and year-round support network for children with cancer. Camp Quality draws upon the kind hearts of KC-members who generously support the organization with fundraisers, donations, supplies, services, and precious volunteer work. KC truly makes miracles happen for local children with cancer!
This is a great place to call home!

I just took a weekend trip to Kansas City to take my neice and nephew to a Royals game, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun. I myself remember wonderful vacations to Kansas City and I wanted to share the experience with them. They had so much fun. It was one the best weekends I have had in a very long time.
Really Cool

brian c. - topeka, KS
Coming down from Topeka, (where there is nothing to do) KC offers fantastic fun. Every thing from Worlds of fun, to museums, Union Station with incredible exhibits, so many places to eat and shop it would take for ever to go through all of them, pretty scenery, good prices. Thank God it is so close to Topeka so Topekan's can acutally go some where for fun. Winning any thing going to KC would be great. Thanks, Brian
