My children and I went to WOF this September. Paying $10 to park does not seem fair considering you are are already paying for admission. Anyway, the first ride we encountered was Boomerrang. It was broke down and we were informed it usually is by the teenager attending the ride. We then went to the coaster we came for...Mamba. Oops,... more

I grew up in Kansas City, and during my teenage years I had a season passport to Worlds of Fun. The park use to be picture perfect and clean. Now, you have to pay $10 to park your car and walk all the way to the front entrance. No more tram service, that went away several years ago. You will... more

The price was a little much for the entertainment that we got from the amusement park. The park is stroller friendly however, but unless you want to fork money over for the little train and wait, expect you're family to be really tired by about halfway through the day ... especially when summer temperatures soar. We took our babysitter with... more

We are not originally from the KC area but live here now and decided to take our 4 year old to WOF for the day. $150 and four rides later we were regretting it. What a waste of money! Our son could ride almost none of the rides because he was too short and the rides we did get on... more

I live in the KC area and have been going to Worlds of Fun for years. What started out as a park with a planned theme (supposed to be based on the book AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS) has turned into just another county fair propped up by a couple of better than average roller coasters. Mamba, Patriot, Timber... more

There are great rides here as well as entertainment! The Detonator is a ride that shoots up and bounces up and down-the Mamba is a big roller coaster that must be mastered, and the finale is the Thunderbird that squirts water at you as it flips you over and over again. That's a puke machine, so only go with an... more

Worlds of fun is a typical, yet fun amusement park with about 40 rides, including six coasters. While it is no Disneyland, it has enough rides for everyone. The park is clean, and has good guest services. They have all of the typical amusement park rides that can be found at most other parks around the country. While if you... more

I agree with many of the reviews on here. I too have been to WOF since its opening wayyy back in the 70's. It has gone downhill and fast. Yes, there are a few cool rides, the Patriot being one of the best but these do not make up for the negatives. The overall condition of the park is rather... more

I hadn't been to this park since I graduated from high school, and that has been many , many moons ago!. Mostly, it looked pretty much the same, although it needs paint here and there. Reminded me of a large carnival. I could tell, and knew that some of the rides were dated, some of them I remember seeing at... more

I was a little put of when we first got there, that we had to pay $10 to even park, then pay like $25 to get in. That was really expensive. I could see like maybe $2-$5 for parking. $10 is WAY to much. We were there on a cloud day, so the park was not busy at all. Most... more
