Shoot through corkscrews in rollercoasters, plummet down water slides and explore all the continents in this fun-filled family entertainment park.

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.

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.
