"What a cute little park. Worth the visit if you have a day in KC and dont know what to do. When we visited it wasnt too packed and we were able to marathon most rides but that will be different for everyone."

"I love most of the rides and coasters. The Timberwolf and Boomerang are particularly uncomfortable, so I avoid those rides. We purchased season passes this year, so we went to both parks and got refillable cups. Totally worth the price! Though maintenance on the drink machines could be better. I enjoy the Halloween haunted houses and stages performances as well."

"We have been to World of Fun many times. They have really improved theming and added lots of plants and decor over the years. The food is pretty good and the employees are friendly. They have a wide variety of rides and some good coasters. Their ride operations could use some improvement. This is the second year we came to Haunt and absolutely love that. They have 7 haunted houses, scare zones and shows."
