Prepare yourself for Worlds of Fun at this amusement park. Worlds of Fun lives up to its name, providing guests with different culture-themed rides, shows and attractions. Designed around Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days, you can visit Scandinavia, Africa, Europe, Asia and the Americans in a single, local resort that easily competes with the local Schlitterbahn.
Get close to nature through the floral attractions at the Powell Gardens, where the whole family can get active as well as educated. Learn about the different plants, trees, vegetables, fruits and herbs as you walk through the gatehouse, perennial garden, harvest garden and more. Sneak in some exercise along the scenic Nature Trail or relax as the kids play in the interactive Fountain Garden.
