Since 1973, this Kansas City amusement park has been one of the premier entertainment destinations in the Midwest. The park’s name is quite fitting: with more than 40 rides and themed areas representing many different corners of the globe, there’s almost no end to the action and excitement. The park gets its name from a famous Jules Verne novel, and each section of the park features a variety of rides, attractions and decorations that display a regional flair. No matter which area of the park you want to explore first, you can be sure to find a ride intense enough for even the boldest thrill-seeker. Whether you want to ride a rollercoaster with as many loops as you can handle, or spin at high speeds as lights start to blur, thrillseekers can be sure to find a steady dose of adrenaline. That doesn’t mean that everyone in the family has to be 54 inches tall to enjoy themselves at this Kansas City classic. A cartoon-themed area offers plenty of rides for the little ones, as well as family-friendly shows and entertainment that take place throughout the day.
If things get too hot and you feel like cooling off, grab your swimsuit and head on over to the adjacent water park. This water park offers something for all ages: feel the excitement of the varied waterslides, let the kids splash around at the “sprayground,” or for those 21 and over, swim your way over to the cabana for a tropical beverage.
