I had no idea that Worlds of Fun was even open this time of year, let alone transformed into a winter wonderland of holiday cheer, festive lights and even open rides (and so much more). We took the kids to the WinterFest last weekend, arriving just in time to see the tree lighting ceremony. The entire park was lit up, trees decorated and all the different areas of the park transformed into holiday scenes and themes, entertainment galore and tons to do - so much to do we didn't even get to the half of it!
But we did manage to do a little bit of a lot! A few highlights include: Nora riding her first ride, Liam having a long chat with Santa (Nora still not into him), drinking hot cocoa, watching Greg ride a little kid ride, and mostly, seeing how excited the kids were the whole night. We didn't intend to stay so late, but we were all having so much fun that the kids didn't go to bed until 3 hours past their bedtime (we paid for it the next day... but it was worth it).
We caught a couple songs of the Cool Yule Christmas Show (very well done live singing/dancing of some of our favorite holiday songs), and Nora's reaction was amazing. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen on my Stories. But essentially, she was in jaw-dropping awe. It was a pretty fun night as a family!
If you are in Kansas City, I definitely recommend going - happening now through December 30th on select days! You can even go for free with a purchase of a 2018 Gold Pass.
