Worlds of Fun is a 235-acre (95 ha) theme park located in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. Operated by Enchanted Parks, the park features 43 attractions. EPR Properties, a real estate investment trust, owns the park.

Worlds of Fun was founded by American businessmen Lamar Hunt and Jack Steadman under the ownership of Hunt's company, Mid-America Enterprises in 1973. Oceans of Fun is a water park that opened in 1982 and is next to the amusement park. Admission to Oceans of Fun is included with the price of admission to Worlds of Fun. Mid-America Enterprises sold both parks to Cedar Fair in 1995 for $40 million. Cedar Fair merged into a newly-formed company named Six Flags in 2024, which sold the park to EPR Properties in 2026.
