Worlds of Fun Partners with Children’s Mercy
Worlds of Fun
Yesterday Worlds of Fun announced a historic partnership with Children’s Mercy to provide complimentary admission to every inpatient and their families this season.
Worlds of Mercy: Worlds of Fun will provide each inpatient at the Adele Hall campus as well as the Kansas locations four complimentary single-day admission passes. The donation, estimated to be over $1M, is the largest ticket donation in park history.
Ride the Partnership: Last year, Worlds of Fun raised $20,000 in conjunction with the Big Slick fundraiser by offering the chance to be one of the first riders on the revamped Zambezi Zinger. The continuation of this partnership shows the commitment between the two KC-based institutions.
Worlds of Fun will open for the 2024 season on May 4th, and tickets are available now!
