Oceans of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri, is the water park located right next to Worlds of Fun. The park opened in 1982 and was one of the largest water parks in the world at the time. Today, admission to Oceans of Fun is included with Worlds of Fun, making it very easy to visit both parks on the same day.

Oceans of Fun offers a good selection of water slides, ranging from older classics to more modern additions. There is also the large Surf City Wave Pool, several family areas and Caribbean Cooler, the park’s lazy river. Especially during the hot Missouri summer, the water park is a great addition to a day at Worlds of Fun.

Oceans of Fun has been around for more than 40 years, and you can certainly tell in some areas. But that is also part of its charm. The mature trees and older attractions give the park a character that many newer water parks simply don’t have, while the surprisingly good selection of slides makes it easy to spend several hours here.
