Would you take your family to a free fall day at an amusement park?
Worlds of Fun will host its Fall Family Fest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 7 and Saturday, November 14, 2026, offering limited free access to the amusement park. Guests are encouraged to RSVP online because capacity is limited each day.
Why it matters
The event is framed as a gift to the community and guests during the fall season, giving Kansas City-area visitors a low-cost way to visit the park. It also sets the stage for a new logo reveal and a vision for the property shared by park leadership.
Ride wristbands cost $10 each or are free with a 2027 season pass, while unlimited ride wristbands are $20 and Planet Snoopy-only tickets are $10. Merchandise discounts reach up to 75%, but daily capacity is limited and the park has not disclosed a specific guest cap.
The players
Worlds of Fun
Worlds of Fun is a Kansas City amusement park that has operated for 53 years and is owned by EPR Properties.
EPR Properties
EPR Properties is a real estate investment trust that purchased Worlds of Fun and six other parks from Six Flags for $342 million in 2026.
Dameon Nelson
Dameon Nelson is the park leader who will share a new vision for the property at the November 7 event.
The details
Worlds of Fun will open limited free access to its amusement park on the two Saturdays, with parking also free on those days. Guests can RSVP at worldsoffun.enchantedparks.com, and a logo reveal and new property vision from Dameon Nelson are scheduled for 4 p.m. on November 7.
Timeline
November 7, 2026: Fall Family Fest day one runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the logo reveal at 4 p.m.
November 14, 2026: Fall Family Fest day two runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Industry Shift
The 2024 merger of Cedar Fair and Six Flags set off a wave of ownership changes across the regional park industry. The 2026 purchase of Worlds of Fun by EPR Properties, along with six other parks, is part of that consolidation.
Visitors can enjoy free park access and free parking on either Saturday, but they should RSVP online since capacity is limited each day. Families planning to ride can save by buying $10 wristbands in advance or using a 2027 season pass.
The takeaway
Free access days like the Fall Family Fest give Kansas City families a chance to experience the park before its new ownership and branding take shape. Booking an RSVP early is the best way to secure a spot on either date.
What happens next
Guests who want to attend should RSVP online for either November 7 or November 14 before capacity fills, and the logo reveal takes place at 4 p.m. on November 7.
