04 · The parks

What each one is.

Legoland New York

LEGOLAND New York is the newest LEGOLAND resort, opening in Goshen, New York in 2021, about an hour north of New York City. The park covers 150 acres and groups rides into seven themed lands including LEGO Castle, LEGO City, and Pirates. Rides include The Dragon, LEGO Factory Adventure Ride, and a full MINILAND featuring New York landmarks.

As one of the newer parks, LEGOLAND New York hasn't built up the same year-round attendance as Florida or California, so weekday visits stay pleasantly quiet. The summer and fall weekends draw busier crowds from NYC and New Jersey day-trippers. Check live wait times on arrival and use the crowd calendar to avoid peak holiday weekends.

Worlds Of Fun

Worlds of Fun is a theme park in Kansas City, Missouri, opened in 1973 and now run under the Six Flags banner. The park covers 235 acres with themed areas based on continents and a varied coaster line-up: Mamba (a 205-foot Morgan hyper coaster), Prowler (a GCI wooden coaster), Patriot (an inverted coaster), and Timber Wolf. An Oceans of Fun water park operates on the same site in summer.

Kansas City school holidays and the Halloween Haunt drive Worlds of Fun's peak crowds, particularly weekend days in July, August and October. Weekdays in May, September and early October are much quieter. Check live queue times for Mamba and Prowler before committing, and use our crowd calendar to pick a lower-crowd midweek date for shorter waits.
