Exciting news for families and adventure seekers!

Set to open its doors in 2026, this all-new entertainment resort destination promises a world of thrills and excitement for visitors of all ages.
Breaking ground later this year, Mattel Adventure Park Kansas City will be the second of its kind, following the success of Mattel Adventure Park in Glendale, Arizona that is set to open later this year. Among its many attractions, guests can look forward to heart-pounding adventures on fully themed Hot Wheels roller coasters, including the Hot Wheels Bone Shaker: The Ultimate Ride and the Hot Wheels Twin Mill Racer. Get ready for the adrenaline rush of a lifetime as you experience loops, twists, and turns on these iconic rides!
For fans of Thomas & Friends, the World of Sodor awaits with five family-friendly attractions and rides, along with an indoor play space designed especially for little adventurers.
Parkgoers can dive into the larger-than-life Barbie Beach House, where an interactive retail experience allows fans to create their own customized Barbie sets in the Barbie Dream Closet Experience. Be amazed as Barbie comes to life through hologram technology, and don’t miss the chance to dine at The Barbie Rooftop restaurant and bar.
For those with a competitive spirit, engage in epic battles at He-Man vs. Skeletor Laser Tag, set in a massive arena inspired by the iconic Castle Grayskull fortress. Plus, enjoy a round of mini golf with 18 holes inspired by classic Mattel games like Magic 8 Ball and Pictionary.
But the real highlight? A custom climb UNO structure that promises nostalgia and adventure for guests of all ages.
