Worlds of Fun’s executive chef Wesley Boston is adding his own taste of creative flare with a special menu with more than 20 items just for WinterFest, including loaded fried yams, candied bacon, holiday egg rolls, a pot roast sandwich, cinnamon pull-apart bread and deluxe hot chocolate, in addition to traditional favorites like smoked turkey and carved ham.
WinterFest is home to Worlds of Fun’s largest entertainment lineup of the season with a total of 10 original shows and dozens of strolling performers who spread holiday cheer. Families can also enjoy up to 30 rides, shop local crafters and specialty shops, and participate in festive activities like letter writing to Santa at the North Pole Post Office, decorating cookies with Mrs. Claus or visiting a live nativity and petting zoo.
