Kansas City’s Bonner Springs will welcome Mattel Adventure Park, a $539 million theme park set to open by May 2031, featuring family-focused attractions, hotels, and an on-site RV park designed for overnight guests.
As part of the 180-acre Destination KCK development, the project positions the city as a Midwest destination for multi day stays, offering flexible lodging options for travelers.
Mattel Adventure Park, scheduled to break ground in October 2027 and completed by October 2030, will showcase iconic Mattel brands, including Barbie, Hot Wheels, and Thomas the Tank Engine.
According to an article published by AOL, the Destination KCK development spans 180 acres and will include hotels, an indoor rainforest, a year-round Christmas village, a 10-acre lake, and an RV park tailored for families and group travelers seeking extended stays.
The park’s attractions combine nostalgia with modern thrills. Hot Wheels fans can enjoy coasters such as Bone Shaker and Twin Mill, while Barbie enthusiasts can explore a fully themed Barbie Beach House with interactive activities.
Thomas the Tank Engine will also feature a Treasure Hunt ride, alongside climbing experiences inspired by UNO! and adrenaline-focused towers like the KerPlunk Drop Tower.
The on-site RV park is positioned as a central amenity, providing travelers with convenient, flexible lodging that allows them to extend visits across multiple days while enjoying the park and surrounding attractions.
Designed for multi-day travel, the RV park will complement the hotels in Destination KCK, offering families, groups, and road-tripping visitors a range of overnight options. Visitors can expect higher occupancy during peak seasons and holidays.
“Mattel Adventure Park Kansas City will bring our iconic brands to life with epic roller coasters, family-friendly attractions, an immersive theatre, themed dining, and so much more,” Josh Silverman, Chief Franchise Officer at Mattel said in a press release.
“We are thrilled to expand these themed entertainment destinations and invite new fans to experience the world of Mattel in all-new ways as they create lasting memories with loved ones,” Silverman added.
