Get ready to channel your inner child at Mattel’s new theme park expected to open in two years.
The company said Wednesday it plans to open a Mattel Adventure Park in Bonner Springs, Kansas in 2026. The park is a joint venture between Mattel and Epic Resort Destinations, according to a press release.
This will be the company’s second park. The first is under construction in Arizona.
“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 the 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.”
The park will include Hot Wheels-themed roller coasters, “Masters of the Universe”-themed laser tag, “Thomas & Friends”-inspired attractions and a “larger-than-life” Barbie Beach House, the press release states.
The house will allow guests to build their own Barbie sets, step into a Barbie-themed flying theater and eat at a Barbie-themed rooftop restaurant and bar.
Mattel Adventure Park will also offer an 18-hole mini golf course inspired by Magic 8 Ball, Pictionary and other Mattel games. A custom climb UNO structure is also expected to deliver “nostalgia and adventure for all ages.”
“We are bringing Mattel’s powerhouse brands to life through state-of-the-art technology and engaging experiences,” Mark Cornell, president of Epic Resort Destinations, said in the press release. “This new destination is sure to provide infinite fun for the whole family.”
Mattel has already broken ground on its first Mattel Adventure Park in Glendale, Arizona. That park is expected to open later this year. People can go online for updates and a sneak peek of the parks.
