Worlds of Fun Cotton Blossom Marquee Sign

Worlds of Fun announced the addition of a new barbecue restaurant, called Boathouse Grill, back in August 2018. The concept was the theme around the three original ships that were featured at the park, Henrietta, Victrix and Cotton Blossom.

Cedar Fair has decided to focus in on the theme surrounding the Cotton Blossom ship, and thus the Cotton Blossom Bar-B-Que was born.

The menu at Cotton Blossom Bar-B-Que showcases an array of fan favorites like authentic Kansas City barbecue, rotisserie chicken, a selection of homestyle sides and desserts, and healthy options like salads and fresh vegetables. The restaurant will feature porch-style seating, and a patio where guests may sip a craft beer while enjoying views of the Patriot roller coaster and SteelHawk swings. Located in the Americana section of the park, its name, architecture and theming pay tribute to Worlds of Fun’s history and the three iconic boats that welcomed guests when the park first opened in 1973. Cotton Blossom Bar-B-Que will be included in the park’s dining plans.
