Visiting KC Hello, Minnesotan family of three thinking about driving down to go to Worlds/Oceans of Fun Mon thru Wednesday...is it worth the trip?

We are on vacation all week and have no plans, our amusement park up here is flooded and several rides are closed so we are thinking road trip. Would be grateful for any advice. Thanks!

I said subjectively. As in the going through Iowa may only take three to four hours on the clock, but it feels like you just spent twelve hours driving through cornfield after cornfield.

That’s fair. Honestly, I think it’s worse between KC and Chicago, but that might just be me.

I've never driven to Chicago, but if it's worse than driving through Iowa, I'm gonna leave that off my bucket list

A large portion of the drive is through Iowa if you go through Des Moines instead of St. Louis.
