Kansas City’s Top 10 for Kids

Amusement park Worlds of Fun [1] is great for the whole family. During the summer months, head next door to Oceans of Fun [2].

The Kansas City Zoo [3] never fails to disappoint. Try an animal encounter show or head to the Discovery Barn, an interactive play area.

Children channel their inner Picasso at Kaleidoscope [4]. Make a memorable souvenir using recycled materials and art supplies during Kaleidoscope’s family art sessions.

Kids are mesmerized by the train decor at Fritz’s Railroad Restaurant [5], where their food is delivered by model trains.

Check out the Hallmark Visitors Center [6] for a sneak peek at the greeting card production process, complete with a handmade souvenir you’ll finish before you go.

Follow a genuine yellow-brick road at The Legends at Village West [7], an outdoor shopping and dining district dedicated to Kansas legends.

Pack a picnic and head to the lawn of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art [8]. Kids will delight in exploring the sculpture garden.

Test your child’s basketball prowess at the College Basketball Experience [9], a nearly 100 percent interactive museum designed to put visitors in the heart of the action.

Fireworks, food, fun — a night out at Kauffman Stadium cheering on the Kansas City Royals [10] is great for kids of all ages.

Union Station [11]’s significant history may not be all that appealing to younger children; instead, let them loose within Union Station’s Science City [12] to play, explore, and learn in a variety of colorful, interactive exhibits.
