KC weekend trip in the summer
 

I’ve only really been to KC for Chiefs games. We were thinking about taking a weekend trip with the kids to KC this summer. Would probably do a Royals game on Friday or Saturday night. Kids are age 11,9,and 6. Recommendations on stuff to do?

Zoo.

Union station. Science city

There's a toy museum.

Aquarium and Legos by crown center.

Nelson Atkins art gallery.

Drive around and look at the old houses all around the plaza, mission hills, south.

Little out of the way depending on which direction you’re coming from, but you could stop by Bates City and pick up some meth.

There's also a transportation museum. It was cool. Bunch of trains

We’ve got plenty of that around here

My kids like the first row in the sonic slam seats at the k.

Yeah, but is the prospect of quality meth ever really “out of the way”?

Friday night fireworks at the k.

In all seriousness and probably obvious, but they’re of the age they’d love Worlds/Oceans of fun, no?

Yeah, how does it compare to six flags?

Schlitterbahn Verruckt

That's what I was thinking. Had a lot of fun at Worlds of Fun when I was a kid. :)

I haven't been to a Six Flags in many years, but Worlds of Fun is a quality amusement park.

Rent a boat and cruise around on Blue Springs Lake or Lake Jacomo?

Zoo, Worlds of fun/ ocean of fun, Nelson art museum, negro league museum, oak park mall, legends, royals, t bones or sporting kc game, umkc toy museum, take elevator top of the liberty memorial, crown center is very kid friendly

Is Schlitterbaun operational?

They tore down the slide last I heard they weren't saying if they were opening or not

College bball experience

Something air conditioned.

Avoid July and August.

Chrome its right across from i70 drive inn. Huge tourist go too.

I thought the zoo was fantastic

Way more killer!

We’ve been to the St. Louis zoo several times. It’s good and free

Great wolf lodge is cool but it’s out of the way a bit from downtown.

Crossroads district was always fun on first Fridays but I dunno about with kids

Quality list... :thumb:

No on first fridays with kids imo lmao.

Since it will probably be hotter than hell, could do oceans of fun/worlds of fun.

Shoot for late August, you might get lucky and have gorgeous weather.

Or Biloxi, Mississippi hellscape

July 6th - 2019 KC AIR SHOW featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels

Gay day with Clay? Looks fun.

Lolol.

One of these days I'll check this place out for myself, but if museums are a thing for your family there is the Arabia Steamboat Museum.

Luge lessons.

I forget this place. It's pretty cool too. That whole area is nice and has cool spots and buildings. River market.
Lots of antique stores through there.

The west bottoms are popping on first fridays too.

I really need to dedicate a Saturday down there exploring the area. There is no excuse not to as close as I am to it. Pf course being so close is probably why it keeps gettinhg put off - "I can do that any time."

You're missing out imo. There's some awesome spots downther.

Shit we've gotta get together sometime. You run in my area.

Next time you're in go chicken go ask if kathy jo is around and tell her that her cousin jason sent you.

I haven't been to GCG for a few weeks. Reckon I'm due before here some time soon.

I'm always for meeting up with people from the board. We definetly need to get together. I got the first round.

Well like I said. Ask for her and tell her i sent you.

It may not help at all lol. But my pops Ron loved that place. They always take care of your boy

If any of your kids have the history bug the WWI museum is amazing.

This was going to be my suggestion I’ve loved this place since I was a kid. And also kc has a killer street racing scene if your willing to add to the pot they allow spectators. And also what kid doesn’t like drag racing?
