I love summertime in Kansas City! As a teacher, it’s my chance to get out with my family and explore all this city (and the surrounding suburbs) have to offer. What’s not to love about Kaleidoscope, the trains at Union Station, Worlds of Fun, Oceans of Fun, Deanna Rose…I could go on and on. Oh! I forgot about Shatto Dairy, the Museum at Prairie Fire…we live in a fantastic city!
But every once in awhile, we get the urge to hit the road and see what our neighboring states have to offer. Now, this isn’t as spontaneous as it sounds. This takes research and planning, because we like to do things on the cheap (hence no mention of places like Hawaii). My hope is that these suggestions will save you busy families time and money, when you’re looking for a chance to get out of town for a bit.
