There are inevitably going to be rainy, hot or cold days in Kansas City! We've created a list of indoor play spaces, museums, craft studios, and activities throughout the greater KC area. Go check out a local museum, get out wiggles, create together, or learn something new! We hope you enjoy and take advantage of this comprehensive guide.
This guide is sponsored by Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood - Now Open at Crown Center
Step into Daniel Tigerʼs Neighborhood – where Daniel and his friends help young children navigate their world, and parents guide their journey.
Play, sing, explore, and pretend in some favorite and familiar places from the Neighborhood. Try a fun activity, share a memory, and create grr-ific new ones on this beautiful day!
Daniel Tigerʼs Neighborhood brings the wisdom and life lessons of Fred Rogers to a new generation.
