Autopia

Whether you want to swim, splash or just doze by the poolside, the Springs Aquatic Center is the perfect place for single people or entire families to have some fun in the sun. This aquatic recreation hot spot holds almost one million gallons of water in its pools, slides and playgrounds.

If you prefer fun-based adrenaline rushes over fear-based, check out the Power Play Family Entertainment Center where people of all ages can have a great time experiencing all kinds of recreational fun. Climb a rock wall, race in the go-karts, get dizzy in a tilt-a-whirl, take out your aggression in bumper cars, compete in laser tag and much, much more.

Spend eight weeks in the Kemper Arena with American Royalty—American Royal Livestock, that is. This annual livestock show, horse show and rodeo has been a Kansas City tradition since 1899, and showcases the finest animal and agricultural events in the area. Ranked one of the top five rodeos in the nation, you will not want to miss out on any of the excitement!
