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.

Although you are not in Venice, you can still treat yourself and your partner to an authentic gondola ride with Ambiance on the Water. Open from April through November, these romantic gondola rides travel down the relaxing waterway in the Country Club Plaza. Float under bridges, beside lovely fountains and see the majestic sights of nighttime Kansas City.

Enjoy a show in the outdoor Starlight Theatre, one of three remaining self-producing outdoor theaters in the country. An audience of up to 7,947 can view touring Broadway shows and concerts on its historic stage. This musical theater is one of the most famous theatrical and musical entertainment venues in the city, so be sure to stop by for a slice of KC culture.
