Peppermint Patty's Preschool & Day Care

Get close to nature through the floral attractions at the Powell Gardens, where the whole family can get active as well as educated. Learn about the different plants, trees, vegetables, fruits and herbs as you walk through the gatehouse, perennial garden, harvest garden and more. Sneak in some exercise along the scenic Nature Trail or relax as the kids play in the interactive Fountain Garden.

Shoot some pool with your buddies at the Brass Rail, Kansas City's premier restaurant, sports bar and pool hall. Watch your favorite college or pro team play on the numerous big-screens and HDTVs as you sip on some of your favorite brews and beverages, or participate in one of the pool or dart tournaments.

When KC’s original symphony orchestra was dissolved in 1982, the philanthropist R. Crosby Kemper Jr. insisted on creating the Kansas City Symphony. Since its formation, this new symphony orchestra has served as a vital part of the music community. Listen to their music at a show or sample before you purchase tickets by hearing their music on the radio or a CD.

Head to the western suburbs for a day to Wonderscope Children’s Museum of Kansas City. Discover the wonders of education in this converted elementary school. Every room has a different theme, from space to physics to arts and crafts and more! Children of all ages (and children at heart) will love the exhibits at this fun, entertaining museum.
