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!

This unique zoo contains over 200 animals found on farms throughout the nation, many of which are featured in the Petting Zoo. Gather freshly-laid eggs, milk a cow, bottle-feed a baby goat, ride a pony and more on this fun, interactive and educational farm.
