The weather is getting warmer, kids are getting ready to end another school year and the dreaded question comes: ”What are we going to do this summer?”
For those who planned ahead, good for you! For those who did not, you may be tempted to use that plastic card sitting in your desk drawer. RESIST THE TEMPTATION! There are plenty of things to do around KC that are free or that cost very little money.
For those who live up North: this coming Friday, May 7th Festival Foods, located on 1-35 and Chouteau Trafficway will have a movie night. It begins at sunset. They will be showing the Disney Pixar movie “Cars” and admission is free. Plus they'll be supplying free popcorn and free water. All you have to do is bring a lawn chair. Based on the turnout, this could be a monthly event (call ahead at 816-452-6803 to check for future dates). Next movie night is scheduled for Friday, May 28th. Also, you can call and suggest what movies you want to watch!
Downtown: Kaleidoscope is a location where kids can “explore, create, imagine, and do”. If you have a child who loves to color, paint or draw you need to take them here. This is a favorite of my seven year old and best of all, it’s free! And taking a stroll through the Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings in the River Market area is always free. Or, it can also be a good place to spend money wisely by getting good deals on fresh produce.
If you're near the Plaza, don’t forget to check out the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
Johnson County: Deanna Rose’s Children Farmstead is a place where kids can go and see farm animals, play in the garden, go fishing in the pond, ride a horse drawn wagon, and so much more! Admission is free as well.
Let’s not forget that no matter where you live, there is a park close by. Turn off the video games, TV, and cell phone off and enjoy a day with the family. Have a picnic, play ball, or go for a stroll. Best of all you’ll be spending time with your loved ones and doing it without breaking the bank!
What other suggestions do you have to do around KC for free? |
