Kaleidoscope

It's definitely a cool place for kids to create Arts and it's FREE. They also validate 2 hours parking ticket at Crown Center. Each session is 50 mins. My little one had such a fun time drawing, making greeting cards and exploring lights. You only need to make reservation for big group (15 or more kids and adults) from Tuesdays-Friday, and they open for walk in only on Saturdays. They also have nice/clean bathroom, and handwashing station. After finishing the activity here, we stopped by the Hallmark Visitors Center next door.

It was free to get in, they covered 2 hours of parking in the garage nearby. There are many activities and stations for kids to be creative and they encourage taking art home. It got pretty crowded but not overwhelming. Great place to take kids. They loved it

We stopped here during a long weekend visit to KC. This is a great, free makers experience for kids. They don’t take reservations on Saturdays. Each session is 50 min. We got there early and stopped into the Hallmark Visitors Center nextdoor beforehand. My 5 year old enjoyed creating and pressing his own puzzle. There were lots of drawing, creating and exploring arts and crafts opportunities. Probably best for toddler-preschool aged kids.

Nice place! Lots of creativity for kids. Definitely ages 2-12 will enjoy this. Most of the activities are repeated but in different forms. It's a one and done for me, but kids will definitely like it again and again. Employees are really friendly and nice. You need to buy tickets in advance, so keep that in mind when planning your visit.

What an experience! An absolute must for kids!!!! We went with our 3yo and really enjoyed it. We did not make a reservation and walked in to the next available time, waited 15 min but went through the scavenger hunts in the visitors center which was perfect to keep the kiddos entertained.
