FOUR DIMENSIONS OF DISCOVERY Do you have a little one who loves playing with LEGO blocks? You can give them a rare opportunity to surround themselves with millions of them at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Kansas City! Located on the south side of Crown Center Square, this unique theme park boasts the ultimate indoor LEGO playground, encourages guests to build their own LEGO creations, and provides visual adventures via its 4-D movie theater! (Note: No adults are permitted without at least one child under 17.) PREHISTORIC PLAYTIME If you have a dinosaur-loving youngster still too young for the Jurassic Park films, the Prehistoric Putt mini golf course in Independence is a nice alternative. This lighthearted destination features three courses (including an adult one that offers alcohol), indoor basketball, an arcade, foosball, a batting cage, and other attractions. WHIMSICAL WORLDS, ENCHANTING ENCOUNTERS Now in its 47th year, the Kansas City Renaissance Festival in Bonner Park easily stands as one of the largest events of its kind in the U.S. Attracting 200,000 attendees each year, this child- and dog-friendly festival has plenty to offer before wrapping up for the season on Oct. 14. The Enchanted Forest is home to “Fairy Time Treats,” a twice-daily weekend gathering that thrills young ones with vibrant stories and special treats and gifts. If you and your partner desire a more adult-oriented afternoon, the fair’s “Royal Romance Package” is an excellent choice. The hourlong experience includes champagne, a charcuterie board, a shareable dessert, and a personal server.
