"Younger kids will need an adult's supervision around the bigger kids. Wear comfortable shoes because you will be on your feet pretty much the whole time."

"Best 24 hour laundromat!"

"Crown Center is usually crowded on the weekends. The earlier a visit the better. A weekday trip would be great. Sea Life, Legoland, and Kaleidoscope are awesome for kids and adults."

"The Melting Pot has specials and a happy hour seven days a week. I recommend the Wisconsin Trio and Spinach & Artichoke cheeses. Also the Bananas Foster, Yin/Yang, and Smores chocolate fondues."

"This plaza branch is amazing! Check out the monthly events and programs scheduled. On Wednesday mornings babies up to age two can sing, dance, and play during story time. www.kiaraloveskc.com"

"In really cold weather most animals won't be seen but don't think a trip will be a bust. There's still a lot to explore. Polar Bear Passage, Helzberg Penguin Plaza, and the Discovery Barn for example."
