An amazing place to train. You can tell from meeting Tyson and Muriel that they genuinely care…read moreabout people and creating a welcoming environment. The level of instruction and skill here is excellent. I can honestly say this is one of the best BJJ schools I've ever attended. If you're over 40 and feel intimidated about trying BJJ, give this place a shot. The atmosphere is supportive, the coaching is top-notch, and you'll feel comfortable from day one.

Joining this gym ended up being one of the best decisions I could have made during a really…read moredifficult season of my life. I was struggling personally and feeling pretty disconnected from myself, and although my husband and several friends trained here and encouraged me to try it, I honestly wasn't convinced it would be for me at first. For a while, I just sat and watched classes. People always say the hardest part is walking onto the mat for the first time, and I've found that to be completely true--but also completely worth it. Seeing how much my son enjoyed the kids' program, along with encouragement from friends, finally gave me the confidence to start training myself. Now I attend both the women's self-defense classes and the coed Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes, and each has helped me grow in different ways. The instruction is outstanding. Tyson Kilbey and the other instructors have created an environment that is supportive, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable to be part of. They break techniques down in a way that makes learning approachable, no matter your experience level. What surprised me most is how much this gym has impacted me outside of training. It's helped me rebuild confidence, become more comfortable taking up space, and feel stronger mentally as well as physically. The people here have created something really special, and this gym has become a place I truly look forward to every week.

Heritage Park is pretty great for a variety of reasons: it's HUGE, it has tons of walking/hiking…read morepaths, it has a massive soccer complex, and honestly there is likely even more I haven't explored. It's pretty far south, so plan to drive even if you live in central JOCO like me - it's a solid 25 mins. It's convenient for me to visit when I'm out near my parent's new house though so that's a perk and has been what brings me here on occasion. A few years ago we also did soccer here and honestly I'd recommend doing soccer elsewhere. Parking is horrible and it's kind of a cluster. Overall the park itself is nice and fun to explore, but up to you on if it's worth the drive.

I went back for the first time in probably 15 years for the nostalgia and I was happy to say it is exactly the same- in the best way. First off, the drive out there is beautiful (if you like Kansas drives, probably not so much if you're from out of town). $4 entry and all drinks/snacks are $2 each. They did add a new 4 slide feature but everything else is the same- the two big slides, the lily pads, the frog where you slide down the tongue, and the limited amount of chairs. What's also the same is how clean and well-kept it is. It's also right next to a park so you can make a nice day out of it with the family!

It can baffle the mind how few people are aware of this feline sanctuary. They are doing great work…read morehere for these big cats and a few other animals in their care. And every paid visit helps continue what they're doing for these creatures. A visit here includes detailed information about the sanctuary, its founders, and all the animals in their care. Crazy rescue stories, behavior and personalities of the big cats, and the expansion plans in progress to give more area to the animals. Located in Louisburg, KS, it can be a long drive to get there from downtown Kansas City, but it's totally worth it. And if you can, be sure to come during feeding time for even more educational information about the diets of these beautiful animals.

Our tour guide was very informative, but may have tried to relay too much information as several in our group tended to wander as if losing interest. The group was 50/50 adults and children. The group in front of us moved out of sight while the group behind, caught up and had to wait, due in particular to our guide imparting a lot of information. I was touched by the fact that these animals came from private homes where they were neglected for the most part and in some cases, abused. I think Cedar Cove has done an excellent job caring for these wonderful creatures. It's a drive out but worth the trip to learn and support their efforts.

It seemed like a good idea at the time since it was only 10-15 minutes but I had no idea what I was getting myself into. My car was broken into several times, radar detectors stolen, license plates stolen, house vandalized and that was in the NICE area of Raymore! When we reported anything to the Raymore Police they never ever followed up or did anything to prevent it happening again (like send a patrol car out for anything other than speeding tickets). The taxes are higher than Kansas City but the level of service is lower. The city has the 'small town' gossip is good mentality along with all the drama of the local bar owners cheating on their wives with waitresses. Sadly there seemed like A LOT of drug use in the area, it seems like Meth was the thing all the 'locals' were into. After living all over the world, including Kansas and Missouri for 15+ years the only place I would never ever live again is Raymore. I have all my teeth, a job, a car and don't use drugs so I was just not a good fit for Raymore :)
