We're traveling and we do escape rooms all over the states. This one was THE BEST !!!…read more So I didn't tell my youngest who HATES horror that it was that type of escape room so he did not want to come. He was soooo mad at me. When you get there, there is a video on the screen. That is NOT what it's like. Thank Goodness !! He looked at that video and was even more livid. I asked the lady can the scare actors not go hard on him. I pointed to the video and she said Oh, that's in L.A. where it's bigger and much more. After everything was said and done, my son loved it. He said Okay, that was pretty great. All of us agreed that it was the best one that we've done out of a dozen.

As there is no fee to enter they asked that you bring unwrap toys for boys and girls. After you have driven thru the path you can park and go thru the barn that had ghost, ghouls and scary monsters . You must make a reservation and come at the time slot/date you selected. Our time slot was 9:30 and it was very busy

We absolutely love going to Jack's Hollow every year! It's a true gem for the KC Horror community…read more There is a suggested donation of an unopened/unused and unwrapped toy that will later be wrapped and given to children in need during the holiday season (if you can't find a toy, they accept Venmo donations!). The event itself is multi-layered. You first turn your radio to their personal station and drive through some haunted woods filled with animatronics, carved pumpkins, and some living(?) characters, too. It's kind of like holiday lights, but spooky! After you park, you can walk through the outdoor decor. There is PLENTY of neat things to look at, especially their huge, handmade animatronics. You can purchase apple cider slushies and popcorn if you're hungry, and there is a port-o-potty if you're worried about peeing your pants Finally, you can go inside to walk through a life-sized replica of the Evil Dead house, you can curl up on a couch and watch the Halloween Tree or go inside and watch a grown up spooky movie. There are other scenes to walk through, too. This is fun for all ages, the people that run the event are so sweet. They make and keep up the scenes and do so out of the kindness of their hearts. So, if you want a fun place to explore without getting too scared, or you want to see some fantastic craftsmanship, I recommend going to Jack's Hollow asap. You can sign up for a visit on their webpage!

Bold. New. Plays. The Unicorn Theatre features mostly…read moreoriginal work, with several World Premires each season. The cast draws from the best local talent. I love that they have 2 theater spaces so they are able to adapt the room to the show. The concessions feature alcohol, coffee, and non alcohol options. They allow you to bring drinks purchased there, and most shows will have an intermission. Parking is available in the lot north adjacent, the lot south of the structure, behind 39th and Main, or on Baltimore, one block West. Do not park on main street. The street car runs right in front.

The Unicorn offers up a slice of Broadway on Main Street, KCMO. I daresay it was the most enjoyable…read moretheater experience I've had since seeing Cabaret several years ago at Studio 54. Why? Because the theater offers top notch entertainment (they advertise that they produce "the hippest BoldNewPlays"). But it's more than that. Often the top notch entertainment bit is all you can ask for when going to the theater. Since childhood, I've been going to see many a Broadway Play that cost well over 200 dollars a ticket (some are up to 400 dollars a ticket. I don't lie!) and despite my petite stature (I'm freaking SHORT), I feel absolutely cramped and miserable in a seat that if it were on an airplane, at least it would be soon be spitting me out in a foreign land at those prices! I know, I know. Theater is expensive. Many theaters are old and that is part of the charm. The history, right? Of course. I'm a sucker for all of that, too, don't get me wrong. The theater in which I saw Grey Gardens the Musical offers spacious, comfortable seating in an extremely intimate environment. It's a modern theater, sure, but I was able to stretch my legs out, cross them even, and shift in my seat (OK, I'm restless when sitting for more than an hour), while enjoying the show. I believe there isn't a bad seat in the house. Grey Gardens blew me away. The sound was absolutely stellar and the performances were perfection. Everyone agreed that Drew and Jessica were on point with their GG performances. The actresses last night were just as good. I am not exaggerating. Blew. Me. Away. As Big Edie would say, "You CAN have your cake and eat it, too, in this life." Thank you, Unicorn for existing and making a quality theater experience a sure thing in Kansas City.

The lobby is dark but comfortable with worn couches (like a living room). Everyone was quite friendly. The play was ok, not my favorite but this is a review of the space and not the play. The seating for the theatre was good and comfortable. There wasnt a bad seat in the house. and the stage was a nice size and well lit. They served drinks and popcorn too. The bathrooms are upstairs and single use so during intermission there was quite a line which I could see being an issue at times. We didnt get to see a show in the "Living Room" I think it sounds interesting and I would like to try it. Its a quaint theatre and everyone working was super friendly. Its a pleasant surpirse to find new fun places in town.

What a lovely afternoon to see the finale of Color Purple…read more KC Repertory- Spencer Theatre located with UMKC campus is right on the edge of Cherry. Parking can fill up early and not too many handicapped spots so dropping of my mom at the door was next best thing. Once inside, so many smiling patrons around. We headed to the bar, to checkout drink and food offerings. The Color Purple color changing cups held drinks. We tried: Frozen Sangria, Frozen guava lemonade (NA) and Vieux Carré cocktail. All were delicious! Adrian and LaVera were helpful and patient bartenders. There were a few vendor tables to checkout, including a The Black Repertory Theatre of Kansas City promoting the upcoming productions. And for the most interactive fun, a tablet Photo Booth station, where the resulting picture had play brand border. There was an air of excitement, enthusiasm and friendly people all around. Our seats in the Terrace were very nice. Comfy seats, aisles with amble markers and space to pass as long as you stood up and the elevation of slopes for tiered seating was perfect, whereas we had a clear sight line to the stage. This made the acoustics and sound have a great quality and clarity. The entire cast was phenomenal. The well known story translated well onto stage. The drama, tragedy, triumphs, comedic timing was felt in every word, lyrics and various musical scores from entire company.

KC Rep is SO GOOD!! We have season tickets and love all of their shows!!…read more The company is very talented and every show is unique with a new cast and so many talented people involved in every product production from the people that build the sets to the costumes and make up people and those who run the lights and sound. This latest production of Emma, which was staged at UMKC was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen! My wife agreed. It was a very interesting adaptation of Emma from Jane Austen. They also perform shows at Copaken Theater in the H&R Block building. Both locations are wonderful and we've seen such incredible shows as Brokeology, and Lady Day to name a couple. If you can attend a KC Rep production, I highly recommend it. We love supporting this theater because for one show every season they take it on the road and perform it for free at several locations all around the metro. They believe theater is for everyone not just people of means. That makes me love this company even more.

How disappointing. I don't like making any comments this bad but service here is like yelling out…read morethe window. No one cares. The ambiance: I told the managers the sound was too loud, nothing happened. There was no moving air. Let me repeat that, no air conditioning in theater 6. I told the managers, there different times and the response was a dismissive shrug. How much should someone pay for popcorn and a drink? Is $15 reasonable? I don't get it. Friday night this place should be inviting crowds - not running them off. To sum it up, I won't be back. Zero stars for service. (Yelp will now allow a zero rating)

I love seeing movies in the theaters, but less and less at this one…read more Things have really changed in the movie industry over the last decade, and I want to support and see them when I can. It can be a bit pricey, but it's worth it as a family thing to do from time to time IMO. This theater used to feel like the premium option, complete with comfortable seats and clean for the most part. The tough part is multiple times we've been here, there's been a large police presence due to huge groups of kids taking over and messing with everybody. It's a weird feeling to get caught in that when you've got a three year old with you cosplaying as Moana, and have to explain it's time to get out quick at the end. Another time they had to evacuate a theater and adjacent Target because of a massive fight and potential shooter. Fun times, but also just "times" in America. But for the theater, they have a gigantic bucket of popcorn for around $10 that comes with free refills (good deal to split among family). The bathrooms are nice and clean, the theaters remains comfortable, and all in all it's an alright place to see a movie. I just find myself driving a little further to see them at other theaters more often than this one these days.

It's impossible to visit Screenland and not feel the love of movies and the movie going experience all around you. Don't let the small size scare you away - even with some smaller theater sizes, they're dedicated to excellent quality of picture and sound. They seek feedback from their fellow movie goers to bring back nostalgic favorites, create events like outdoor movies and festivals, show movies that may have never seen a full theater release, partner with local businesses to create custom collectible ticket stubs for special screenings, even show movies on 35 & 70mm film - a rare occurrence in the US and something very special. Screenland's greatest, and my favorite, quality is that it naturally offers true sense of community - every time I'm there, strangers are interacting in small ways over their shared love of movies and unique experiences. Cheesy, but I think any other Screenland frequenter would agree.
