They have an interactive space on the top floor, and beautiful murals in the stairwells. The museum sponsors pop ups and is worth a follow on socials to keep up with that fun schedule. There is a bar space in the basement that has happy hour from 2-5 every day. Their martini espressos are top notch, and do not get me started on their giant chocolate chip cookies. Wow! In fact, I went back to the counter to get one for the road -- they were out! But before I left, the barista ran to catch me and nabbed me a piping hot cookie straight out the oven. Worth it!

The arena is in a very unique location and can be hard to find without a GPS. The back of the chairs were dusty. Some of the chairs were padded. Overall a good place for needing large space.

At about 5,000 capacity, it's a quarter of the size of its next-door companion facility, Kemper Arena. It's mostly used for livestock competitions of all varieties: rodeo, cutting horse, &c. -- as well as the exalted American Royal BBQ competition that occurs annually in October. Seats in the arena are bleachers, not very comfortable, but at least they have backs on the benches. There's a very nice little museum to the right of the entrance, worth a stroll through to see old photos & artifacts of the glory days of the stockyards & rodeos, as well as some cheesy-but-fun interactive exhibits for the little kids. Saddle up, y'all.

Last night we attended our first Kansas City Current match at CPKC Stadium…read more Having heard so many glowing reviews about the first stadium built specifically for a women's professional sports team, we were excited to experience both the venue and the atmosphere. Our first impression was the outstanding customer service. Whether it was the ticket takers, concession staff, or guest services team, everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming. The stadium itself was also immaculate. One of the best things about an 11,500-seat stadium is that there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The sightlines are excellent, and it's a quick walk to the concessions and restrooms from just about anywhere. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to install some of those Big Ass Fans beneath the roof overhang to help keep fans cooler on warm evenings. We were in Section 231, Row 18 on July 29. It was about 90 degrees with lower humidity and overcast skies. You could feel a nice breeze when walking through the concourse, but once we were back in our seats, the air felt warm and still. The new Morton Amphitheater uses these fans under its roof, and they make a noticeable difference. If CPKC Stadium is ever expanded, they would be a terrific addition. The match itself couldn't have been much better. The Current defeated Racing Louisville 5-1, and the first four goals were scored at our end of the field in the first half. We definitely picked the right side to sit on! Someone told us to stop by Guest Services for a complimentary First Match pin. Not only did we get the pin, but the two wonderful staff members also surprised us with a few extra pieces of Current swag, including a sticker and another pin. What a fantastic first experience. We can't wait to come back!

Upstairs is a discovery room that I want to like so much but it's just so poorly run.

Worth a visit on a free day or with a pogo pass but I wouldn't pay for it.

I was so excited to go to the Prairie fire museum and I took the kids from the YMCA. I was…read moretemporarily disabled and on crutches so I figured I would just get a wheelchair and be able to go through the museum independently. I have been in hundreds of museums since that is my background and I never dreamed I would run into an issue of the museum not having a wheelchair. The wheelchair they had was flimsy and had to be pushed by another person. If you were disabled, you cannot go through the museum with a wheelchair at your own leisure. These are the things a museum decides before they even build the building. I couldn't even use their Scooter for a walker. So if you are disabled, you'll have to bring somebody to push you around in that silly so-called wheelchair. I was profoundly disappointed and the museum really needs to address this. I've been to museums all over the world and never once have I had this issue. I also didn't think I have this issue in Johnson County. Review your accessibility issue and that should've been done a long time ago. I won't return and I certainly won't be taking kids back.

It is the basement bar in a 4 floor food/drink and entertainment complex in Quality Hill. There is an entrance on Broadway or an interior staircase. We visited for an 8pm jazz set from the local band River Cow Orchestra. The space has tables, booths and a large bar with a dance floor. The staff was friendly and fun and worked hard to promote their food menu, although we did not eat. Speakeasy or not, I'm glad Hush is providing a venue for jazz artists to stay employed and keep the city's heritage alive.

Reunited, and it felt so good! My only challenge was the smoke--it was really strong and honestly brought me back to the '80s a bit more than I'd like. Maybe when the weather is nicer and they can open the garage door to air things out, it will be better. That said, I loved stopping by today for what are, in my opinion, the best tacos north of the river.

Our waitress was friendly and I appreciate that the owner was providing a table of free food as an option since the kitchen wasn't operational yet, There were bags of chips, nuts and several boxes of Pizza Hut pizza that he had delivered. My only complaint was that I was served a drink with the cheap margarita mix when ordering a "Top Shelf Margarita", they should always be made with fresh. I will be eager to return and check out the food menu when available.

On the way, asked the facilities man where a good place to go for lunch would be. TR, recommended Rays Diner. In addition, he offered to show us the pools. He had stories about TJ's pool that had a wheel chair ramp for FDR. Thinking back to the 30's, this building was quite an architectural feat. He said the main pool,was already built when Eleanor Roosevelt's wanted the therapy pool for FDR, the engineers put it outside, then covered it with a porch. The pools,were flooded in 1993. I hope they get the funding to renovate. Very cool historic place with the nicest people. Thanks again Theodore Ray!
