Like most Mill…read moreCreek streamway parks, this one has top quality jungle gym facilities, a shelter or multiple somewhere, and a restroom full service! The bike path is a continuation through all streamway parks, so you can spend all day on that - which I would remark is a beautiful way to spend an afternoon on a bicycle. The wonderful paving of this path must have cost a fortune! There is ample flat area to do family activities, and reasonable access to the streamway or any number of fishing activities can be underway. I'm really liking this entire streamway Park system throughout the city. Each of these parks is not particularly noteworthy, just a good small Park to enjoy an afternoon. More succinctly however, when considered as a whole unit, I would say this might be the biggest park in the city! Rates are reasonable for renting shelters, and this park particularly - tucked down nicely inside of a valley of sorts - blocks the wind, with an almost estate sort of feel. Very nice indeed!

My cousin is on a mission to find the best parks in the KC metro and had this one her list. So, one…read moreSaturday after dance class we made the trek (and it is a bit more of a trek from OP than I was expecting!) out to Wilder Bluff Park, and I have to say, this is a pretty great spot to bring the kids. I got the feeling that it's still a bit of a hidden gem, probably because it's in a bit of an out of the way location, because there weren't a ton of cars, and while there were plenty of kids playing, it didn't feel crowded like other parks do on a nice Saturday morning in June. This park boasts a ton of great amenities for kids, and our kids really enjoyed the tree houses that they could climb through, which entertained them for about an hour. There is also a really cool splash playground adjacent to it, which had we known about in advance we may have brought some swim gear so the girls could really enjoy it. The park itself I think is much bigger than just the playground area, as I saw some trails nearby that might would have been fun to explore had we been there longer, or with kids that were eager to walk rather than climb and run! I'll close by adding that this park is new-ish and super well maintained. We used the restrooms and they are really clean for a park. Overall, this park is a gem for the folks that live right around it. I'm sure we'll return on another nice weekend morning when we want a change of pace.

Then my granddaughters played in the splash park which they thoroughly enjoyed! Afterwards, they tried out all the neat equipment and they especially liked the long rope bridge and sliding down the slide. The park also has a trail and is kept up well and a large parking lot. The bathrooms were clean and overall very nice park. The only thing is I wish there was a little bit more shaded seating for the parents to watch the children during the splash park play.

It is fairly large park - 125 acres, and it's main feature seems to be a 10 acre stocked fishing lake. I enjoyed my tacos at a well maintained shelter house lakeside with functioning restrooms and running water. Plenty of geese and other nesting birds to watch. Modern children's playground equipment and woods for exploring. Unfortunately the tower at the 55th St. entrance has had the entrance welded shut and you can no longer climb to the top of the 60' tower. A nice urban park.

There are times when there is no smell, but this morning it's awful. The positives about this park is that it has a great bike path and walking trail that loops around the river. It has lots of wildlife and good birdwatching and the trail is recently repaved. My granddaughters input for this park is that it doesn't have enough play equipment and that the smell is terrible and there was a lot of trains running over the bridge that distracted from the quietness.

Suffice it to say, I couldn't possibly come back to this park. The smell is just too depressing. Why would you put this here? Is it a zoning joke? Somebody lose a bet? The streamway park system is really great throughout this city, connected almost succinctly with bike trails for miles and miles. But this streamway park closest to the landfill and the Kansas River I would definitely not ever visit. Absolutely not.

It…read morehas a good size parking lot, and 2 larger areas that are covered with picnic tables, and one has a stone fireplace. This park has a small pond with a water fountain in the middle, a walking trail surrounding the park. The park is made up of natural elements for kids to explore. There is a large wire climbing apparatus that is primarily for older kids. There is a slide that is built into the natural surroundings. The kids can explore by climbing on rocks or tree stumps or playing in the dirt. There is a home that has acreage with horses backed up to the park that families can quietly watch. There is a sign asking that no one feed or touch the horses. The negative about the park is that it's mostly in sun besides the two covered areas. It was not busy at all with just a few older people walking on the paved walking path. I would say this park is better for kids that appreciate natural elements and playing in them or are older to climb the playset. There is also a splash pad for the summer.

There is literally a class for everyone! There is cardio equipment, a large weight room, many racquetball courts, a pool, indoor track, and basketball courts. They also have a smoothie bar / beverage station. I wish I lived closer, but because they are so awesome, it is not going to deter me getting a membership. They also offer swim lessons for all levels at discounted member rates. The class I attended today was taught by Corey. She was great, enthusiastic, and the class was perfect for me!!! In cycle, you adjust the tension to your fitness level. The instructor will encourage you to increase your resistance also. It will keep you from slacking! I strongly urge everyone to give this place a shot. It is so fun and I can't wait to start spending my boring winter evenings there! They also have a sauna and whirlpool, I have not seen/used these yet, so I can't comment. I read one review that said it "smells upstairs" but I did not experience that. Mary, at the front desk was so friendly and accommodating, I was thrilled she showed me around. Another bonus is free use of locks! You just check your keys in and they give you a lock to use. The womens locker room is newly renovated, and they also offer towel service. I'm still giving them 5 stars, though, as other yelpers have discussed, the cardio room/equipment could use some updates. However, the machines work and I haven't noticed anyone waiting around for anything. Besides, I go there for the classes and will be using the pool, and tend not to spend a lot of time in the cardio area. They offer free childcare and tons of other programs/leagues. They even offer golf swing lessons, and massage therapy!!! I think they have done significant updates since other people have reviewed this place, so if you're thinking of checking it out, do it. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

I've spent innumerable hours at Kauffman Stadium as a summer job through high school and college,…read moreand now mostly as a fan. My favorite place in the stadium is the Hall of Fame museum. I recommend this to all baseball fans because not only will you see many pieces of memorabilia in Royals history but you can also see items on loan from the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Craft and Draft is my favorite restaurant to visit since I'm a big fan of craft beer. Here you can find a standing room only section that is first come first serve and TVs everywhere to watch the game. The tap list is just okay, but it's enough to get a small taste of some regional beer. I've liked seeing the creative ballpark foods Aramark invents. I tried a chili cheese corn dog on my most recent visit. I'm really going to miss this place when the new stadium opens. I have so many memories here and will continue to make a few more while The K is the home of the Royals.

One of my son and I's summer traditions is to visit a new MLB stadium while my hometown team…read moreHouston Astros play there. With my kiddo in grad school in the Midwest, Kauffman Stadium was logistically our stadium of choice this summer. I'm glad we did because we loved this stadium. Baseball and football are KC's biggest professional sports and both their stadiums sit right next to each other eastern part of the city. It is right off the highway and hard to miss with it's large crown facing the highway. I will say that the general area of the stadium is pretty boring with not much to do except come to the stadium. Parking is plentiful and it does come with a cost. Pay ahead of time to save time. The stadium is in it's 54th season but doesn't have an old feel to it. It actually had a very open feel to it with a large concourse that made walk around easy without being shoulder to shoulder. Hard to miss much of the game walking around as the stadium if very open with views from every angle. Tours are available which I usually do but didn't have time this time around. I like to always come when gates open to really explore the stadium before the game starts. The day I went, they had a t-shirt giveaway which I gladly took to add to my collection. I've been to stadiums where there isn't much to see other than the game itself. Here, there is alot to see. One of the coolest features is the hard to miss water feature which is one of the largest privately funded fountains in the world. They also have this tall video board which happens to be the tallest LED video display in baseball. There is a Hall of Fame museum in the stadium where you can walk in and see the history of the team complete with lots of memorabilia. This park is very family friendly too. They have the Outfield Experience where they have things like mini golf, pitching mounds, batting challenges, playgrounds and even a carousel. Another thing I judge a park by is there dining options. I like a park that embraces the area and features food you can't get at other stadiums. One thing KC is known for is BBQ and they showcase that with the famous Joe's KC BBQ on premises. I dined at the actual restaurant the day before but had to come get the famous Z-Man Sandwich to finish my culinary adventures in the city. They also have other unique offerings along with your usual baseball park staples. They also don't charge an arm and a leg food or merch which made my wallet extra happy. They have value menus at certain concession stands where you can get items for 5 bucks or less. I explored every corner of this stadium and I can say, it's one of my favorite stadiums to date. I highly recommend making this a stop if you are exploring stadiums like myself.
