The Heartland Center is a retreat and conference center run by the Presbyterian Church with a variety of levels of accommodations from hotel-style rooms to campgrounds to dorm style. Food is served in a dining hall and activities include horseback riding, ropes courses, a pool and more. The Staff it great, conference rooms are perfect for many sizes of events and the space is overall very clean. If you need a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a home base from which to explore the KC area or a site to hold a company or church training/retreat, be sure to put the Heartland Center on your list.

It's a step up from what the city offers and is a bit more expensive, but less intense than KC Ballet, which was what I was looking for. The only reason I'm going 4/5 is because the complex is massive and for folks like me that are only coming once a week for a class it was really hard to find where I needed to go on day one and the folks at the front desk had no idea where the dance classes were held. They were very nice though so that did soften the blow. Now that I know where to go it's all smooth sailing and I'd recommend them to others.

The staff are blatantly discriminatory and rude. They don't have any customer service skills and…read moredon't seem to want any. One of the staff members at the concession stand never addressed me, I had to ask if I could place an order. Even when she responded "yeah", she didn't look up. Once she placed my order and I handed her my debit card, she threw it back at me instead of handing it to me. She never said 'thank you', 'have a good day' or anything. It is very disheartening and I will not be returning where I don't feel welcome or respected. The Jewish Community Center is not following their stated values of inclusivity and community. Each time I have visited I've been faced with blatant discriminatory practices. The staff have been downright rude and appear to be very nonchalant when this concern has been brought to their attention. I will not be frequenting this place or spending my money here when the staff can't even give basic respect and kindness.

We got through all the lines in less than the 3 hours and went to have lunch afterwards at a decent time. Only thing I'd change is renting the GoPro, our phones were just as good. And I was handed an SD card that I had to ask around to borrow an adapter. Would've been better if it was a usb drive or they gave me a link. Other than that little hiccup we had a wonderful time on a great day. 100% recommend

WARNING: Do NOT waste your money here -- this business is a total scam!…read more I bought Groupon vouchers last winter for a specific family outing, only to discover later that the business was completely unresponsive. No one answered the phone, their website showed no available dates, and out of frustration I even drove an hour to their location--only to find nothing happening. A month later, I received an email stating they were "closed for the winter." Nowhere -- not on the Groupon listing, their website, or their voicemail -- did they mention being seasonal. When I tried to use my vouchers later, they refused to honor them. Even worse, the operators openly admitted that they continue to sell Groupon vouchers during the winter to "boost sales," fully knowing they're closed and that customers can't use them. That's deceptive and unethical. Bottom line: This company hides behind Groupon to take your money and then refuses to stand behind their product. Avoid them entirely -- don't fall into the same trap I did!

I was invited to their auction, Skylines and Sweets, and it was wonderful- although I was surprised it was a dry event. I think people bid more if they've been drinking too. ;) It was fun to learn about all that Camp Fire offers for kids and does for the community. And the auction items were wonderful- trips, experiences, jewelry, etc. I'll definitely attend their next event.

We had a loop in mind to let the kids see the creek. The closed trails weren't marked anywhere so we ran into places where we just had to backtrack the same way twice. I will be back but I probably won't take my kids again until I know which trails are closed. There was also a lot of nettles along the trail so I had to keep my son away from those.

This gym is more interested in selling classes in addition to the membership. You don't have to…read morejoin the classes, but the problem is when the classes take up all the usable space and members are left with little to none. For example, youth swim lessons and water aerobics take up the entire pool area on Saturdays, making it impossible if you would like to swim laps. "Alpha" fitness classes have two areas that take up a significant portion of the upstairs gym, and they run classes constantly. On top of all this, the equipment that is left for members to use (i.e. benches and machines) are old and falling apart. I personally had a pin slip from an adjustable bench when I had it set to incline for bench press. I fell back with it and chipped my tooth. For the money you pay and for the money they add for extra classes and "events", they should really have better stuff for the general membership. It presents as though little regard is given to the overall members.

The 2 rides are pretty fun, my pre teens still like visiting and love Lego's. Decided to turn a no school day into a visit here after a year after my last visit. I've been for birthday parties and had season passes when my kiddos were littles. A bit of a bummer that the 3D Lego theater was down for maintenance but love that they have 4 different movies showing when it's up and running. Race track, ninja obstacle course, virtual game for an extra $7, snack bar and so much more were visited. Easily spend the day. Love that the tickets allow same day reentry but not a fan of the parking situation, it's a bit confusing but not terrible. Not enough to detour a visit but a heads up to prepare . Activity room as also closed, so if your wanting to ensure an all access visit, probably good to call ahead. Love that it's an option and worth the day visit!
