Kaleidoscope: what do users think?
Wylie Momma: Great, free place to take kids. It was definitely better and more aesthetically pleasing before they remodeled it, but still a neat thing for kids to do and you can't beat free.Visited on Weekday Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry Free …More
K: I love that it’s free and gives kids the opportunity to be creative with all sorts of different art materials. I would highly recommend checking it out if you have kids. Be sure to book tickets online though because spots fill up fast. You can’t just show up and get a same day ticket. They have a certain amount of guests per time a lot. It is wheelchair accessible and stroller friendly so when you go in you can just park your stroller near the pictures of clouds and you don’t have to worry about it. They should give you a 2 hour free parking pass. Be sure that you are parking in the right area beforehand though. I parked in the wrong parking garage and had to pay full price.

Amanda Donovan: I wasn’t expecting things to look so dull and sterile. This isn’t what I recall from my childhood. I was really excited to get an opportunity to finally take my 5YO, based on what I remember. There wasn’t much to do besides draw on different cuts of paper with dried out markers, water color that was murky from kids not rinsing their brushes, and melted crayon wax. All the stations looked almost exactly the same, minus one space that had a wheel of fabric. I recall the space with a much more whimsical feel to it, now it’s just white and minimalist with a little bit of color. It makes me think it was designed with Ikea products? It’s very underwhelming.My 5YO struggled to stay focused, as all stations were almost identical. I could tell she wasn’t that thrilled because when she is engaged and excited, I struggle to pull her away, and she sometimes becomes upset (this happens at Science City a lot—she LOVES it. We had time to stop by after thankfully and utilize our membership passes). We walked out with no issue, she could care less.Disappointed to say the least. I know it’s free, but considering the waitlist is weeks long, I was anticipating her to experience the same magic I seem to recall from my childhood, like many fellow KC Native reviewers before me had mentioned. I don’t feel like she experienced that feeling, and felt no inspiration to create—nor did I to come up with creative ideas with her. Very much unlike her, she loves to craft and create! Maybe if a more similar theme to the old one had been designed in the remodel, she’d have enjoyed herself more. This is for kids, after all. I don’t feel like the current look sparks creativity as the old look did. Maybe I’m just being too reminiscent.The staff was very friendly though, so 5/5 for them.
Alasha Rainez: Loved this as a kid and can't wait for my son age 2 gets to go experience it soon. I'll be booking soon for him.
marina coon: My son loved it so much! Can't wait to take my daughter
dalton thomas: We took the kids out for fun but by far we loved it just as much
Cecil Bills: This an awesome interactive art shop for young children. The only limits is their imagination .
Queen Bree: Love this place
Krystina Tiger: A fun free thing to do with kids, I was expecting a little more but for not paying anything I can't complain.
SterlingJamie Bryant: Really enjoy coming to Kaleidoscope!They are definitely giving kids a great experience with creative arts and crafts, and free of charge at that!As a parent, I did find there to be a little less variety since they remodeled during the pandemic. I heard from the front desk that is more friendly to kids on the spectrum in different ways. I definitely support that.One of favorite stations that my kids enjoyed was the watercolors, on the back corner of the room. They even made hats!When we visited most recently, we were walk ins. I do suggest doing your best to reserve a time slot ahead of time.I would also advise coming earlier in the day. Their last session begins at 2:30p and ends at 3:20p.The front desk is less likely to help you enter as a walk in towards the end of the day but if you arrive before the beginning of a session, you are more likely to grab a spot as long as you have your kiddos with you!I will be coming back again with my wife and kids very soon and I recommend Kaleidoscope to anyone with kids that lives within driving distance of Kansas City, keeping in mind that there are many other things to do and places to visit within Crown Center and downtown KC.Atmosphere:5Family Experience:5Friendliness of Staff:4.5Homeschooling Activity:5
Zach Hyatt: Was incredibly disappointed. I remember this place being colorful and abstract and you knew what to do at the stations. There was neon lights you could color. Now it’s just so basic and minimal to no color. It’s all just coloring station with markers that don’t work. Save for a small wax station and water color paint area. It was awful. We left before our time session was even up. We were bored and didn’t know what to do or make. They used to have station that you could make different crafts at and you were actually learning to make something now it’s just paper and fading markers.
Becca Shideler: 14, 10, 8, and 4 year old all had fun at this place. O and us parents too! So many fun activities for the kids to do, and completely free! Only thing is make sure and get your tickets in advance. My kids left with so many new creations. They even had fun games for the kids to play if they were tires of arting. 10 year old made a chicken beak, that has made its way into a special spot so it wouldn't get crushed. 14 and 4 year old left with capes. But the 8 year old got the best prize of all she got a special Birthday sticker! She told the staff her birthday was tomorrow, and the brought out this cute sticker for her to wear.
kelsey guiot: It has completely changed, lost of coloring stations, a small puzzle making machine, water coloring station, wax drip station but that's pretty much it. Nice bathrooms. I recommed calling ahead to reserve a spot or at least to know when they are letting people in. You only have so long before your session is done btw i didn't know it was a limited time. All and all clean and open... but it was more fun when i was a kid, more to do anyway.
Kris Bever: We really enjoyed our visit. Our kids had a good time and so did we.
Michael DePriest Sr.: Long time Kansas City staple I took my grandson. I remember going as a child.
kmhemeyer: We had an okay time. It wasnt the same experience that i remember as a child although they had similar components. Very open ended. For me as a parent i would like to know what i should be doing at each station to help guide my young chidren. They just scribbled on odd shapped paper and then did the same at the next station. My kids rated it a 4. I would say 2 because we can do the same activities at home.
Amanda Quisenberry: Went today and my daughter loved it she is 6. But I remember going as a child and even a few years back when I babysit other children and it was so much more magical and the decor was more fun. I’m not a fan of the minimalist look they have going on there from the remodel. I was hoping they would have made it a lot more magical and artistic like it was when I was a kid. I miss the black lights in the room as well which was my favorite part.

Robert Walding: Arcade was great hit the jackpot on multiple games! Staff were really friendly and helpful. There was a three hour unlimited pass for mini golf and go karts, and for some reason you could only buy it at certain times. Otherwise they have been getting more up to date
Carrie Porter: It was honestly super lame. MostOf the game machines ate your coins or didn’t give you your tickets. Or didn’t work.The mini golf was poorly maintained. The only ok thing was the go karts. Overall I do regret spending my money here. It just sucks and total waste. But the employees are super cool! Just won’t be returning

steffh blackmon: Love it but looking for fun places for kids age 5
Liah Bruckner: I brought my son here today 5/5/2023. It was at 5:30 and they were not busy at all. There was one helpful older gentleman who told me to get tokens from the machine and not the counter because you don’t have to pay tax. Other than that every young person working here was rude and not helpful. They were all standing in a circle talking, not wanting to be interrupted. When I went to the counter originally for tokens the young woman working argued with a young guy on who would help me. They were two feet in front of me arguing about helping me. It was awkward. I finally said “can anyone just get me some tokens.” That’s when the older gentleman told me about the machine. We used the terminator shooting game and only one side worked, the other took my coins. Several of the machines took the tokens but wouldn’t play. With the rude teenagers working there it was pointless to ask for our tokens back. We then went to get food from their snack shack.. the two people working said order from up there and pointed to the front desk and walked away from us.. so we didn’t even bother. We wanted to play mini golf, but couldn’t get anyone to help us get golf clubs. Overall the workers really ruined the experience for us. We won’t be back. Super disappointed because this was a staple of both mine and my partners childhood that we had hoped to share with our son. Hoping they see this review and make the necessary changes in employment to make this place thrive again.
Krista Donovan: I highly suggest buying your tickets from Groupon. If you try to buy them off cool crest's website and head in shortly after the staff will tell you it takes 24 hours for it to register in their system. This was very inconvenient. They had to issue a refund (which can take 5-7 days) and buy then purchase the tickets from them in person at the desk for a higher price. Other than that, the go-karts were really fun! Mini golf could use some nice decor or something to liven it up. Arcade was a little on the run down side. Some of them were out of order and/or displayed low tickets signs. My kids enjoyed it though so that made it worth it.
David & Keri Birk: Great family fun

Linda Marois: Nice zoo for young family. Clean.I just revised my previous review from 3 to 4 stars. The zoo was very clean and kids friendly. My grandchildrens specially like to pet the stingrays. The food was overpriced. For the five of us: 1 pizza, 1 burger, 1 fries and 3 hot dogs for 48.50 US. No drinks...We skipped the blue portion of the zoo (elephants, girafe, etc) as it was a bit too far to walk and there was a huge line up for the train, so the kids didn't want to go.

Michael Glore: There were some animals not out on display because it wasn't hot enough for them. This was the 3rd week of June (upper 80s), so I'm guessing they may only be out July and part of August. The staff was friendly.

Anusha B K: The zoo is huge and has lot of animals.The animal adventure show was disappointing. It was just a 15 mins show with 2-3 birds. I have seen better shows in other zoos. We wasted our time just to attend the show and couldn’t cover rest of the zoo.Few of the exhibit like giraffe and polar bear weren’t there because of the weather.Also there was a lot of wait time for the boat ride.Need a whole day to cover the entire zoo.
Elizabeth Davis: We love the zoo. The penguins and the stingray's are our favorite. Lots of indoor places to cool off. Plus the boat is up and running. It is such a cool experience!Visited on Weekday Wait time 10–30 min Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry $11–15 …More
Vince Benedetto: I appreciate all the work the staff put into taking care of all the critters!!Had a great experience, been upwards of 15 years since I visited and overall enjoyable.This time gap gives me an interesting perspective now, after so many years of projects and upgrades. Knowing there's tons of money being pumped into the zoo overall helps my feelings, but still feel the need to express thisI was tremendously under-impressed by the lack of relatively recent monies and updates put into the whole North sector of the Zoo. All the old cat/bear cages are great ideas for reuse, free and easy to throw smaller mnkeys, cats and birds in there. But it's 90% identical to my childhood in the 90's and I left that area disappointed. Felt like they were all relegated to that area, while the spotlight shines on the more popular animals.

Matt Tessier: I hate to leave a three star review. It’s an impressive zoo, and we saw some cool things, but the ride situation is out of control. It seems like everything is a paid “add-on” once you get inside after having paid a high admission price. The train ride was probably 100 yards and the “tram ride” takes you like 150 ft, and after you pay for that, you find out it’s not round trip! Then the sky ride is extra money…then the carousel is extra money….then the boat ride is extra money…then feeding the stingrays is extra money. Felt extorted once inside. Very sad to leave such a review for my wife’s childhood zoo, because there are some good memories there, but the ride situation is unfortunate

Diane Yzar: Fun place for the entire family. We arrived soon after a thunderstorm. Many rides were shut down for about an hour. Many people were kept away due to recent rains. That kept lines short and more enjoyable for us.
Riley Lyons: Wow.... What a terrible amusement park. Cedar Fair really just takes your money and doesn't care if you have fun or if the rides are safe. Some of the rides are incrediblely rough and ride operators barley check safety belts and lap bars. My wife's seat belt wasn't checked on the timberwolf. A ride that killed someone in the 90's. Also the Mamba was so rough on the return it hurt my back. Bad enough I'm still dealing with pain almost two weeks later.This park has multiple world themes much like Epcot but a rinky dink version. Theming was sparse and only visual employees were just there to take money and push buttons. Several rides were down throughout the day. The food was chicken fingers and burgers at every vendor. Or you can pay 4x the regular price for panda Express or the parks version of Chipotle. Overall I'm never returning to this park.Price for entry: $65.00
Ryan Murphy: Not a great experience. 2023 WOF is not the same as 1990 WOF. Parking is a ridiculously $30. Half the rides were broken. The shops and games are expensive and seriously lacking.

Kids Quest at Ameristar Kansas City: what do users think?
Allie Adkison: My son Remington is absolutely in love with Kids Quest in Kansas City! When we pull in the parking lot He is trying to run for the doors, the excitement in his face says it all. His face lights up and He is smiling and giggling instantly! He has Autism and is 3yrs old. They are so great with him! I bring him here all the time for the simple fact this is the only place that I have seen that he absolutely enjoys! All the staff know him by name and greet him with high fives! It is truly amazing! I highly recommend that if you have the chance take your children here before they close! I hope and pray that maybe we can change their minds and they will stay open! Kids Quest Kansas City was a life changing experience for me one I will never forget to see the joy in my son's face! ❤❤❤
Shawna Williams: Always changing their policies and not allowing children in. Last time we went our son didn't have a shot that state of Kansas doesn't require but Missouri does and he was to have 6 years ago. Now today we took our foster children for their first time and was told because I have a child in the system they couldn't come in for their first visit without shot records. Even though their paperwork state the can come 1 visit without record but must provide by second visit. We will never go back to Kids quest or ameristar again since they want to change rules daily without notice.
Joshua Thompson: We have been taking our kids here since 2017. Today 4/10/2021 we take our kids to play. It’s our youngest child’s birthday. We were turned away because they don’t have updated immunization records. We turned them in back in 2017 and no one has ever told us they need yearly updated records. Instead of sending out an email to notify your CUSTOMERS of the new requirement, you decide to wait until they drive an hour to get there and turn them away. Or here’s a thought, if you want my child’s “updated” immunization records, “update” YOUR website!Here’s the kicker, if you are new to this place they will go ahead and let you in so long as you bring your records next time. DUMB!!!!! Customer LOST Kid Quest!
Steven Deal: This place sucks! Always closed and too expensive
Louise Darko: This was a great place! The staff is attentive, kind, and great with the kids! The center director is lively and creates a fun environment as well. Overall it was a great experience! 👍🏾
steve shafer: It was our first time leaving our son with someone he didn't know(he's very shy) but miss Barbie to right over and made him feel comfortable which allowed us to relax and enjoy our night out,...amazing how she is with the kids....they all seem to love her...Thank you Miss Barbie you are amazing we will be back..
ebonie brooks: Hello !!! I can’t begin to explain how excellent and welcoming the staff at Kids Quest of Ameristar at Kansas City was upon my visit . The warming and welcoming atmosphere that I received when I first stepped foot through the door was amazing . I’m not usually the parent to allow anyone to watch after my kids other than relatives but, after my visit here I will definitely be back . The new Director Ms Ashley assured me that my kids were in good hands . She went over everything I needed to know and also was more than happy to answer all the questions I had for her.. I’m sure I was overly dramatic but, she kept a smile and allowed me to feel that my kids were going to be just fine. Ms Ashley and her staff was outstanding!!! Keep up the great work.
Loagan Friday: I brought my family to this establishment for the very first time and I must say that Ms. Ashley made me and my husband feel so comfortable with leaving our 9 year old son there. He has severe asthma and she assured me that he would be closely watched at all times. They did just that! Ms. Ashley just has this southern charm about her that was so comforting and warm. Despite the lobby being slammed packed with guests, her and a teammate (i forgot her name) handled each guest so personally and sensitively that I was in pure amazement. She really takes the cake on going beyond expectations to make everyone smile. I recommend this place to ANYONE. And I definitely look forward to visiting Ms. Ashley and the team next year for the holidays.
shanshan tang: My children like it very much, especially the motorcycle inside😄
Jaime Burnett: My 4 year old had a blast. The staff was very compassionate and extremely helpful. This was our first visit and will definately be back as that is all he talks about is when can he go again.
Evelyn Gibson: I brought my kids to Kids Quest years ago, now I am bringing my grandkids. They absolutely love it! They want me to go to the "grownups side" so they can go to the kids side. Not only do they enjoy they the games but they meet friends too.
Tom Thissen: Great place. the kids had a blast. Fun for all ages. We were worried about our youngest, 18 months old. He had a blast! Everyone came home wore out. We Forgot to bring disposable diapers. That didn't phase the staff. They manged to figure out our cloth diapers without help. They watched our kids better than put family members do.
Kelsey Mundell: Originally I had posted a negative review but decided to update since the former director of the establishment is no longer working there. I would like to take a moment to thank Sammy for going out of her way to find out who I was and handling the situation with poise and professionalism. I was grouchy and wound up ending the phone call with a smile on my face. A+ for customer service.
Victor Garcia: The staff was extremely playful and attentive with the kids. She asks to go back every time we are around the area. Great place with lots to do for the kiddos.
Darryl Evans: Great place for the kids the staff is great. The kids had a ball .
Blake Ross: This place is amazing. My kids are constantly begging me to go to the Casino so they can go to Kids Quest and play. Wonderful staff who truly care about the wellbeing of the children. Top notch!
Ashley Jones: NEVER will I take our children here again they are the worst staff I've ever come across they take things to a whole new level with blowing things out of proportion!! Got kicked off the whole property because of kids quest because I was a hour in a half late to picking my children up when I couldn't be there any sooner and they told me a hour was not okay and that I had to be there in 30 minutes or they would call the cops and sure enough they did and treated me like a criminal like I was committing a crime all because they called me and told me my daughter's head was hurting and I gave them options to help the situation because that's just what you do but instead they didn't give me a choice they Automatically jumped to we have a emt here looking at your daughter to make sure she was okay then called the cops then on top of that I got kicked off the whole property all because of me not being there in the time i said when there open untill 11 at night!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and let me remind you when I got there my daughter was just FINE.... Said she had fun and everything ( such a shame ) .
Emmanuel Hale: Exceeded expectations! We'll be back.
Debra Cearley Bethard: It was fun for the kids. They had a good time. We got to go to the casino. Kinda expensive and not sure how close the kids were watched
Alyssa Handley: It was horrible, they are under new management. My party decore wasn't ready , I had to wait and when I got back there I realized they set us up in the gym ?!?!? Only one table . All my guests registered and they didn't get the right stickers to put on the children's backs .. Party captains were boring and I did all the work, they weren't keeping other children from coming in. Just overall I wouldn't have a party here not even daycare they may give the kiddos snacks but they barely watch them . One more thing , they only had 3 adult chairs , so most of my guests were parents and I had a total of 8 kids with 16 adults you can imagine how irritated I was !
Rachel LOOSE “Looose” DeLany-Sneed: Love the staff and it's so convenient for if you want a night away from the kids and out of the house

The Regnier Family Wonderscope Children's Museum of Kansas City: what do users think?
Stefan Hodgden: They called CPS on us because my child told some bullies to stop breaking things and to be quiet when the staff was talking. We were visited by CPS, at which point they concluded the case to be closed. How do you get a visit from CPS? When there is signs of abuse and neglect. So you're telling me my son, who actually had intended to be good and promoted positive change, is now being blamed and us parents have to be punished for this?My son never broke anything. Th told him to shut and and that they don't care, to my son. We never received one email or call regarding any issues with his behavior until CPS was called. He never threatened to hurt anyone or himself. Not even the director knew that CPS had been called. They jumped the gun. In Missouri its a misdemeanor to make false claims of child neglect. So many wrongs here and in the wake is now a child that has to pay and parents that have to explain to him why. Thanks wonderscope, I'm sure your own parents would have loved it if CPS would have been called on them.
Caroline Knecht: We were members and chose not to renew. Part of it is because of their new ticketing policy that requires everyone, even members, to reserve tickets in advance. We were denied entry because they were at capacity one day, so I understand the need to limit crowds, but this way isn't great. We were asked to leave early because they were setting up an event (no emails or signs on the doors about this). We are frequently forced to leave exhibits so they can be reset. They clearly have a lot of growing pains they need to work out. It is a fun place, but it's frustrating to have to disappoint my kids because of all these new rules, random closings and overcrowding.
Barbara: A little disappointed my 8 yr old granddaughter found only the waterworks area interesting all the others seemed too young for her.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No Price for adult entry $11–15 …More
Morgan Sanders: We love our membership! The facility is always very cleanVisited on Weekend Wait time No wait …More
Redd L: Called for the first time never having been here and just moved here from out of state and had some questions before making the trip. The guy was rude and literally asked me if I was seriously going to ask him all these questions because he had a line in front of him and jo time to answer me. WOWVisited on Weekend Wait time 1 hr+ Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry $11–15 …More
Allice Crawford: I booked my party MONTHS IN ADVANCETo the woman who kicked my daughter in the head with a soccer ball at FULL FORCE. and didn’t even apologize and said “she looks unphased “ I begged Wonderscope Children's Museum to do something about it. They refused. I asked about them at least keeping the mother from my child while we finish up her party. They told me to “ call the cops “ I asked for corporate or any number I can call Monday morning. They refused. They never checked in my party. They never wanted to leave from behind their desk. And this was all AFTER I was extremely flexible with them canceling my order for donuts and goodie bags less than 48/hrs in advance. And I never even got upset. I just provided my child w everything myself. So I’m conclusion DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS TO Wonderscope Children's Museum They will let adults assault you children. They won’t care. They won’t do anything. They are not reliable. And every kid who attended my daughters party was genuinely upset because they thought they would be hit by this woman next. And nothing would be done. A simple apology and communication could have fixed this. instead they met us with complete disregard and disrespect. Never again will we attend.
Krystina Tiger: My 3 year old daughter loved it here! A lot to do for many different age rangesVisited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure …More
Abbi Suess: This was one of the coolest places I have taken my kids this far. We were there from 12-close and still had more we could do. The kids loved story time and got to make a super hero craft. All of the staff is very friendly and work hard to keep everything picked up while the kids play. They also have “mouth toy” bins for toys that littles put in their mouth. The Market was so cute and all the kids loved being able to use a shopping cart. The water area was also a favorite! My kids would have stayed all day if they could! I highly recommend!
Jacob Folk: Good place for kids but there’s a few employees that you can tell hate kids so that ruined it for us still 3 star for how much stuff and the other really good employees
Brooklyn: Definitely worth it to get the membershipVisited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No Price for adult entry $6–10 …More
Kc Len: Definitely over priced, the facility does have a nice variety but anyone over the age of five it would be to old for. I'd save your money and take your whole family which is great for all ages to something like Deanna Rose (opens in April)
Mark Nevils: Fun space, staff was helpful and kind.
Chris Payne: Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Price for adult entry $6–10More

Asia Horton: Wonderscope as always is an amazing place for the kids, however since it’s spring break, wonderscope was doing pre-order tickets. Unfortunately this was unknown to us and we were turned away. Which caused quite a few tears for the little one. Many other families came in and were turned away causing their own kids to cry.
Joshua E: The kids absolutely loved this place! Staff does a great job of keeping the place looking and feeling clean, despite the enormous amount of kids there daily. There was plenty of different play areas and activities to keep the kids busy for hours on end! It’s nice that the kids can go from playing outside to inside so easily! The kids have already asked to go back! & we will be!
Tamara Quinones: We bought a year membership for our family last year, and we've used it heavily! I've got 4 kids ages range from 3 to 12, and they all love going here. I've taken some of my older kids' friends, and they loved it, too. This place is like if Science City and Paradise Park had a baby. It has a water play area, imaginative play with the shopping and cooking, jungle gym, outdoor play including a sand pit area. They also offer fun learning classes that you can sign up for while you're there. It doesn't cost extra either. We usually have a difficult time finding an indoor place whenever the weather is too much. Check it out!
Amanda Donovan: Our daughter loves Wonderscope! We have a yearly membership, which is well worth the price. There's so much to do, it's easy to spend at least an hour or so here. It can be crowded over the weekends, but it's still a lot of fun for the kids. Our daughter is under 5, she's at the perfect age to be able to enjoy all activities available.
Hatim: Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No Price for adult entry $6–10More
Em Eff: A very nice place to spend a couple of hours or more! We go with our daughter and 3 year old grandson. There are many varied enrichment activities for a good range of age. I like that I can participate with my grandson. The staff is attentive without being invasive. The water works station is our favorite and the ball area is a runner up.
Jazmine Roberts: I usually don’t do any reviews on places, but this place called Wonderscope is one that hit a nerve. I went up there to book a birthday for my child’s first birthday, but the birthday coordinator wasn’t there. So therefore I emailed her telling her what I’m looking for, then the called me the next day. Ms. Maggie Fayard called me telling me in a rude and ugly way that we have an event that day, so we only 10am available. No apology or inconvenience, i will never come to this place and I do not recommend to anyone.
