Spring break is coming up very soon for a lot of families. It may not be in your budget to take a lavish vacation, so here are a few things you might be able to do right here in Kansas City — which are free!
- Hallmark Visitor Center. You can take a behind the scenes tour of this home town company.
- Kaleidosocope Family Center. The kids can create crafts, cards, puzzles — all sorts of things. They have set times when you can enter, so make sure you check out the website ahead of time.
- Boulevard Brewing company offers free tours! You will need to register for a tour time by calling ahead 816-474-7095. (This is one mom and dad might need after a busy week with the kids).
