Kid-Friendly

Make fun memories with your kiddos and sneak in a few history lessons too. From hands-on learning exhibits to action-packed attractions, a visit to Independence is sure to keep the youngsters (and not-so-youngsters) entertained. Kids of all ages can play pioneer and pack their wagon to head West. Sip on a tasty milkshake at the old-time soda fountain where a boy named Harry worked before going on to become one of the United States’ most beloved presidents. See the stomping grounds of Jesse and Frank James. Pack the swimsuits and enjoy fun in the sun at our local water park, Adventure Oasis. There’s so much to do, the only thing you’ll hear from the backseat is: “Best. Trip. Ever!”
