What can visiting college students do for fun in Kansas City?
I'm visiting Kansas City from Oct. 28-31 with a group of 7 students from Florida for a college newspaper conference. We've never been there and would like to go out while we're there. Are bars and clubs all 21-and-up in KC? Only about half of us are over 21.
Kansas City has a number of great haunted houses in the fall that are worth looking into. You'll notice several people have already mentioned Worlds of Fun, an area theme park. There's also the numerous shopping areas such as the Country Club Plaza in KCMO and Legends in KCK near the race track.
You might want to keep tabs on some of the community calendars as your trip nears - both the KC Star (main stream newspaper) and the Pitch (alternative free press paper) have them on their websites - see sources below.
Yes, most of the bars are 21 and over, though some do all-ages shows (or at least 18 and up) from time to time.
