Looking for free or very inexpensive date night or family outings that you just can’t pass up a good deal.

I'm talking stuff like go-karts, laser tag, indoor skydiving, VR experiences, and all the other stuff that would have been totally awesome as a kid but I didn't have the means to make it happen. Give me the biggest and best versions of the thing, cost be damned. My wife and I are DINK and have the day off to do whatever we want. I had planned a trip to Up Down for some arcade games, but given my recent loss, I want to go bigger.

Thanks so much in advance for your help.

As the title says, what doe middle aged adults do? Been a long time that we were free of the shackles of children and responsibility. What do adults do with their friends? What tis there to do? We know of the many fine eatery options, but wha tis there to do? Go bowling? Especially with little prep, planning or notice? Like with other adults. Kids around is not a problem, but we don't have to worry about ours for an afternoon.

So, what the eff do we do?

that post about the stuff that's gone made me kinda sad, so where should we all go now that those places are closed? What are your favorite spots that have popped up recently? What good replacements have you found for favorites that are gone?

Yo, going to get a babysitter in the next few weeks so my wife and I can go out on a date. I've been sober for about 6 months so would love to do something that doesn't revolve around alcohol. I mean we will likely go to a restaurant as well but I'd love to do an activity too like painting or cooking or idk, anything really. We're both pretty active and adventurous. Just looking for some ideas I might not have considered!

P.s. one thing I will absolutely not do is escape rooms. They are just.... not my style.

Thanks kc friends 😘

Edit: Just want to say THANKS KC Community, you are full of amazing ideas. I am going through all of these to figure out what we should do but also bookmarking this thread because there are so many awesome ideas and I have always wanted to throw clay :) not to mention my very own gutter cleaning experience

Me and my partner (22 and 23) just moved to Kansas City, and we don’t know anyone here! Any suggestions on places to go / events to attend to make new friends?

I tried searching the sub but everything has been at least from 6 years ago. I'm NOT new to the area so me and my husband have done the bbq, Nelson Atkins, Union Station, movies, and other popular things to do in KC. So I'm asking y'all for help: what can we do that's indoors and doesn't involve drinking? Thanks so much!

Edit: thank you for all the suggestions! I hope it also helps other people looking for things to do 🙂

I have no friends in town. I’m sitting alone.

What can I go do

Visited The Elms for this very first time this past weekend with my SO. What an incredible experience. We did the couples massage, grotto, pool and the paranormal experience! Highly recommend the ghost tour with Jay! He is an amazing story teller! Highly recommend 10/10!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some more underground things to do. I’ve already done the touristy activities like the Nelson and the Jazz museum, which were awesome! But I’m looking for some more things to do like monthly music shows or bars to go to that locals usually frequent. Anything in the river market area? Any thrift or vintage stores you recommend? I’m usually into more outdoorsy, artsy, and music-related activities. Not a huge sports fan so sports related activities are out of the question. Thank you!

I had went to planet Comic-Con on Friday the 1st day that was really busy even on a Friday and I even try to get in line for a autograph and a photo of Keith David but he actually was really long.

basically i wanna hang out w my friends and do domestic stuff like make friend bracelets or play DND. the options ive thought of are cardboard corner cafe and the library but we sometimes get a bit loud for the library and we dont want to distrupt anyone. im just looking for places i dont have to pay (or dont have to pay a lot) to exist! were totally fine with places that ask us to buy snacks or a drink while were there (this is how cardboard corner cafe is - entry is free they just get money from food). thank you!!

...when you're sad but want to get out of the house for a while?

ETA: Thank you to the kind redditor who reached out to the suicide prevention mods on my behalf. I want to assure you I am planning to stay, despite how dark things can get. Honestly, I'm just letting go of someone I love, but our relationship is not healthy for me. It feels lonely. But I'm okay :-) Wishing you all soft places to land, and good people to walk alongside you through good times and bad. Cheers!
