This was my first trip to the Starlight. I will definitely be back! This venue is amazing. From ample parking to amazing sound, it really is a great spot for a concert. Plus the grounds are gorgeous! There are at least 4 buildings of restrooms that I seen (there could be more). They were very clean and air conditioned (which was wonderful for the 97+ degree day that it was! ) The seats are nice with enough leg room! There are at least 6 food vendors there. You can get everything from pizza to street tacos, to burgers and chicken! Plus the standard popcorn and nachos. The show was spectacular and it didn't even take long to get out of the parking lot after the show was over! I'll definitely make the 3 hour drive for more shows there!

Starlight is a Kansas City classic. A beautiful outdoor venue with clean site lines and good sound. I've seen concerts, Broadway shows, magicians, variety shows and all have been enhanced by the unique atmosphere. My first trip to Starlight was 40 years ago and most recent was last week - they've done a great job of keeping the facility clean, well repaired and up to date. On our most recent visit we got the buffet beforehand. It was good but not spectacular and the conditions were rather hot. I'd only recommend if the weather is cooperative. Pro tip seats a bit further back and higher up catch the breeze and can be more comfortable if the weather is hot.

Amazing venue. The drinks are like ball park priced...but definitely a great place to see one if your favorite bands or Broadway shows.

First time at Starlight, what an exceptional venue! What a great evening! The seats are great, the views are great, the concessions were good and not even too outrageously priced. The drive out after the show was even smooth, easy, and quick.

Diane Adrian | Sep 1, 2018

Yes at the courtesy booth. You have to request them and it might take a while. Do use the top circle drive to drop that person off. It is level and easier to negotiate. You can bring your own chair and have seating in back of theater. Please contact Starlight for more details. This has been my experience.
