We always have a great time allowing our kids to express their creativity. I would honestly say that this place is geared towards ages 3-8. That doesn’t mean that we big kids can’t enjoy ourselves too. Once you are finished there is a free museum for Hallmark next door to explore which is pretty cool as well. Don’t forget to make your reservation online ahead of time

Such a creative, playful, fun experience with the kids! It was a must-do on our KC bucket list.

I love Kaleidoscope and have since I was a child, my child loves it too. I gave only 4 stars because the their "new decor/theme" is not nearly as fun and immersive as the old one. The stations are still there and are great creatively but a lot of the fun was the immersive and imaginative decor that is now mostly white with some color blocks and occasional smiley faces.

Our family had a great time doing the imaginative creativity for our son had a fun time didn't want to leave the facility at all. The staff customer service is phenomenal job. Also there is restrooms for the family. We are glad to bring home our son art project. You do you need to register at the website the best part it is free. Renovated for all ages learning new activities. There is even a chance to make your own puzzles by making your own artwork and the staff will do the puzzle pieces for you by the machine. Best part for toddler is the never ending magnet all different shapes and sizes. Our toddler is really into magnet of organizing items. Letting your children be there own personality shine.

Hallmark provides Kaleidoscope as a public service; there is no charge. Kaleidoscope's creative art sessions are geared toward children 12 years of age and younger with their adults. Sessions start at 9:45, 10:45, 11:45, 12:45, 1:45 and 2:45 Monday thru Saturday.
I would say it depends on how comfortable they feel in a crowd and how willing you are to facilitate things. My 4 year old struggled a bit. There were stations that were meant to stay put together and he would keep markers in his hands when we left or not try out all the items in the station because he wasn't sure what to do. That could just be my kid though. It was tough getting him comfortable with exploring each station before going to the next one. It's up to you. I think it's more geared towards school aged kids.
Hi Amanda, Thank you for checking. We ask that you not bring food into Kaleidoscope. We have cubbies in the lobby for you to store your food while you and your children create your amazing art.
took my 14-year-old and she had fun. Definitely meant for younger kids but she liked painting with the melted crayons and making a puzzle
It is! It's only a :45 session but we went through twice for twice the fun. As long as they're not crowded the staff seem okay with this.
Free, but you need to walk in and ask for tickets to be in the next group that goes in. We only had to wait an hour to be a part of the next group.
Good morning, Liz The other replies are correct. Hallmark provides Kaleidoscope as a public service; there is no charge to attend. Creative art sessions begin at 9:45, 10:45, 11:45, 12:45, 1:45 and 2:45 Monday thru Saturday. Free tickets are available as early as 9:30 each morning. Adults must be with a child. Minimum of 1 adult per 6 children is required. Reservations are required for groups of 15 or more people. We look forward to you and your family visiting.
Good morning, We recommend parking in the garage on the East side of Grand on the Blue Level. Once you’ve parked, enter to the right of the Security Office and take the elevator to the third floor. Turn left out of the elevator. Follow the signs and go down the steps toward the double doors leading outside. Kaleidoscope is located just ahead. We are happy to provide a validation slip for 3-hours of free parking. If you have any questions, please call us at 816-274-8301.
Hi Brian, There is no limit to the number of adults joining a child. For adults to be admitted you must have at least one child. We look forward to your group joining us.
Thank you for your question. Over the years we have experimented with our hours and asked for feedback from our guests. Currently, most families indicate our hours fit their needs during the week, and if they are a family with working parents unable to come during the week, our hours on Saturday allow them to visit and build memories with their children.
Just show up unless its a huge school group
No
Wow, im surprised someone on the staff didn't notice. I'm sure they would do whatever they could to accommodate. When I was there last summer there were benches.
My 10 year old nephew still loves it so it’s really just how your kids react to it.
