Your Personality Playlist

1. Let the kids be a scientist for a day at Science City in Union Station. The hands-on exhibits will have them laughing and learning.

2. The Kansas City Zoo features more than 1,000 animals in their natural habitats, including a 95-acre African exhibit. Don't forget to take notice of the zoo's revamped, visitor-friendly front entrance and the new North American River Otter exhibit just inside.

3. Treat the tykes to a fun family dinner. You just might be surprised how many family-centric restaurants there are in KC. Try the creative Crayola Café at Crown Center or the world’s first T-Rex Café at the Legends at Village West. There, you can dine among colossal dinosaurs and even dig for fossils.

4. The young and the young-at-heart love exploring the 33 rooms of treasures at the Toy & Miniature Museum. The 1911 mansion is filled with antique toys, dollhouses, marbles and scale miniatures dating from the mid-1800s to the present.

5. For wet and wild water fun year-round head to the new CoCo Key Water Resort, Missouri's largest indoor waterpark. No matter the season, it's always sunny and 84 degrees inside.  The 55,000-square-foot park includes two spas, an adventure river, lily pad games, a 'dip-in' movie theater and (of course) four twisting and turning slides.

6. A must for families is Crown Center's Coterie Theatre. Time magazine named the venue one of the top five theaters in America for young audiences.
