Best Places to Take Out-of-Town Visitors

When it’s too chilly to play outside, find fun ways to keep kids moving indoors. Dance parties, hallway obstacle courses, and living room yoga are great ways to burn energy and to boost moods. Even 15 minutes of movement can make a big difference. Get creative, join in, and show them that staying active can be fun no matter the weather.

Children’s Mercy Kansas City is built for kids. That’s why we have been taking care of the kids in the community for more than 125 years. Learn more.
