Celebrate this birthday (*singsong* and many more) with exclusive offers and gifts from Kansas City’s local businesses and teams. You can expect to have a party just by claiming these hometown treats.
Betty Rae’s Ice Cream — Kansas City, Mo.
Here’s the scoop! Join Betty Rae’s email list for a cool birthday coupon. After subscribing, you’ll receive an email prompting you to share a birth date — use your child’s if you prefer.
Your child will be especially delighted by Betty Rae’s unique mainstay flavors, like Cereal Milk, which contains Fruity Pebbles in its ingredients; and Razz & Blue, a bright blend of berries. And dairy-free (DF) kiddos aren’t stuck with plain vanilla or chocolate — Funky Monkey (DF) is on the menu!
Redeem your chilly treat at one of eight nearby locations: Merriam, Prairie Village, Olathe, Overland Park, River Market, Waldo, Lee’s Summit and (coming soon) Shawnee.
Chiefs Kingdom Kids

This paint-your-own-pottery studio brings back memories of painting there with my mom, and I can’t wait to share it with my toddler once he can hold a brush. Once you visit, the relaxing pace and sparks of creativity will make you want to return time and again.

Savor Kansas City’s best barbecue at Jack Stack and enjoy a free birthday dessert for the celebrant. You can visit their Freight House, Plaza, Martin City, Lee’s Summit or Lenexa location for a delicious birthday treat.

Library
Treat your birthday boy or girl to the big-kid experience of obtaining his or her very own library card. For kids 15 and younger, a parent or guardian must provide proof of address and acknowledge responsibility for the library account.
Once your child has his or her new card, continue the birthday outing by checking out Birthday Monsters by Sandra Boynton, Ten Rules of the Birthday Wish by Beth Ferry or Happy Birthday to You by Dr. Seuss.
