May in Kansas City is bursting with energy, sunshine, and opportunities to create unforgettable family memories! From honoring moms on Mother’s Day to kicking off summer fun over Memorial Day weekend, there’s no shortage of activities to enjoy.
Star Wars fans have even more reason to celebrate this month. In honor of May the 4th, you can catch The Nostalgia Awakens exhibit at the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures, featuring a full collection of retro Kenner Star Wars action figures, or head to Sporting KC’s Star Wars Night for an evening of galactic fun at Children’s Mercy Park.
Two can’t-miss attractions open this month for thrill-seekers and curious explorers alike: Worlds of Fun officially kicks off its season of rides, shows, and splashy fun, while the Kansas City Zoo unveils its brand-new Dinosaurs! exhibit, featuring life-sized animatronic creatures that roar to life along the Zoo’s outdoor trails.
With warmer weather here to stay, it’s the perfect time to get outside and explore everything Kansas City has to offer-whether you’re visiting local parks, enjoying outdoor festivals, dining on patios, or seeking family-friendly adventures, there’s something for everyone to love.
