Event Details

Have you ever wondered what the inside of that big rig or tractor looks like? Do you have a child who LOVES trucks? Bring them out to the parking lot of the Theatre in the Park, located in beautiful Shawnee Mission Park, to explore trucks, tractors, construction, and city vehicles up close.

Crawl, climb, and sit in the driver’s seat and talk with the real life operators of these vehicles. Check out the featured character tow truck, as well as many other kids favorites.  The first hour of the event will be sensory-friendly with no horns or sirens for those who prefer this event a bit quieter.

INCLEMENT WEATHER: In the event there is inclement weather on Saturday morning, our event will be canceled.  Johnson County Park and Recreation District will post this event status on our Facebook page at 9:30 am on Friday, April 10 and will also post an update on this page.
