Fun, indoor activities are a must when the weather gets cooler. Check out one of these great options!
In late 2022, Kansas City became home to its first shuffleboard bar, thanks to the minds behind Made in KC. Located in Martini Corner near Union Hill, Ludo’s features three shuffleboard lanes available to rent by the hour. For just $10/hour, you can shuffle your weighted discs—or biscuits as Ludo’s calls them—to a high score. Just keep them out of the “kitchen.” Ludo’s also has vintage arcade games, board games and card games available for play. They are open 4:00-10:00 Thursday and Friday and noon-11:00 on Saturday. They are closed Sunday through Wednesday for private events—and I think the spot would be a great place for a team building activity. Ludo’s has a full bar, but they do not serve food (except for a few packaged snacks). You are more than welcome to take in your own food though. We double-dated there with another couple and had a blast! Pro tip: No walking allowed on the blue part of the lane.
Craft Putt is KC’s newest mini golf taphouse. This 9,000-square-foot restaurant and bar has a 10-hole golf course that can be enjoyed by the casual mini golfer—as well as the more serious one. My husband and I double-dated here with another couple and had a great time. With our craft beers in tow, we conquered all 10 holes and then enjoyed Craft Putt’s version of table shuffleboard, complete with turf (instead of hardwood) and modified clubs for shoving the golf balls down the green. We actually thought the shuffleboard was just as entertaining as the golf. They also have tic-tac-toe with golf balls and other similar amusements. We did not eat while we were there, but they have a full menu of traditional pub-style food.
Brkthrough in Overland Park is one of the newest additions to KC’s entertainment scene. It is a self-described “social gaming experience” with 35-plus high-tech game rooms. Each one is a little bit like a mini escape room and challenges you in one or more of the following areas: mental, physical or skill.
They recommend two to four people per room. After having gone recently, my husband and I would definitely recommend four people. There were some rooms we didn’t attempt (or at least not for long) because we could tell it would be too difficult with just the two of us, but there were plenty of other rooms that were just fine for two. I was surprised at how physically challenging some of the rooms were. I’m in pretty good shape, but I was worn out after two hours! If you go, be sure to wear closed-toe shoes and be ready to sweat a little.
