10 Reasons Not to Miss the KCMB Spring Family Egg Hunt

10. Giveaways. Oooh yes. Make sure to check your eggs carefully because lucky egg hunters will find prizes from the National WWI Museum and Memorial, Powell Gardens, The College Basketball Experience, Denise Albright Studio, CocoKey Water Resort, McDonalds, Summit Fair, C3 Marketing, Science City, First Federal Bank of Kansas City , Cotton Candy Fun, Pencil Grip, Fun Services, Hallmark Gold Crown Stores and more! The list just keeps growing so check our event page for the latest additions!

9. Calling all kid doctors! Make your own stethoscope and earn your MD at the Pediatric Associates of Lee’s Summit booth. 

8. Puppets with My Kid’s Dentist will not only make your kiddos laugh but teach proper brushing technique, sneaky little puppets! Take home Spring-themed coloring sheets, too.

7. Get Crafty! Play-Well TEKnologies will be present for their awesome Lego pixel art creation stations. Wise Wealth will help you create bunny bucks to use at home for good behavior and chore incentives. Camp Fire Heartland‘s stop will not doubt be a popular one with its slime-making station. Don’t worry, the slime will travel securely home contained in an egg.

6. Games upon Games! Stop by our title sponsor CareNow Urgent Care‘s booth for a baseball-themed activity wheel and prizes. Sylvan Learning Center will help you play an egg matching game with different difficulties for each age group. Finally, you can get the wiggles out while you’re waiting for the big hunts at the Topgolf and Springfree Trampoline areas. 

5. Picture Ready. Amber Dawkins Photography will be there with a gorgeous and fun spring back drop for a family photo – digital copy included with your ticket! But that’s not all! Make sure you find our super sweet (and non-creepy) Easter Bunny roaming for selfies. Then stop by the table by Sesame where you can put on your bunny ears (and take them home!) and snap a pic in their animated photo booth!

4. Candy Bar. Once Upon a Child in Lee’s Summit won’t let you leave without sugary treats! Grab a bag and load up your favorites form their candy buffet. Gluten free candy options available!

3. Food. With food from Jimmy John’s and Chick-fil-A serving their specialities, Shatto Milk Company serving milk and cheese and Jarvy’s Shave Ice dishing out their amazing and creative shave ice flavors (#somuchbetterthanasnocone) and cotton candy we promise you won’t go hungry. And Lee’s Summit favorite Post Coffee Company will be there to keep the parents awake with iced vanilla lattes and hot coffee. Hop on over to the Wholly Veggie booth where you can sample their heathy offerings. Best part? This is all included in your ticket!

2. Paradise Park: Based on our reader poll, a lot of you have never been to this amazing KC attraction. It has it all for all ages. Discovery Play – imaginary play for the toddler and preschool kids. Outdoor playgrounds, mini golf, go-carts, batting cages, arcade, foam factory and more! Seriously, everything you could want under one roof. Your ticket includes one Paradise Park attraction of your choice to be used the day of the hunt or within 60 days if you want to make a return trip. And trust us, you will.

1. Goodie Bags: This is an event planned by moms. We know how you want those cute egg hunting pictures but cringe at all the plastic toys and sugary candy you’ll come home with. So we’re doing things differently thanks in part to our friends at U.S. Toy Company. You’ll still want your kids to find eggs because we’ve hidden huge prizes inside. But, you’ll turn in your eggs and receive an age-appropriate goodie bag with fun toys, games, art supplies and all sorts of fun.

    • Every adult and child ages 1 and older needs a ticket. Once you’re in the door, your ticket covers EVERYTHING including food and beverage. There will be something to entertain all ages.

        • Our oldest egg hunt is ages 6-9 so definitely appropriate. The 12 year old would still enjoy many of the activities including the trampoline, slime making, family pics, and more. Plus Paradise Park has lots of activities for that age range!

        • Session 1 hunts will begin at 10:20 and Session 2 hunts begin at 12:20. They will be staggered by age so no overlap on time in case you have multiple kiddos in different categories!
