10 things to do outside in Kansas City
"There aren’t many museums in the United States that show what baseball was like when it was segregated. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum does a good job at showing a timeline and sharing important facts to help people understand what things were like in the 1800’s. A lot of people don’t know that years ago, during segregation, black people were not being accepted into the minor and major baseball leagues so they had to form their own teams."
"The CBE is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, part Hall of Fame museum, part interactive play area. Located at Sprint Center, this place is a kid’s dream. They have the opportunity to shoot hoops on a full size court, play timed skill games, dunk a basketball, and play basketball arcade games."
