Easter in KC 2018

Some inklings of spring (Kansas-style anyway) are starting to emerge, and with that comes tons of Easter activities in the KC area! You can always take a stroll on the Country Club Plaza to enjoy the giant Easter bunnies, or visit your neighborhood shopping center for a photo with a life-sized bunny. If you’re looking for something a little different, here are some other fun ways to make Easter a family event:
