My son (age 7) and I had an awesome day yesterday. To be honest, I think we would both say that it’s been our favorite day of Summer 2009 so far! Before I continue–a disclaimer–this is in no way a paid plug for Paradise Park. I wasn’t paid off, bribed, or seduced into writing this post!!! With that being said, we dropped our little Indian princess off for her final day of Mother’s Day Out and my son and I headed out–just the two of us.
We went out to Paradise Park in Lee’s Summit, MO; we’ve done this many times before but never made it to the “big kid” stuff which is outside. And we felt like we’d been missing out! Our 18 holes of mini-golf became about $6 cheaper when I used the great printable 2-for-1 coupon found on www.visitkc.com. Poke around the site for lots of great deals on KC’s attractions! (And while you’re at it, you won’t want to miss the monthly feature articles that Kate and I have been writing!) After feeling like I got a great deal, I splurged on two go-kart tickets at $8/each. My son had never driven his own go-kart…and yesterday was the day!
With the first ticket, I drove a two-person “car” and I was amazed a)how fast it went, and b)how many laps we got to do before our time was up! With our second ticket (no coupon here) Speed Racer got behind the wheel of a Junior Go-Kart. It was a single-seater and much slower. He did a great job! He came in first place! ;-)
We ended up spending about 3 hours at Paradise Park, all of it outside, for a little more than $20 for the two of us. It was worth it and we had so much fun!
