There are many places around the Kansas City metro which hold drop-in “open gyms” – usually for preschoolers and toddlers – once or twice a week for a small fee. Most will require parental supervision. We’ve put together this list and arranged it by day for your convenience. Make sure to check the gym websites for up-to-date scheduling and fee information.
Please let us know if you’ve found another great open gym that we should add to our list by sending us the info via our Contact Page. Thanks!
