What are some of the best free or cheap entertainment options in Kansas City and surrounding areas?
My roommate and I (ages 23 and 25) are looking for something fun to do this summer, but we're both on a tight budget. What is the best free and/or cheap entertainment around Kansas City (we live on the Missouri side).
Cheap?
A Royals game is fairly inexpensive, 7 dollars for tickets, then you could split the parking fee.
There are parks along the river that you could go and walk around in; Parkville, up north of KC, for example, has an excellent park and the town is pretty neat to walk around in, too.
And, as everyone has said, the Plaza and Zona Rosa are also neat to explore.

Kansas City Royals
The Kansas City Royals is a Major League Baseball team (http://www.sportsticketsguide.com/MLB.php). It is based in Kansas City, Missouri. It was named after the Royal Livestock Show that was being held annually in Kansas City ever since 1899. It holds the honor of being one of teams included in the Central Division of the American League.
Kansas City was moved to Oakland after the 1967 season. And for the first time ever after 1883 the Kansas City royals were excluded from the expansion teams thus rendering it without a professional league status. The senator of Kansas City was outrageous and his threat to introduce a legislation that would remove the baseball's antitrust exemption. The threat resulted in the inclusion of the team in the next level of the expansion matches. The MLB consequently awarded the team to Kansas City the status to play in the 1971 games. Ewing But was pressurized by Symington to allow the start of play in 1969.
The Royals were a hot favorite in the 1987 World Series, but they ended up winning only 83 games out of the total 162 games. They finished two games behind the 1987 World Champions. In 1987 Hal McRae was selected as the new manager only to be replaced by John Wathan in the midseason. One of the star Royals players Brett held three batting titles for them the final one coming in 1990. He was the first player ever to win a batting title in every decade of his career. The royals recorded fourteen consecutive wins win which came to an end in 1994 due to the premature end of the season. The players handled by manager Hal McRae at that time, went on a strike. And after he was released the Royals never made a winning impact.
Several of their young players became stars in the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Some of the more popular young stars were Bo Jackson, Tom Gordon, and Kevin Seitzer. And despite having several wins under their belt they still fell short of the post season. Their maturing player David Cone was traded for Ed Hearn. Even though the royals did not qualify for the play offs in ’89 they still managed to win 92 games and post the third-best record in baseball of all times.
A lot of veteran players who showed a lot of promise were signed but who failed to live up to the expectations and failed to secure any wins for their team. After a miserable record, the newly signed manager Tony Peña was replaced by Buddy Bell. It finished the 2005 season with a 56-106 record (.346) which meant that it was almost 43 games behind the first place. This was not a first for the Royals; in fact it was the third time in almost four consecutive seasons that the team ended up with the worst record ever in the franchise history.
The Royals continued to struggle through 2006 with more than hundred defeats under their belt. They are the eleventh team ever in the franchise to lose 100 games in three consecutive seasons. They entered the 2007 season looking for prospective wins after their record 100 losses. The arrival of Alex Gordon was expected to put an end to the losing streak of the team.
