    Prairie grass . Kansas City was near the starting point of many trails that led settlers to the American West in the 1800s.

    The Outfield Experience . Kauffman Stadium is really special because it has something called the Outfield Experience. It is a large patio behind the outfield filled with fun stuff for kids! There’s a playground with tubes and slides, a baseball-themed merry-go-round, and even a shortminigolf course. It also has batting cages for practicing your swing, a base-path run to test your speed, and a pitching mound to clock your throws.
