Family Night at Lenexa Public Market

Looking for an easy way to get dinner handled without cooking at home? Family Night at Lenexa Public Market gives you the perfect excuse to skip the kitchen and let loose with your kids. The market itself welcomes families throughout the week, but Wednesday evenings from 5 to 8 p.m. ramp things up with a special lineup of activities designed to keep children engaged while parents relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Each week brings a mix of entertainment: a balloon artist creating custom characters and animals, a selection of over 250 board games curated by Cardboard Corner Cafe (a market merchant), plus coloring pages for quieter moments. As the seasons change, you'll also find outdoor games like cornhole and sidewalk chalk activities. Every month brings rotating special activities that may require an additional fee, so check the market's website for what's scheduled during your visit.
