Sundays on the Historic East Lawn

Sundays on the Historic East Lawn offers families a relaxed way to spend time outdoors at The Museum of Kansas City during the summer and early fall. Running every Sunday through late September (weather permitting), this free program welcomes visitors between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. with a flexible drop-in format—arrive whenever works best for your family and stay as long as you'd like. There's no pressure to commit to a specific time slot, making it perfect for families with younger children or unpredictable schedules. To attend, you'll need to register in advance, though the program itself is completely free. This is a great opportunity for kids to enjoy the museum's grounds in a casual, unstructured setting during the warmer months. Since activities can be weather-dependent, it's worth checking conditions before heading out, but this outdoor gathering provides a nice break from typical indoor museum visits.
