Things to Do in Olathe

Zonkers enchants youngsters and guardians alike with its gargantuan indoor amusement park and arcade. Rides abound, including the Python Pit roller coaster and the Banana Squadron—a fleet of small, controllable planes in the shape of bananas, just like Pan Am’s aircraft in the 1970s. The bustling activity center makes a fun destination for field trips and birthday parties.

The arms experts at OMB GUNS & Indoor Range provide marksmen with the resources and guidance to sharpen their firearms proficiency. Officers supervise the indoor range at all times, maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for shooters of all skill levels. They also happily help out first-time visitors by demonstrating proper stance and aiming. Training programs include an intensive eight-hour firearms-safety course that teaches students the basics of wielding a firearm and how to properly load your glue gun. To encourage camaraderie and add some competitive motivation, OMB's team organizes shooting leagues.

Kids and parents zoom around the red-walled rink of Skate Zone, which provides a fun, safe atmosphere where children aged 3–12 can learn to skate. The facility's training walkers and specially designed tile floors help little ones to gain their skate-legs and minimize the pain of tumbles without the superhero-angering effects of donning an inflatable suit. Adjacent to the rink lies a game room stuffed with token-operated amusements such as video games, dance machines, and alley bowlers. To satisfy hunger pangs, Skate Zone welcomes customers to bring in their own pizza. The fun center also helps kids to celebrate the day of their wrapping-paper windfalls with birthday packages, including skating-rink games and activities.

Tickets For Less is an easy-to-navigate, secure site that rescues consumers from perilous hidden fees and charges on tickets to concerts, plays, and professional and collegiate sporting events. By bypassing the price inflation that stems from traditional ticket vendors wining and dining their tickets before selling them on the open market, Tickets For Less is able to serve discounted paper permits. Upcoming events include a Lady Gaga concert, a performance of Cirque Du Soleil, and kinetic day at the NASCAR track, which at one point probably hosted a reunion concert for The Verve Pipe.
