This giveaway has ended. Congrats to our winner, Laura H.!
Spring Break has ended and the kids are back in school. Yay!
But this means there are only weeks – yes weeks – left until Summer vacation begins.
While I’m sure we all are looking forward to the warmer weather, the thought of a wide-open calendar and kiddos off school gives this mama heart palpitations. That is why at this time of year, I always start making my list of things to do with kids in Kansas City.
Crown Center is always at the top of that list. And, since 2012, that has included SEA LIFE Aquarium and LEGOLAND Discovery Center. If you haven’t been to SEA LIFE or LEGOLAND yet, you’re in for a treat. If you have, you’ll still want to go back and check out the newest additions.
On March 7th, SEA LIFE opened its new Claws exhibit. Claws allows guests of all ages to come face-to-face with different species of crustaceans, including a 14-foot Japanese Spider Crab, Coconut Crabs, Fiddler Crabs, plus many more. It includes interactive features that allow guests to learn the anatomy of these amazing crustaceans and feel the shell textures of the different species. Guests can also learn the secrets to grabbing objects using a crab claw and see unique videos of crabs doing various activities.
At LEGOLAND, check out the new LEGO Friends area, including Olivia’s House. I absolutely love that LEGO now offers products geared toward our daughters. The LEGO 4D Movies never disappoint, and they rotate often so you’ll always see something new.
Now, for the insider’s tip: Did you know if you order your tickets online you can not only save money, but you can schedule your entry time? This will help you bypass all the walk-up visitors. And, you’ll save money when you buy a combo pass to both attractions and you can spread your visits over 14 days.
And now for the giveaway. One lucky Kansas City Mamas reader will win 4 tickets to both attractions, SEA LIFE Aquarium & LEGOLAND Discovery Center. Good luck!
Here’s How To Enter The Giveaway
(Remember, each comment is considered a entry – so leave a separate comment each time.)

Additional entry: Follow ME on Pinterest. (I promise to NEVER pin coupon deals, but I do pin lots of recipes, fashion, home decor and more.) And then leave a comment and let me know.
Contest will be open till end of day on April 9, 2014. Winner will be notified by email and has 48-hours to respond before another winner is chosen. Winner must reside in the lower 48-states of the continental USA. Good Luck.
