I am the kind of parent that childless people hate. I take my kids to hip restaurants and am not deterred by the complete lack of booster seats, high chairs, or chicken fingers on the menu. I am simply not content to while away my weekends at home or limit our outings to places that have designated stroller parking. I wheel our mammoth double wide into petite boutiques and carry my cooing baby into austere galleries. We boldly go where no family unit has gone before.

S’more To Do At The Nelson. Sculpture Garden Luminary Walk.

By day, the Nelson Atkins Sculpture Garden is a marvelous place to while away an afternoon. The lush green lawn is the perfect place to spread a blanket and canoodle with your sweetie under a shady tree, or succumb to the tranquil surrounds and snooze. 

You can claim one of the plentiful park benches and lose yourself in a good book, or simply roam and enjoy the world class art. 

It is stunning in every season and in every light.

A standout time to visit is on the Friday after Thanksgiving, by night, when flickering candles light the pathways and the Bloch Building is shown at its luminescent best.

 The yearly Luminary Walk is fun for all ages, with fire pits, smores, and plenty of magical corners in the garden to explore by candlelight.

It’s a great way to kick off your holiday merrymaking.
