There’s nothing like watching a child’s eyes light up as they take in the sweeping views of Brandmeyer Great Hall or hearing their thunderous applause as the curtains close on a performance.

A visit to the Kauffman Center makes for one of the most captivating field trips in Kansas City as youth experience performances or interact with staff to learn about one of the country’s premier performing arts venues. It’s an experience that sparks a love of the arts that will last a lifetime.

Field trips are an essential part of every student’s educational journey, providing opportunities to learn and explore beyond the confines of the classroom. The Kauffman Center lowers ticket costs, provides transportation assistance and connects young people to our staff and building in a variety of ways allowing students to expand their education.
