⛲️ Enter The Reel World

Reel World: Atlas9 is described as an “immersive narrative experience set in a transformed 90s movie theater where scenes from forgotten films come to life.” The 45,000+ square foot building will feature dynamic installations, live performers, a traditional movie theater concession stand, pizza parlor, and a hidden speakeasy.

Get Lost: The highly anticipated immersive experience is located at 1100 N 98th St. in KCK, neighboring the new Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City. The experience has been billed as the Midwest’s premiere narrative-driven art experience, and is drawing comparisons to Meow Wolf, another immersive art installation with five locations across the U.S.

Meet Your Makers: From 10:00am to 4:00pm, this free event showcases the artistic talents of Hallmark employees and retirees, offering a rare look at the passion projects they pursue beyond their day jobs. Visitors can browse and buy original artwork, from paintings and pottery to jewelry and textiles, while meeting the artists behind the work.

Free Family Fun: The event also features live music, family-friendly activities, and local food vendors, making it a fun outing for all ages. More than just an art fair, Hallmarket is a celebration of the people who help shape Hallmark’s creative spirit. And best of all? Admission is free!

Taste and See: A Taste of Leawood will take place inside Park Place and feature 25+ participating restaurants. A huge variety of food will be available for guests to sample - from BBQ, pizza, sushi, ramen, drinks, and more. The event is adults-only, rain or shine.

Park Place Provisions: GA admission is $100, and includes entry, unlimited food samples, photo bus access, and 3 street drinks. VIP tickets ($150) give you valet parking and access to your choice of two exclusive experiences from select Park Place businesses.
