Summers in Kansas City can be hot, but don?t spend the entire summer in your air-conditioned apartment. You can splash in a wave pool, lounge in a whirlpool or shoot down a waterslide at one of Kansas City?s several water parks, including Oceans of Fun and the Schlitterbahn Vacation Village Water Park. Or, let the family cool off in the fountain at Crown Center where close to 100 water jets shoot up to 60 feet in the air. When you rent a Kansas City apartment, you?ll quickly notice the many fountains around town, but remember, you?re only allowed to splash around in the one at Crown Center.

Step out of your new Kansas City apartment at night and you?ll find a world of entertainment. In downtown?s Kansas City Power and Light District, you?ll find a block of restaurants, bars and night clubs.
