Description
The Children's Peace Pavilion is a popular site for school field trips in Kansas City--and for good reason. This interactive, hands-on museum was established in 1995 to help kids think about peace in four ways: feeling good inside, getting along with friends, creating community, and peace on the planet. They don't just think about it either. There are all kinds of activities to keep them busy and focused on peace. Formed by the Community of Christ (and located in the church's temple), the Children's Peace Pavilion is a kids' museum with heart.
