Very nice. A great place to learn about an earlier life in Olathe and how important Olathe was to the development of the WEST. Take your time to check out the museum and read the Captions of the displays. Tour the house and barn areas as well. Very Nice!!

I visited Ernie Miller Nature Park the second time for hiking knowing that the Visitor Center would closed during the Lockdown. I hiked the about- a-mile plus long South Trail and had a good work out. Be aware that most of the trail is dirt and rocky, so it could be slippery under wet conditions. The trail crosses a little creek a couple of times, but the crossings were easy to get across. The Prairie grass field is a special attraction. I have toured the Visitor Center before and it is worth a visit.

We went here for a corporate outting and I had no idea what it was walking in. They said "Meet at Main Event in Olathe" and my GPS took me here. Sure enough it's like a pumped up better version of Dave and Busters. The arcade is slightly more expensive for games, $1 per game of Skii Ball seems ridiculous IMO, but everything else made up for it. The laser tag was 2 levels and our VP had everyone do it and set up 5 teams. It was a great time, I may or may not have received the award for highest score and my new title is "The Laser Tag Ninja" (True story). We had so much fun! A small group of us went up on teh ropes course up above that they call 'Gravity' and this was a blast. I have never seen anything like it so it was a great experience. The small zip line up above was a blast and trying to figure out which parts were easy or hard and which ones made you kind of quesie. This was a great finish to a lot of fun and I plan on hitting up the one on the North side of KC next time we are in town. Thanks for the great time and the staff were fantastic! They were over the top accommodating and I am so excited a bunch of HR people went out of their comfort zones to play some fun games!
