B&B Theater in Lee's Summit is a great place for kids and adults! They have a screenplay, which is when the kids get to play at a playground area before the movie starts. My daughter absolutely loves it. However, my favorite is the Max 4D theater! With Max 4D you get to experience the seats moving and the wind blowing while watching the movie. Such a great experience! My daughter and I just love this place!
