It starts with a question every parent knows well:
“What should we do today?”
In Overland Park, Kansas—one of the fastest-growing family communities in the Midwest—you’re never far from an answer. But for families looking to truly spend time together, not just kill time, the best answer might just be Hawk’s Outpost.
A Place That Gets What Families Really Need
Too often, family outings feel like a compromise. The younger kids want one thing, teens want something cooler, and the adults? Well, they just want to relax a bit. Hawk’s Outpost understands this dynamic and flips the script. Here, everyone plays. Everyone wins.
It’s more than just an arcade (though the 70+ games are wildly fun). It’s a collection of attractions carefully built with multi-generational entertainment in mind, set right inside Bluhawk, the region’s new epicenter for sports and recreation.
Whether you’re chasing tickets in the arcade, teaming up in laser tag, challenging your teen to a Krazy Darts showdown, or bowling under glowing lights with music in the background, Hawk’s Outpost makes it easy to stay for hours without anyone asking, “Can we go yet?”
A Day Out That Feels Like a Vacation
One mom described it best: “We walked in thinking we’d stay for an hour and ended up making a whole day of it.” That’s the beauty of a destination where family fun doesn’t feel forced or frantic. There’s space to move, food when you’re hungry, cold drinks when you need them, and surprises around every corner.
And on rainy days, school breaks, birthdays, or “just because” weekends, knowing you’ve got one place that works for every age group? That’s golden.
Bluhawk and Beyond: Exploring Overland Park Together
Of course, Hawk’s Outpost is just one part of the Overland Park family experience. Pair your outing with:
- A stroll through Prairiefire, where shops and restaurants line a pedestrian-friendly street
- A visit to the Museum at Prairiefire for a dose of science and imagination
- A post-play meal at Local Pig or Unforked, both known for fresh, kid-friendly menus
- An afternoon walk at Deanna Rose Farmstead (seasonal)
But it’s the energy and all-in-one fun of Hawks Outpost that brings families back again and again. It’s not just a “thing to do” in Overland Park—it’s a memory waiting to happen.
