The story follows the Griswold family through a Christmas visit that keeps going wrong, and the page rates it PG-13 with a runtime of 1 hour 37 minutes, so it fits older children and teens more than preschoolers. Showtimes are 12:30 pm, 4:00 pm, and 7:30 pm across the run. General admission is printed as $4.00 a ticket, and the station tells families to buy tickets for the film rather than treating it as part of a walk-through. The film page itself prints November 20–25 without a year; the year used here comes from the station's holiday schedule on the same site, which places this title beside runs that end January 3 and 4, 2027. ## Similar picks in Kansas City - [KCRep: A Christmas Carol 2026](https://grassyknees.com/kansas-city/activities/kcrep-a-christmas-carol-2026--listing-884e14f6b8de6bd8f6be3bb7) — Nov 21 – Dec 24 · Spencer Theatre (UMKC campus) · Paid · checked Oct 14.
