Frequently Asked... - The Culinary Center of Kansas City

How long are the private interactive cooking parties?
Most of our interactive parties last about 2½ – 3 hours. It all depends on how long it takes your group to cook and how long to eat! The event is yours! We’ll create one that lasts exactly how long you would like it to.

Do you have certain days of the week or times of the day that you schedule private events?
