Air BnB

We recommend Air BnB’s around Liberty or Gladstone. We think that in general these can be easier and more comfortable to stay in if you are from out of town!

Hotel

We will be securing a block of rooms at a hotel so check back again soon!

Road-trip from Mississippi

There are three main routes from Mississippi to Kansas City: Saint Louis - This route is mostly interstate so it is easy driving. If you go this route, make sure to stop by the Saint Louis Arch. Fun fact: Panera was founded in Saint Louis so all of their restaurants are called “Saint Louis Bread Co.” Springfield - Fun stops along this route include Mammoth Springs State Park, Buc-ee’s in Springfield, and Braum’s for ice cream in Springfield! Bentonville - If you choose this route make sure to stop by Onyx in Bentonville for some good coffee! Tip: if you want a certain route, make sure to put the city you want to go through into your GPS first because if not it could take you on a different route.

Road-trip from Texas

There are many fun stops along the way from Texas to Kansas City! Near the beginning of the trip, stop in Longview, TX to visit the arboretum and nature reserve. And if you want to, stop for some coffee in Longview, visit Silver Grizzly Espresso! In Arkansas, stop in Rogers, AR for some coffee at Onyx or enjoy a short walk on one of the many trails in the area! Once you get into Missouri, check out Grand Falls in Joplin, MO! It’s a little bit off the route but is a great rest point! Be sure to pack snacks for the trip! Tip - Do not take the Tulsa route!
