A World War 1 museum with a good view of KC’s downtown area. Even better at nighttime! You can buy tickets to go up into Liberty Tower if you like heights. (Museum tickets $19.50 per adult, Liberty Tower tickets $6 per adult)
Loose Park
One of Julie’s favorite places to spend a chill day…Go for a jog, a casual walk through the rose garden, hang out on the lawn, play tennis, hammock, whatever you enjoy. (Free & easy parking!)
Weston Bend State Park
A further drive, but if you’re seeking nature and one of the most “hiking” vibes you can get in the KC area, this is the spot to go. The town nearby has a cool underground Irish pub (O’Malley’s) and some wineries.
Kansas City Royals Baseball

Casual Animal Brewing Co
One of Julie’s favorite breweries because of the vibes, and they always have interesting craft beers to try. There’s also shuffleboard, darts, and tabletop games to keep ya entertained.
Seven Swans Crêperie KC
A charming & quality place to grab a sweet or savory crepe. Because it’s so good, it’s usually pretty busy; be prepared to wait for a seat & your food!
Q39 - Midtown
A great KC BBQ eatery, and where we went on our first date. Might be better to make reservations if you plan on going during peak meal times!
Joe's KC BBQ
Another great BBQ place; The original location is an old gas station. If you go during peak meal times, be prepared for longer lines. Or, do Julie’s trick: order the Z-man sandwich online for pick up!
Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium
For those of you who enjoy zoos! (Tickets $24/adult)
Parlor
If you’re with a group of people who all want something different to eat, Parlor is a location with multiple restaurants & bars. Think like, an upscale mall food court.
Power and Light District
A bar district with some restaurants and a courtyard in the middle. It’s very close to the hotels we have room blocks at. Also a place we went on our first date!
River Market Kansas City
A small market area that has Farmer's Markets on Saturday mornings, and little spots to eat/shop.
