Things To Do
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
We love going on walks to the Nelson Atkins Museum. Sometimes we relax or play catch on the lawn and other times we adventure inside to take in the world-class art collection. Best of all: it's free!
Loose Park and the Loose Park Rose Garden
We met playing spike ball at Loose Park and it is now our backyard! We love going on runs around the park, playing sports in the open spaces, and ice skating on the pond in the winter. It contains a beautiful rose garden and informative civil war walking tour. A keen eye will notice Japanese flora, inspired by our sister city, Kurashiki, Japan.
The Country Club Plaza
The country club plaza opened in 1923 as the first shopping mall in the United States. It was designed with Spanish architecture to mimic Seville, Spain, but boasts more fountains. It's an outdoor shopping area that is pedestrian friendly.
National WWI Museum and Memorial
Best view of downtown KC! A great spot to stroll even if you don't plan on enjoying the best WWI museum in the U.S.
The Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden
Most peaceful and colorful garden in the city. Great spot to enjoy a coffee!
Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium
Our Zoo spans 200 acres and contains more than 10,000 animals. The aquarium was just completed last year and really is worth a visit. We also have free-roaming kangaroos that were donated by the University of Missouri-Kansas City (the Roos).
Union Station Kansas City
Originally opened in 1914 as a functioning train station, Union Station is currently hosting the Titanic exhibit and is home to a planetarium, interactive science center, movie theater, and restaurants.
Boulevard Brewing Tours & Recreation Center
A KC staple! Check out a tour of our local brewery or hang out on the rec dec and drink some local brews.
