Things To Do
Andretti Indoor Karting & Games Overland Park
A great spot for family friendly entertainment that just opened in November 2025! A massive complex with indoor go-karts, VR, laser tag, bowling, and a variety of arcade games. They offer a “from-scratch” food menu and a full service bar.
ATLAS 9
An immersive art experience set in a fictional 90s movie theater where “forgotten films” have come to life. It features multiple themed areas like a jazz club, speakeasy, arcade, and pizza parlor, allowing visitors to either follow a story with missions or simply explore the art and photo opportunities.
Country Club Plaza
The Plaza is an open-air shopping and dining destination spanning 15-city blocks! Gorgeous architecture, delicious restaurants, and wide variety of stores where you can shop ‘til you drop.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
A must-see in the heart of Kansas City, this art museum is known for its diverse collection spanning 5,000 years and FREE general admission for all visitors! Tours are offered in guided or self-guided formats. Beyond the art, check out these other spots on the museum grounds: mini-golf course, Rozzelle Court Restaurant, Thou Mayest Coffee Roasters, and lastly, the museum store with gifts to commemorate your visit.
National WWI Museum and Memorial
Any history buffs? Located in downtown KC, America’s official World War I Museum is dedicated to preserving the objects, history and personal experiences of the Great War. After a tour through the museum, venture up Liberty Memorial Tower to the open-air observation deck for a breathtaking 360° view of the Kansas City skyline. Visit the website to purchase admission tickets.
Union Station Kansas City
Down the hill from the WWI museum, we recommend you visit this historic train station featuring attractions like Science City, the Arvin Gottlieb Planetarium, a live theater, restaurants, traveling exhibits, and a giant screen movie theater! FUN FACT: We had dinner at Pierpont’s in Union Station the night we got engaged! We also had our engagement shoot in and around this beautiful landmark.
Power and Light District
Home to more than 50 bars, restaurants, and shops, the Kansas City Power & Light District is an eight-block entertainment hub that tends to be popular with the younger crowd. You can also find the T-Mobile Center in this area, which is Kansas City’s primary indoor arena for entertainment and sports.
