Kansas City is bustling. Ride through the heart of it all in style, all for free thanks to the KC Streetcar, which takes travelers to and from iconic hotspots such as River Market, the Power & Light District, Union Station and Crown Center. Explore some of the most unique, most historic and most quintessentially “Kansas City” things to do and see while traveling along the 2.2-mile route.
KC is famous for their style of BBQ. Arthur Bryans and Gates are historically the most famous and have been there forever. Jack Stack is the Sullins Family’s favorite. Q39 and Joe's are most people's favorites.
For anyone who is an airline aficionado, this is a cute little museum at the downtown airport. I highly recommend it to people who likes airline history.
We highly recommend this museum in the River Market area. It is ranked as one of the top attractions but I always ignored it because it sounded cheesy. Some of the Sullins family members went a few years ago and were surprised at how much they loved it. It is very unique to KC and easy to visit in 1 hour.
For walking around, shopping, eating, etc.
