Things To Do
Arabia Steamboat Museum
We went to this museum recently and very much enjoyed it! When the mighty Steamboat Arabia sank near Kansas City on September 5, 1856, she carried 200 tons of mystery cargo. Lost for 132 years, its recovery in 1988 was like finding the King Tut’s Tomb of the Missouri River. The discovery was truly a modern day treasure-hunting story at its best.
Boulevard Brewing Company
They offer free, first come first serve tours of the brewery, along with free beer samples! If you miss out on the tour, they have a great tap room you can check out.
