Our City - Activities!
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
Huge, free art museum with sprawling lawn and outdoor sculptures. An absolute must-see in our books.
The Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden
Free botanical garden in the middle of the city - a beautiful little oasis!
Union Station Kansas City
KC's original train station, now a site of countless activities and events for all ages, including Science City and the Planetarium.
Old Westport
This is one of our favorite areas for food and just walking around in KC. Also good for going out for casual drinks if that's your thing.
Country Club Plaza
According to the Plaza tourism website, "The Plaza is an outdoor museum of romantic Spanish architecture and European art where people live and work every day amid its beauty." This is truly some outrageous purple prose, but there is good food and shopping, and there are a lot of fountains down there. KCMO is the City of Fountains after all and most of them are around that area!
Grinders Pizza
Go eat pizza at the place Ross and I had our first date!! DO IT! It's also just outstanding pizza. Then cross the street and visit Art Alley, the always-changing public museum in KC! Don't forget to bring spray paint!
Jacob L. Loose Park
A 75-acre park in the middle of the city! The Battle of Westport took place here! There's a rose garden, a gorgeous pond with bridges, a running and walking trail, playground, and lots of sprawling lawn. This is where Ross and I met up on our first date!
