Things To Do
Union Station Kansas City
Union Station's Grand Hall is decked out with trees, tinsel, lights and more during the holidays. Take the kids to see the Holiday Express Train as it rolls into the station, bringing loads of Christmas spirit, including Santa, his workshop, reindeer and elves for everyone to see.
National WWI Museum and Memorial
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
Worlds Of Fun
WinterFest is Kansas City’s newest and grandest holiday tradition, so let yourself be whisked away as Worlds of Fun is transformed into a magical winter village filled with ice skating, family rides, seasonal décor, live entertainment, a nightly tree lighting and more.
Christmas in the Park
Thanksgiving week marks the return of Christmas in the Park, a festive drive-through display in Longview Lake Park. A tradition for more than 25 years, the park is transformed into a delightful winter wonderland with more than 300,000 lights and almost 200 animated figures. The event is free, but donations are accepted to benefit local charities.
Kansas City Zoo
Museum at Prairiefire
Martin City Brewing Company - The Pub
Boulevard Brewing Company
Country Club Plaza
A local tradition for nearly 90 years, the Plaza Lights span 15-blocks on the famed Country Club Plaza, featuring thousands of glimmering, jewel-colored bulbs that accentuate every dome, tower and window of the Spanish-inspired shopping district.
Crown Center
Checking in at a lofty 100 feet, the Mayor’s Christmas Tree at Crown Center stretches higher than those on display at the White House and Rockefeller Center. The massive holiday icon sparkles with 7,200 white bulbs and represents the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund, which aids Kansas City’s less fortunate. Mayor Sly James and a special guest always flip the switch the night after Thanksgiving.
