Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City, MO
Kansas City

Kansas City is nothing like the cow town many imagine it to be. From its sprawling suburbs to its big-city skyline, this charming, hospitable place offers visitors plenty to see and do.

Northland

The booming Northland provides many visitors with their first glimpse of Kansas City. The city's largest airport, Kansas City International, is situated in this area, while rolling hills and farmland are just minutes away. Several hotels, including the Kansas City Airport Hilton and Embassy Suites Hotel KCI Airport, are within walking distance of the airport and offer easy access to I-435.

A booming economy has made the Northland an area of widespread growth, with new houses and businesses popping up regularly. Visitors staying close to the airport do not have to venture far in search of fun. The area is packed with shopping centers, strip malls and restaurants, including Jazz, Chappell's Restaurant & Sports Museum, Smokehouse Barbecue North and Stroud's Restaurant.

Downtown

Kansas City's impressive downtown skyline can be seen from most surrounding suburbs.... more

Born in KC and lived in the Shawnee Mission area. My dad retired and we moved to Phoenix. I have friends in the KC area that I have kept near and dear for 40 yrs. This summer I visited for 10 days. Like I never left. You must visit the Steamship Arabia Museum at City Market. Very cool and interesting. While there browse the stalls like I did 40 yrs ago. Dine at Bo Lings or the River Brewery. Nightlife is great at the Power and Light Dist. downtown. Also a must do> The Ledgends dining and ... More

Like I never left. You must visit the Steamship Arabia Museum at City Market. Very cool and interesting. While there browse the stalls like I did 40 yrs ago. Dine at Bo Lings or the River Brewery. Nightlife is great at the Power and Light Dist. downtown. Also a must do> The Ledgends dining and shopping area and of course the Country Club Plaza. For a traditional KC Steak dinner the Golden OX has been around for more than 50 yrs. Thursday night is all you can eat KC Prime Rib the best.

We love to visit KCMO - it's a surprising city with much culture in art music and shopping along with many fountains in the plaza area. I say \go if you can\ - you'll have fun! And don't forget to take in the Arabian ship museum and the Central Station area. ... More
