Kansas City, located right in the middle of the continental USA, features a large selection of entertainment venues, from the Fine Arts in the Folly Theater or Lyric Opera, to a world class Zoo, and seasonal attractions, such as the open air Starlight Theater in the summer, and the Renaissance Festival in the fall.

Visitors looking for partying and bar Hopping can check out the Power and Light district, several square miles of bars, clubs, and nightlife. Or, try Westport or America's Pub. The best drag show in town is the Flo Show in Missie B's.

Shopping in KC is a must, from the centrally located Plaza, to Crown Center Shopping District, to outlying Zona Rosa (near the airport), and Ward Parkway and Oak Park Malls. Finding that perfect item is easy in KC.

Don't forget to try the amazing barbecue. Gate's or Arthur Bryant's are popular among locals, but KC Masterpiece is always fun too.


Due to the hub-like nature of the city, there are a multitude of major interstate highways making it easy to get to by car. The closest highways are I-35, I-70, and I-60.

Alternatively, take Amtrak train to Crown Center.

The nearest airport is MCI airport, a bit out of town to the north

Kansas City is very spread out, because the metro area really is many small crossroads communities that grew into each other, and having a car is useful, but if you are familiar with city bus travel, the Max bus route will take very little time. KC, Kansas buses are less reliable and frequently have problems with their A/C.
