8 days in Kansas City Itinerary

The largest municipality in Missouri, Kansas City has an impressive array of world-class museums, shopping areas, and great places to eat, all of which attract tourism to the area.

Do your shopping at Zona Rosa and Country Club Plaza. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Snow Creek and Brookside. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Kansas City: Buffalo Soldier Memorial Park (in Leavenworth), Jowler Creek Vineyard & Winery (in Platte City) and Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge (in Mound City). And it doesn't end there: learn insider's secrets on Barley Bus Tours, look for all kinds of wild species at Burr Oak Woods Conservation Area, indulge in some personalized pampering at Serenity on the Square, and pick up a one of a kind souvenir at Brass Armadillo Antique Mall - KC.
