For a century, the Liberty Memorial has stood in Kansas City, growing from a community landmark to a nationally designated museum and global institution.
From hands-on museums to animal encounters, KC offers nonstop fun for families with kids of every age.
From crisp and flavorful burnt ends to Kansas City’s signature sauce, this community treats barbecue as a form of art. You’re in the right place to get a true taste of the Barbecue Capital of the World.
Practically every stop on the Kansas City Streetcar offers a free attraction or experience for visitors looking to save.
Here in KC, we find passion in each creative endeavor. Our love for the city is proudly our worst-kept secret, and we invite everyone to join in on the celebration. Years of practice make improvisation sound perfect. Hours in the smoker are worth minutes on the plate, and properly cheering for the team demands 142.2 record-breaking decibels. Welcome to Kansas City, where everything we do is from the heart.
KC always offers a full calendar of events and things to do. Here’s how to make the most of your weekend.
