COMMITTED TO SAFETY

Resiliency is in our nature. To keep our community safe and healthy, we have launched the KC Clean Commitment which includes: encouraging the use of face masks; adhering to social distancing recommendations; and providing high standards of cleanliness and sanitization.

ROAD TRIPS AND EASY GETAWAYS

Find adventures within easy reach or create your own KC staycation. Drive the open road on a day trip to the oldest distillery west of the Mississippi River, visit Harry S. Truman’s historic hometown or plan a stay in the heart of our vibrant Downtown — all in one of America’s most affordable metropolitan areas.

CREATIVE BREAKS

Get to know the artists, athletes, chefs, mixologists and others who embody the innovative spirit of KC in our video series, “Creative Breaks.” You’ll also find plenty of other ways to support our community with local dining and shopping, virtual tours and other only-in-KC activities.

DELICIOUS DINING

We’re opening up and getting out! Following updated city regulations and safety protocols, new outdoor seating areas are available at many of your favorite places. From biergartens to patios, enjoy open-air dining along with more ways to experience KC’s award-winning restaurants and bars.

IT'S IN OUR NATURE

Hike your way to a tumbling waterfall. Bike through urban trails that feel miles away from it all. Stroll among wildflowers and gardens filled with blooms. In and around Kansas City, there’s plenty of space to keep a safe distance as you explore the outdoors.

ARTISTIC EXPRESSION

Kansas City's creative culture continues to thrive. Find eye-popping murals and dramatic outdoor installations all throughout the city, from the top of the Convention Center to stunning urban canvases throughout the Crossroads Art District.

LOCAL VIBES

Every corner of our city has a story to tell. As we undergo a phased reopening, visit our revitalized Downtown, and hop aboard the free KC Streetcar to the buzzing Power & Light District. Historic jazz is the cornerstone of 18th and Vine, and repurposed warehouses have transformed the heart and soul of the Crossroads Arts District.

MADE IN THE MIDWEST

This is a city where people come to create. Handcrafted goods are what we do best, from small-batch botanical syrups and ceramic art to modern fashion and much more. See what’s open and shop online.
