Holiday Weekend Itinerary in Kansas City

Ochtend

Start your weekend off right by brunching at Gram & Dun a modern American restaurant located on the Country Club Plaza and known for crave-worthy menu.

Ga daarna langs de winkels en boetiekjes op het Spaans geïnspireerde Plaza om je cadeautjes te scoren in chique en lokale winkelcentra. En maak je geen zorgen dat je de lichtjes mist, je komt later terug.

Middag

Trek uw schaatsen aan en stap op het ijs van het Crown Center Ice Terrace , een wintertraditie die geschikt is voor alle leeftijden.

When you’ve had your fill of skating, get caffeinated and grab a bite at one of KC’s stellar coffee shops, like Messenger Coffee Co. (nestled in the heart of the Crossroads Arts District) or The Filling Station.

Avond

Start your night by returning to Crown Center, where you’ll find the jaw-dropping Mayor’s Christmas Tree, which towers at 100 feet high and illuminates the entire district.

After snapping pics and taking in the seasonal splendor, make your way to the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, a stellar venue that features outstanding winter performances, including Handel’s Messiah, Christmas Festival and Kansas City Ballet’s The Nutcracker.

After catching a show, explore some of Kansas City’s favorite bars as they transform into winter wonderlands. Holiday magic can be found throughout the city with cozy rooftop igloos, seasonal cocktails and entire rooms turned into snow globes.

Ochtend

Start your morning slowly with a cup of coffee from the Gemaakt in KC Café, where you’ll find locally made souvenirs (ideal for last-minute presents), pastries and caffeine pick-me-ups from regional roasters—plus the shop’s signature cereal milk lattes.

Zodra u weer voldoende brandstof heeft bijgetankt, neemt u de KC Streetcar en rijdt u naar Union Station , een architectonisch wonder dat dankzij een enorme kerstboom en tijdloze versieringen in alle pracht en praal is gehuld.

Middag

If the Kansas City Chiefs are in town, don your red and yellow and head to Arrowhead Stadium for the most enthusiastic tailgate culture in the country. Come kickoff, you’ll join tens of thousands of fellow fans cheering on the boys in red to gridiron glory.

Those in search of brunch and lunch will find no shortage of options in the area. Head to Rye for down-home comfort food, TACO NACO KC for tacos, burritos and more or, if you can’t decide, make your way to Strang Hall, a food hall featuring multiple cuisines and stylish digs.

Avond

Holiday cheer is in abundance at Winter Magic, a mesmerizing drive-through display featuring a mile of lights guiding you through Platte Purchase Park.

While up north, stop by Zona Rosa for gifts and a look at the merry and bright Northern Lights crowns, a suspended lighting installation that illuminates the entire shopping district.

Sluit de dag in stijl af door de Plaza Lights te bewonderen, een jaarlijkse favoriet die al bijna 100 jaar bestaat en een passende afsluiting is van een perfecte vakantie.
