5 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 some cultural sightseeing at National WWI Museum and Memorial and Jesse James Birthplace Museum. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Burr Oak Woods Conservation Area and Jesse James Bank Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Kansas City: Massachusetts Street (in Lawrence), Pirtle Winery (in Weston) and Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery (in Fort Leavenworth). Spend the 24th (Fri) exploring nature at Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site. And it doesn't end there: steep yourself in history at Union Station, deepen your understanding at Kaleidoscope, see the sky in a new way at The Arvin Gottlieb Planetarium at Union Station, and see the interesting displays at Glore Psychiatric Museum.
