Kansas City: It Ain't Just BBQ (But Let's Be Honest, Mostly It Is)
Kansas City, oh Kansas City. City of fountains, jazz cats, and enough burnt ends to feed a small army (or a very hungry you). But fear not, weary traveler, there's more to this midwestern metropolis than meets the meaty eye.

| What Are Fun Things To Do In Kansas City |
Culture Buff? We Got You Covered (Between Bites of Burnt Ends)
- The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art: Think ancient Egyptian sarcophagi chilling next to modern masterpieces? This museum's got your back (and your thirst for artistic knowledge). Plus, those giant shuttlecock things out front? Instagram gold.
- American Jazz Museum & Negro Leagues Baseball Museum: Double dose of history, folks! Learn about swinging tunes and America's pastime, all under one roof. Just don't argue with the docent about whether Jeter would have been a better fit for the Negro Leagues (spoiler alert, it's a debate for the ages).
Feeling Adventurous? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
- Worlds of Fun: America's heartland answer to Disneyland (minus the exorbitant ticket prices... maybe). Get your adrenaline pumping on the Detonator, a coaster that'll have you screaming like a banshee on a sugar rush.
- Kauffman Stadium or Arrowhead Stadium: Catch a Royals or Chiefs game and experience the electric atmosphere of Kansas City sports. Just be prepared to learn the offside rule in football the hard way (it's complicated, don't worry about it).

Need a Chill Afternoon? We Speak Your Language
- Crown Center: Fancy shops, a SEA LIFE aquarium (because who doesn't love watching adorable otters frolic?), and the iconic Apple Fountain (don't even think about taking a bite).
- Country Club Plaza: Think charming European streetscape meets high-end shopping. Window shop, grab a coffee, and pretend you're a millionaire for an afternoon (it's the little things).
And of Course, the Food Scene (Because It Is Kansas City)
- Barbecue. Everywhere. All the Time. Joe's, Gates, Arthur Bryant's - pick your poison (or should we say, your preferred smoky, meaty heaven?). Just be prepared to get down and dirty with some delicious ribs.
- Local Brews: Kansas City is a craft beer haven. Boulevard Brewing Company is a classic, but there are tons of smaller breweries serving up unique and tasty options.
Important Note: Do not attempt the Kansas City Barbeque Challenge (trying every BBQ joint in town in 24 hours). You will regret it. Deeply.
