The home of swing and bebop for some, "The City of Fountains" to others, Kansas City is different things to different people. Music enthusiasts are drawn to the jazz clubs and old haunts of famous musicians such as Charlie Parker and Count Basie. With more fountains than Rome, there is ample opportunity for scenic strolling from fountain to fountain. Stop along the way to discover interesting neighborhoods and browse through eclectic shops. Families are particularly attracted to the city because of its child-friendly events and venues. Science City features hands-on exhibits including a mock television studio where kids can deliver a weather forecast, while the Zoo houses impressive African and Australian exhibits plus an IMAX Theater. The city's museums cover everything from the history of jazz music to a celebration of African American baseball players. Once a trading post for pioneers heading to the Western United States, today Kansas City is a burgeoning metropolis with activities and attractions for visitors of all ages and interests.

Coolest store ever. It's in an old warehouse in the Westbottoms of KCMO (I'd love to know the history) and has the most amazing vibe. Many different things to choose from.

Tried to go once before last month but the parking lot was full. Tried again this month and success a parking space! We spoke with the staff and they said the city required this very large oblong median to be put into the parking lot. It used to be gravel with tons of parking space. Nevertheless persevere as this is a great antique store! I found several items of rarity quite pleased about. In addition most everyone was wearing a mask and adhered to social distancing which was a relief. (Unlike a previously reviewed columia mo at exit 121 we'll never go back to and hopefully trip advisor will publish the review.!). Multiple high end vendors here with an eclectic selection you will enjoy perusing. If you have the energy try the flight of stairs to the second floor! One time we saw Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary here. He was buying one of those old time crock mixing bowls. Was it for Mary? Beautiful historic building! And the area also has a first class farmer's market and seed/garden store.
