This is a great museum and very well curated. It really is two parts. The inside museum which is excellent and the actual outside memorial which is impressive and if you have not been to Kansas City before, the view of the city is great. This is a must see if you visit Kansas City. parking can be a little tough on the loop road in front of the museum, but it is a nice walk if you can't find a spot. Don't miss the café, great food, wonderful personal service

3. KC Streetcar

Reviewed By KV-MKE - Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The streetcar is very handy for getting to sights at the north (the public market) and south (Union Station, WWI museum). And you can't beat the price.
But, it was completely jammed - even at the first stop. We traveled with an elderly aunt, and it was very difficult.

Stopped by here for drink and were greeted warmly by the bartender. He was quite witty and entertaining, which made it worth the stop to begin with. Decent list of beers and ciders. I went with the kolsch, which wasn't too bad and the cider was good as well. Nice space, decent size, and a guy singing in the corner, made it an overall enjoyable experience. I would stop there again and try out some of their other beers.

Went here to see The Color Purple-The musical. The facility is very nice. The acoustics are good. However, it was a bit tricky to get from the parking garage to our seats but they had guides all along the way directing you. Very nice.
6. Big Rip Brewing Company
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Dan A - Liberty, Missouri, United States
Really loved the beer here last Saturday night. The location makes it challenging in comparison to several other places closer to Armour road. I do intend to look into the "brewbus" which offers transport (for fee) among the breweries...sort of a hassle-free pub crawl. So, the beer here was quite good. Possible improvements: 1) despite being able to order food delivered from a couple places, it would be great to have some food options available, and 2) would be good to be open after 10pm on a Saturday. All this said, I'll likely be back at some point.
7. Arabia Steamboat Museum

4.5 based on 1 reviews
The Arabia Steamboat Museum is a favorite Kansas City attraction, a history museum housing 200 tons of cargo from life on the American frontier in 1856.
Reviewed By Les R - Kansas City, MO
I sometimes find museums a little boring, but I found this museum extremely interesting! Its the cargo from an 1850s steam boat that went down just north of Kansas City in the Missouri river. I was surprised by all the goods from the boat that are so well preserved. It feels like a step back in time. There is also some pieces of the boat itself. The tour guides are very knowledgeable! There is a short film near the beginning. We were amazed that two of the men from the original excavation were on site and made a point of coming by and speaking with us and answering questions. Its obvious they love the project and the museum. We spent just short of two hours here but easily could have stay longer.
8. The Firehouse on 20th Bar & Grill

Reviewed By Dennie E - Independence, Missouri
Christine's Firehouse grill is hard to find, it's tucked away in North Kansas City. But it is worth finding. We had the tenderloin and beer battered fries. We ordered an extra bun and shared, I think the tenderloin. Could have served 3 people. Both the sandwich and the fries were extremely tasty. I can't wait to get back out in that area.
The service was very friendly, the tone of the place is upbeat, pleasant dining experience
9. Screenland Armour Theatre

They have restored this 1930's (?) movie theater. The chairs are really comfortable. They have two theaters about 75 seats a piece. There is a bar where you can get drinks for the show (alcoholic or not). They also have old video games from the 1980s like Pac Man, Galaga, etc. It seems that they show old movies and recent independent films. We had a great time. Definitely something different.

This park has a lot of shelters and our group of 80 had reserved one near the ball field and restrooms. Overall everything was clean and well taken care of. We had plenty of benches/tables and except for the heat it was a great afternoon.
