Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop & Farm invites visitors of all ages to discover a working 19th century farm with oxen, horses, and other livestock-where your family can engage in some of the activities that were a part of daily life for the Mahaffie family and their neighbors. Begin your visit in the Heritage Center to visit exhibits and watch a 10 minute video. Activities, admission and events vary seasonally.
The exhibition with lots of documentation about the family, their roots and their lives but also very good informative documentation about what happened in those years in general with timelines.
One of the best I saw so far.
You can see also farm buildings and animals but that was uninteresting as everything was closed - at least during the week now.

A taste of country dropped into the city. Something for everyone: Cow milking demo, goat feeding, pony rides, bobcats, blacksmith demo, ice cream store, playgrounds, one room schoolhouse, and more. Many educational aspects. Stroller friendly. Children will love it; teens--not so much.

Park Place features specialty shops & boutiques in an environment of tree-lined streets & public squares. Unique local & national restaurants serve a variety of cuisine & offer outdoor dining. Considered Leawood's downtown at 117th & Nall Ave.
Wonderful place to visit for special shopping you will not find elsewhere. Plenty of really good restaurants to chose from.
Gordon B., Grille at Park Place, among others. You can ice skate, or just stroll around and enjoy the view. A small version of the Plaza.

Wonderscope Children's Museum of Kansas City sparks a lifelong love of learning through the power of play. Wonderscope is a family-friendly place full of imaginative, interactive exhibits and programs where young children and adults can explore and discover the adventure of learning together.
This is a great place if you need to let a toddler run wild for a few hours; be prepared for the kids to get wet, and messy as there is a room they can use paints!

A long time treat in Eastern Europe during the holidays is Povitica. This a holiday bread, baked like a coffee cake. Povitica is the word used in Croatia for this wonderful treat. ( The Serbians, Slovenians and Poles all have something similar.) In Kansas City there is an area called Strawberry Hill. For the last hundred years it has primarily been populated by Croatians. This treat is baked in many flavors; Black Walnut, Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate, English Walnut just name a few. The bakery is run by the same family since it began. Now located in Merriam. They welcome visitors , give bakery tours and have a large sample area to taste the many varieties. These make wonderful gifts .
I highly recommend a visit and the chance to sample the many varieties available .

We met here with several family members from out of state during the Fourth of July weekend. None of us had ever been here, I saw this on their website. All of us... ages 3 to 74 were very surprised at this wonderful park. Lots of playground equipment, plenty of shade covered picnic tables, multiple charcoal grills, large, clean restrooms, well maintained paths. Clean, well groomed, ample parking. We will choose to meet here again!

Always a pleasure when traveling to find where the locals go to met and eat. Nice nooks for gathering. They have something I found unique, that is the bread from the bakery next door, they share an open wall between them and you can move from the bakery to the coffee shop. You can get a slice of the bakery bread, toasted and topped with a variety of jelly or peanut butter. I tried the Walnut Berry with peanut butter and honey. While it's a local favor and recommended I did not find it much to my taste. It wasn't bad, tasty of course, but diffidently a local favor. It was very interesting to see the bread baked in such a manner and stacked on it's end until ordered. Good Latte and service. Charming. Business people there with laptops, free internet, Families there, Mom and kids. Good mix. Enjoyed the morning newspaper and reading here. There are photos on their website. Take a look!

Fun place to go to buy fresh produce, plants, flowers and more. The prices aren't cheap, but you are supporting local folks, so that makes it ok. It can get pretty crowded. Also, good idea to take canvas bag to carry stuff

The Kansas City Automotive Museum offers a 12,000 facility that rotates 30 vehicles every 4-6 months. There are reader boards throughout the Museum that highlight significant Kansas City automotive history. The Museum also includes interactive features like our professional driving simulators, design art studio, our 1974 Sterling Kit Car which people can sit in & much more!
The greater KC area finally has a world-class museum of automotive history. Not just a "car museum" with multiple vehicles, this one displays old cars along with great info about their place in local history. Unlike similar museums, this one is constantly changing, as the cars are privately owned by collectors, who volunteer their vehicles (and their time) to make the museum a success. One section is devoted to car clubs, and changes regularly. Another is devoted to race cars from the region. There is also an interactive area that features driving simulators.

Overland Park Convention Center opened in November of 2002 on a 26-acre site in the heart of Overland Park, the largest suburban city in the Kansas City metropolitan area and the second largest city in Kansas. Adorned with over sixty original works of art and equipped with state-of-the-art communications systems, the 254,000 square foot complex features a 60,000 sq. Ft. Exhibit hall that connects to the 25,000 sq. Ft. Edwin C. Eilert Ballroom and 15,000 sq. Ft. Of meeting room space. Natural light radiates throughout the unusually spacious (44,000 sq. Ft.) Pre-function and registration areas.
We attended a national convention here and found it to be more than adequate. The smaller rooms were perfect for our committee meeting and merchandise stores. The large areas accommodated our business meetings and grand banquet. Very effiencient layout. Convenient location to restaurants and shopping. Free parking.
