Things to Do in Kansas City
Apart from galleries and history museums, Kansas City offers plenty of things to do. In particular, it is an under-the-radar paradise for food and music lovers. Kansas City's barbecue restaurants are without a doubt among the best in the entire country (second maybe only to Texan barbecue). Also, the River Market offers a good selection of fresh produce from local farmers and a variety of restaurants to choose from. For the best cafés, music venues and bars in the city, head to Country Club Plaza, Crossroads Art District, Power and Light District and Westport. Finally, when it comes to outdoor activities, Swope Park offers fantastic walks among trees and lakes (and places to ice skate in winter). Outside of town Wyandotte County Lake Park offers some of the best hiking to be done in the Kansas City area.
