Spend eight weeks in the Kemper Arena with American Royalty—American Royal Livestock, that is. This annual livestock show, horse show and rodeo has been a Kansas City tradition since 1899, and showcases the finest animal and agricultural events in the area. Ranked one of the top five rodeos in the nation, you will not want to miss out on any of the excitement!
Catch one of the three mixed repertory seasons the Kansas City Ballet puts on each year. This 25-member professional ballet troupe has called Kansas City home since 1957. Visit KC’s destination for dance and see an excellent show, including the ever-popular Nutcracker.
Come aboard the Arabia Steamboat Museum to catch a glimpse of the Kansas and Missouri frontier life in the 1800s. A perfect time capsule, the Arabia sank into the Missouri River in 1856, taking all its treasures into the muddy waters. Excavated in 1988, the salvaged and restored artifacts are now on display for all to enjoy.
