Visit one of the oldest Missouri traditions. Since 1901, the Missouri State Fair has showcased all the favorite concerts, animal exhibits and competitions, homemade crafts, shows and foods of the Show-Me State for local residents and out-of-town (or state) guests. Spend one day or all eleven days of the festival taking in the best concerts and events of the season.

Get close to nature through the floral attractions at the Powell Gardens, where the whole family can get active as well as educated. Learn about the different plants, trees, vegetables, fruits and herbs as you walk through the gatehouse, perennial garden, harvest garden and more. Sneak in some exercise along the scenic Nature Trail or relax as the kids play in the interactive Fountain Garden.

Bring the kids to the Hallmark Headquarters for a magical experience. Located in these headquarters, Kaleidoscope offers children (and adults) the opportunity to unleash their creativity. See your imagination come to life through art at this attraction. Make paintings, collages, puzzles, jewelry and more. Each themed area provides leftover materials from Hallmark’s manufacturing process for your use.

Visit Kansas City’s Uptown Theater for the perfect setting for trade shows, weddings, parties, banquets, seminars and concerts. This historical landmark offers four rooms for public and private events. See your favorite singers in an entertainment venue where movies as well as live vaudeville and stage productions were hosted until the 1970s.
