Let your wild things meet the wild things at the Kansas City Zoo. Located in Swope Park, this zoo features five main sections—Africa, Australia, Tiger Trail, KidZone and The Valley—as well as several special exhibitions and attractions, rides and shows. See the new polar bear exhibit in the front plaza, ride a camel in the KidZone, ride a ski-lift over the African Plains and more!
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 fat and happy at one of Kansas City’s best-kept culinary secrets. Happy Gillis Café & Hangout is a local favorite, serving up specials and smiles in beautiful, old Columbus Park. Enjoy a casual lunch, a leisurely brunch or a delightful dinner at one of KC’s most unique dining experiences.
