10 Outdoor Activities in Kansas City That You Shouldn't Miss

January 13, 2022 Chanda Heide

The home of swing and bebop for some, "The City of Fountains" to others, Kansas City is different things to different people. Music enthusiasts are drawn to the jazz clubs and old haunts of famous musicians such as Charlie Parker and Count Basie. With more fountains than Rome, there is ample opportunity for scenic strolling from fountain to fountain. Stop along the way to discover interesting neighborhoods and browse through eclectic shops. Families are particularly attracted to the city because of its child-friendly events and venues. Science City features hands-on exhibits including a mock television studio where kids can deliver a weather forecast, while the Zoo houses impressive African and Australian exhibits plus an IMAX Theater. The city's museums cover everything from the history of jazz music to a celebration of African American baseball players. Once a trading post for pioneers heading to the Western United States, today Kansas City is a burgeoning metropolis with activities and attractions for visitors of all ages and interests.

Line Creek Trail

Reviewed By KansasCityKG82

The best part of the trail is that there isn't one! You can let your kids and pets swim in the creek, find deer in the early morning or early evening, spot owls, hawks and eagles, and just really be one with nature. There are parts that are flat. Parts that are hilly. Parts that are fields and parts that are forests. Challenge yourself and start in riverside, walk all the way to Barry Road then back down. Go off the beaten path and visit "the little white store" (also known as Price Right) and really enjoy this Northland Gem.
