A city known for amazing food, exciting music and first-class performing arts, Kansas City, Missouri, is a fabulous place to visit. Many cities are known for their cuisine, but few actually have sauces and cuts of meat named for them. If you are coming to Kansas City, youd better come hungry. In the case of one real inner-city treat, Kansas City-style barbecue, it is all about the sauce. With over 100 barbecue restaurants, Kansas City deserves its title as the âWorlds Barbecue Capital.â The railroad played a big role in Kansas Citys growth, so it comes as no surprise that Union Station has been turned into a popular tourist attraction. You can spend the entire day here, visiting the Engineerium, where children learn to build, or taking in the star show at the Gottlieb Planetarium. Union Station is also home to Science City, an amazing attraction where you can ride a bike 30 feet above the ground, pilot a space shuttle and enjoy numerous other fun activities. For music enthusiasts, a trip to the American Jazz Museum is in order. Here you can walk through the exhibit or tap your feet to one of the many live performances. To experience genuine Kansas City jazz, head downtown to The Drum Room, an upscale restaurant in the Power and Light District of downtown. Kansas City is a wonderful city for sports lovers. The Chiefs have been thrilling football fans here since 1960. Baseball fans are always in for an enjoyable day when they take in a home game of the Kansas City Royals. Like much of the U.S., Kansas City has discovered professional soccer. The Kansas City Wizards keep cheering fans on their feet from March through October.
