Famous Landmarks
Country Club Plaza
39.0997°N, 94.5786°W
The Country Club Plaza, opened in 1923, is the first planned shopping district in the United States designed for the automobile. Developer J.C. Nichols modeled it entirely on Seville, with stucco towers, ceramic frescoes, 30 fountains, and a carillon. Each Thanksgiving since 1925, the lighting of its 280,000 golden bulbs marks the official start of the holiday season.
National WWI Museum and Memorial
39.0997°N, 94.5786°W
The National WWI Museum and Memorial, dedicated in 1926 as Liberty Memorial and designated National Museum in 2004 by Congress, is the only American museum devoted to World War I. Its 217-foot Liberty Memorial Tower, in Egyptian Revival style, offers from its top a unique panoramic view of Kansas City's skyline and rolling hills.

The Power and Light District, renovated between 2006 and 2008 across 8 acres downtown, is a reinvented entertainment district built around the KC Live! Block — a courtyard with a retractable roof. Its eight blocks of restaurants, bars, and concert halls, including the Sprint Center (now T-Mobile Center) opened in 2007, animate the city's nocturnal heart.
