During your Kansas City vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Thomas Hart Benton Home
From 1939 until he died in his studio in 1975, this 1903, late-Victorian limestone house served as home and studio of Missouri's most renowned 20th-century artist. The house and studio are just as Benton left them, with many personal belongings like clothing, furniture, paints and brushes, and 13 original works, which you can see in about half an hour.
Arabia Steamboat Museum
This cargo steamboat, laden with 220 tons of merchandise destined for settlers out west, sank in the Missouri River in 1856, where it remained preserved in cold mud until it was excavated in the 1980s. A virtual time capsule of the 1850s and one of the best collections of pre-Civil War artifacts in the world, the museum provides a fascinating look at frontier life, with displays of the steamboat's cargo, from china and hardware to jewelry and leather boots (900 shoes and boots alone are on display). Tours begin with a film of the excavation and restoration of parts of the boat (which are now on display); plan on 1 1/2 hours here.
Negro Leagues Baseball Museum/American Jazz Museum
These two unique museums, housed under one roof, are in the historic Jazz District. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum tells the compelling story of segregated baseball, from the founding of the Negro National League just a few blocks away in 1920, until Jackie Robinson, who played for the Kansas City Monarchs, signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. The Jazz Museum pays tribute to jazz greats ranging from Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington to Ella Fitzgerald and Charlie Parker, with listening stations throughout. Be sure to see the film in the visitor center highlighting the golden days of the 1930s, when this very district boasted more than 60 jazz clubs and served as the commercial heart of Kansas City's African-American community. The Blue Room, attached to the complex, stages jazz concerts 4 nights a week. Plan on 2 hours here.
The Elms Resort & Spa
The Kansas City area's only full-service resort and spa occupies a historic 1912 limestone hotel situated on 16 landscaped acres, about a 30-minute drive from downtown and the airport. Its holistic spa and wellness center offers body and beauty treatments, including Swiss and Vichy showers; mud, seaweed, and aloe body wraps; mineral baths; hydrotherapy; massage (including reflexology and couples massage); and more. Rooms are basic, but the extensive recreational offerings, including an indoor swim track (a donut-shaped lap pool), banked jogging track, hiking and biking trails, badminton, horseshoes, and volleyball, as well as its parklike setting and rustic grandeur, make this a top-choice restorative getaway.
Southmoreland on the Plaza
This is a gem of a bed-and-breakfast, located in a 1913 Colonial Revival mansion in a peaceful residential area near the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The B&B offers well-appointed, themed rooms named after famous Kansas Citians and equipped with one of three extras: a fireplace, Jacuzzi, or outdoor deck. They also boast a suite in a carriage house, which is equipped with all three. Rates include afternoon complimentary wine and appetizers, evening hot beverages and sweets, and gourmet breakfast served in an enclosed veranda or on an outdoor deck. Televisions are available in rooms during the week but are removed on weekends; there are TVs in some of the common rooms along with videos -- all with happy endings.
Great Wolf Lodge
Geared towards families with its massive indoor/outdoor waterpark (free for hotel guests), huge game arcade, children's activity room, and laundry facilities, this woods-themed lodge combines the adventure of a rustic retreat with the comfort of an upscale hotel. From the moment guests walk into the four-story grand lobby with its overstuffed sofas, huge stone fireplace, and an animated clock tower that captivates wee ones, this hotel aims for the "wow" factor. Seven styles of suites, all with patio or balcony, are available, including KidCabin Suites that feature a "log cabin" complete with bunk beds. Some suites also have fireplaces and whirlpools.
