During your Kansas City vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
Kansas City's premier museum is especially noted for its Asian art, including Tang dynasty bowls and Ming dynasty furniture; an outdoor sculpture garden with the largest U.S. collection of bronzes by Henry Moore; the largest public collection of works by Missouri native Thomas Hart Benton (closed periodically due to an expansion that will increase the museum's size by 71%, slated for completion in 2007); a collection of 17th- and 18th-century European paintings; Impressionist and post-Impressionist pieces; and American art. The museum includes works by Caravaggio, Titian, Rembrandt, Renoir, Monet, Picasso, Gauguin, van Gogh, Andy Warhol, and Willem de Kooning. The airy Rozelle Court Restaurant has extended dinner hours on Friday, with live jazz. Plan on 2 hours or more here.
Toy and Miniature Museum
Occupying a 1911 mansion, this museum houses an extensive collection of antique dolls, more than 100 furnished dollhouses, marbles, and toys ranging from model trains to games, as well as perfect scale miniatures of houses, rooms, and furniture. The miniatures are fully functional -- scissors cut, clocks run, and musical instruments can be played, making it a fascinating experience for adults and kids alike. You can easily spend a fascinating hour or more 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.
Westin Crown Center
Connected to the Crown Center with its many shops and restaurants and via walkway to Union Station with its Science City, the Westin incorporates a limestone bluff with a rock garden and 60-foot waterfall in its multilevel lobby. Rooms are endowed with all the comforts, including the Westin's trademark Heavenly Beds (with 250-count sheets and down comforters), tiny balconies, and, on the north side, great views of downtown. The hotel's central location, facilities that include a jogging track and basketball court, and special Heavenly Dog Beds complete with dog dishes, make this a popular choice for families, dog owners -- and conventions.
