During your Kansas City vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
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.
Hotel Phillips
Built in 1931 and exalting the Art Deco style (it's listed on the National Register of Historic Places), this classic downtown boutique hotel has been updated but retains its original woodwork, marble, lighting, and fixtures -- including an 11-foot-tall gilded goddess overlooking the lobby. Rooms rise above the ordinary with a mix of contemporary furnishings and vintage touches such as plaster molding on the ceilings. If you opt for a standard room, request a brighter, corner room. The hotel is geared toward business travelers, but its historic charm and downtown location make it a good bet for couples as well.
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.
The Quarterage Hotel Westport
Near Westport's nightlife but far enough away for a good night's sleep, this modest but well-kept locally owned hotel, decorated with copies of Thomas Hart Benton's works, offers small, spotless, comfortable rooms, plus extras such as free local phone calls, a warm buffet breakfast, and an evening cocktail hour (Mon-Sat). VIP rooms toss in minifridges and sofa beds.
