My Top 5 favorite Christmas spots:
Crown Center– “A Kansas City tradition”. Crown Center is so so magical during Christmas!! Visit Santa, travel through Gingerbread Village, eat the best food of course, and even ICE SKATE at the Crown Center Ice Terrace! Crown Center at Christmas has always reminded me of a mini NYC and is one of my all-time favorite traditions!
2405 Grand Blvd. Ste 200
Kansas City, MO 64108
Plaza Lights- walk around KC’s famous Country Club Plaza and see thousands of lights, shop your favorite retailers, catch a carriage ride and so much more! One of my favorite things to do throughout the holidays!! There’s always something new to do and see every time you go.
4706 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64112
Union Station- I love visiting our gorgeous Union Station any time of the year, but when it’s lit up with Christmas trees, live music, and a gingerbread contest it’s one of the most mesmerizing places to visit during a Kansas City Christmas!
Ride the Holiday Express Train Dec 18-22!! LOVE this tradition for kids and the family! Or kids at heart like me 🙂
30 W Pershing Rd, Kansas City, MO 64108
Christmas in the Park- a drive-thru park FULL of Christmas lights…yes it’s as magical as it sounds!! My family and I always bake our favorite Christmas treats, make hot chocolate, and pile in the car to enjoy the lights. People from different states drive in for this, and let me tell you it’s very worth it!
3901 SW Longview Park Drive
Lee’s Summit, MO 64134
Visit Santa- If you have little ones this is a must! Crown Center’s Santa Center is so so much fun for the whole family!! Once you get inside the room kids get to pass the time in line by going through ‘Gingerbread Village’, and makes for the best pictures and memories! GO EARLY because these lines get crazyyy long!!
Places to eat (including stops for the big kids :))
Fritz’s- Such a fun place to take the family while meeting Santa in Crown Center! There’s no servers- order over an old-fashion phone and have your food delivered to you by a train!! One of my favorite memories as a kid, especially during the holidays!
Cooper’s Hawk- y’all already know this is one of my favorite restaurants in Kansas City! During the holiday’s it’s one of the #1 places to eat because of the Plaza Light views, and of course the amazing food and wine bar!
4686 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64112
