🌆 Kansas City | KANSAS CITY

Located at the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers, straddling the border between Missouri and Kansas, this vibrant city faces its namesake across the state line. ⛲ Known as the "City of Fountains," it boasts countless beautiful water features. The PLAZA shopping district is great for strolling, though many shops close as early as 7 PM. 📚 The public library is designed like a giant bookshelf—so cool and Insta-worthy! 🏀 The basketball experience hall is perfect for families and couples. I saw a dad playing hoops with his knee-high son while mom snapped photos 📸. When the little guy got tired, he just watched his dad keep shooting. Even the shooting machines felt more forgiving here—I usually score 40+ back home, but hit 70+ there! 🕊️ The Liberty Memorial area is vast and ideal for a relaxing walk. From above, you can see the old train station below. Stepping inside feels like traveling back in time to an old British film 🎬. My American friend mentioned trains are rare now—apparently flights can be cheaper than train tickets 😂. 🎨 The last two photos are from the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Its outdoor Kansas City Sculpture Garden features a giant shuttlecock 🏸—a popular photo spot (with frequent reminders not to touch it!). 🎢 And then there’s WORLD OF FUN… their roller coasters are so intense, I still get nervous just looking at pictures 😅. #KansasCity #TravelUSA #HiddenGems #FamilyTravel #SculptureGarden #AmericanMidwest
