Traveler advice
Getting around
Mostly Car travel - KC Street Car if downtown Kansas City
Traveling by car is best way to get around but once downtown you can use the KC Street Car - it is free to use and can take you to all the popular spots downtown. It is a local favorite to travel this way downtown.
Don't miss
Saturday farmer’s market is a must
There are two great farmers markets on Saturday's that I know about. One is in downtown Merriam (less than a mile from our space - you can take the trail to) the other is in the river market and it is also really fun with shops and other things to do near downtown. *Please make sure that they are open before going*
