👍 Definitely a fun place to visit and explore. From a hikers perspective, very poor signage from one trail to another. There were trails blazed in red and we only noticed that because a rock was red here, a tree was red there and we figured that must be the case. There are white signs and arrows, but...

👍👍 Love going here on my lunch breaks! Peaceful, well maintained park. Great place for a walk, picnic, or fishing.

👍👍 We stopped in for Dinner at Franks in Parkville. This town just makes you want to walk and explore. From Park U to English Landing Park on the Missouri River to the quaint downtown you just feel like you have to walk, eat and explore. It's easy to just start walking and end up making a whole day...

👍👍 Lovely estate! We do the wine fest every year.

Long-running ice cream & milkshake parlor in a historic building with a marble bar.

Historic site established in 1977 at the home & studio of Regionalist artist Thomas Hart Benton.

👍👍 I'm in love with this place. I could seriously write a book about it. A note to those who would like to visit.

I toured the house interior last August in my Southern Belle Gown I made in honor of my ancestors Willis Elliott and his son William Elliott whom fought here during the Battle of the Hemp Bails aka Battle of Lexington as members of the Missouri State Guard, Confederate...

😐 Very long wait! If you are coming to handle property taxes, they open at 8am but you should arrive by 7:15/7:30am to get in line. You have to wait in the line and get out in queue. I arrived at 8:25am and was in line outside for just over an hour and a half. I ended up being #39 once I made it insid...

👍👍 It was a great family adventure. We've been riding in this part for quiet sometime since summer this year and it was an exciting experience. My daughter's first time to see this she is screaming and even the rest of the times we ride this part.

👍👍 Best view of Kansas City is on top of the tower.

😐 This could be a crown jewel for the KC Parks, but sadly it isn't. If the parks department would just trim the tops of some of the trees so that visitors could take in the view, I think the Colonnade would be more frequented and more utilized for events. I visited in the winter, when there were no le...
