What makes it fun
Country Club Plaza was planned as the country's first suburban shopping zone in 1922. Since then, its open-air public art gallery has steadily expanded its collection with fountains, sculptures, and murals that combine the finest of the Old and New Worlds. As the century-old neighborhood continues to reign as Kansas City's leading shopping and dining destination, art and architectural features are scrupulously maintained and restored. Spend the day on the Country Club Plaza, where you can enjoy the free outdoor art show as well as the many stores and restaurants.
