I loved Kansas City... I hope to go back one day

[@thebuck2708]

Worlds of fun amusement park it's like six flags, and right across the street is oceans of fun giant water park, and Arrowhead stadium to watch the loudest outdoor stadium Home of the KC Chiefs, and in the Guinness book world records for a recorded 142.2 crowd decibel level. Or Kauffman stadium home of the KC Royals with gorgeous fountains right over the outfield wall, these 2 stadiums are in the same parking lot.

[@mayavenuemisfit814]

Kansas City really does look like a nice city. I'd love to visit sometime and eat some of the amazing barbecue I've heard about. Of course I'll leave my Bengals gear at home when I visit, though. 😂

[@suzettebecker3581]

I loved it there and hope to move back someday, the cleanest city around too😊

[@OnViewCation]

We're happy to know that you love Kansas. What is your favorite spot?

[@dougk5185]

Talks about the Chiefs mural on the side of Tom's Town. Show's the Chiefs mural on the side of Westport Ale House 3 miles away. C'mon!

[@roswellnewmex]

Did you miss any spots??? Yeah, the Nelson Atkin's museum! It's free and has an immense collection of ancient all the way to contemporary art, I can't believe it wasn't mentioned

[@OnViewCation]

Thanks for the info! Which other city/location would you like us to cover next?

[@interstateruler]

Planning on making a trip this Spring to see my cousin

[@OnViewCation]

We wish you all the best this spring! Please let us know how it goes.

[@interstateruler]

@@OnViewCation I will

[@clc18mac]

Did you miss anything? Where to start? You commented on the fountain at the Nelson-Adkin Museum of Art but didn’t really talk about what an amazing museum it is. The museum houses works of art from all the masters, an amazing Egyptian wing as well as an Asian Culture wing. Sports fans can attend a MLB game with The Kansas City Royals and NFL with The Kansas City Chiefs. The Kauffman Center of performing arts houses the Kansas City Symphony as well as touring concerts. And let’s not forget about the BBQ. And for a family day you could check out Worlds of Fun with its roller coasters or spend the day splashing next door at Oceans of Fun.

Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Viewcation?

[@floralscene]

Thank you. I'm trying to find the location of the Ginsburg mural. 43rd St. and is it Westport Road? I can't find that road on the map.

[@kevinpennington6675]

First, locate State Line Road on a map. It's actually the state line between Kansas and Missouri. On the Kansas side look for 43rd Avenue. On the Missouri side, the same road is Westport Road. If you follow that road to the east a few blocks, Westport road will veer off to the left with 43rd street continueing on stright. Right at that junction, there is a small white building on the right side (south side) of the road and that is where the Mural is located. It's not a very big mural. Hope that helps!

[@hypermoose5794]

It’s over on that one road by the other road. Across from that one building.

[@jamesklatt]

Worlds of fun and KC Zoo

[@randy7928]

Yeah, you missed the secret landfill they're plotting to build right next to some Trumper subdivisions down south near Raymore ;)

[@jojo1990ish]

U mentioned the Chiefs Kingdom Memorial being on Tom's Town Distilling, that's not true its in the Westport District located on the left side of the bar called Ale House. This is no where near 17th street its off Broadway and 43rd street

Johnson county Kansas already has a larger economy than all of Jackson county Missouri.

[@hankschrader7050]

Plus Johnson County's high IQ population produces all of the developers and companies that create and build everything thats notable inside of KCMO. A JOCO man (J.C. Nichols) designed and built the entire Country Club Plaza for Johnson Countys rich residents, he only decided to build it on the other side of state line. He's also responsible for the WW1 memorial and Union Station. And JOCO's companies like Sprint and AMC theaters for example are responsible for the Sprint Center and other downtown real estate. Not to mention JOCO people buy the majority of the entire metro's tickets at KCI and at sporting events. Its hilarious when Missouri people try to act like the city belongs to them. If it werent for JOCO, Kansas City would just be a dirty city full of slow people and nothing to look at.

[@iknowdeweybrudda6564]

@@hankschrader7050 exactly the metro area would be broke without Johnson county

[@hankschrader7050]

@@iknowdeweybrudda6564 I want Kansas to go back to planning a JOCO international airport. Even with the new KCI, theres no question that a bigger and better JOCO airport would immediately become more successful. If they built it on the land along highway 10 between Olathe and Desoto then Metro visitors would have a way better first impression coming into the city.

[@sf9873]

The airport is fine where it’s at. The northland is one of the nicer parts of the metro. No need to hold the typical attitude of the area that says it’s somehow okay to completely abandon one area just to over-develop more cow pastures and cornfields. Gloat all you want, but the city is great because of the input from both sides of the state line. To outsiders, it’s all the same anyway. Great video. I love that city. Makes me homesick… until I read the childish comments.

The best thing to do in Kansas, is the pack all your stuff and move as quickly as possible to replace it actually has some attractions, culture, decent restaurants and shopping, better economy and higher paying jobs.

[@MrHoll87]

This video is talking about Kansas CITY, not Kansas, and the city DOES have plenty of attractions, culture, restaurants, shopping and high paying jobs.
