Nap nice and fun. But $$
Couples
So fun and enjoyable waking around. I would recommend anytime of year but the lighting ceremony is something to see and experience
It’s very nice but bring $$ The plaza is fun. They keep updating it and making it better. But it is not a cheap area. Bring $$ but worth it

One of my VERY FAVORITE places!
Couples
If you're looking for it... you'll find it here!!!!
Need a paper store? Check. Looking for a place to make a cake topper that looks just like you? It's here. How about a book on Kansas history? Yep. It's here too.
And without a doubt, THE BEST restaurant in ALL of Kansas City is here. (Eddie V's is so good it will make you cry)
The architecture is so beautiful you'll definitely want to bring your camera. And it's just perfect for a romantic after dinner stroll.
If you're in the area around the holidays DO NOT MISS the Christmas lights.

Absolutely magical in December
Friends
The annual lightning of the Plaza lights is a Kansas City tradition. The lights come on on Thanksgiving night. They stay on nightly until mid January. Please Google this gorgeous site. Make it a “must see” during the holidays.

plaza lights and shopping
My plan was to visit a couple of shops and maybe stop for a snack. It was a very enjoyable stroll through the area. There are pieces of original placed in many spots throughout the Plaza. The buildings are outlined with Xmas lights until January 12. It gives the area a festive feel. I want to give a shout out to the friendly and helpful staff of every store I went into. It is a wonderful feeling to have a shop person actually chat and help you find the article you are looking for. It is almost an old fashioned thing to do. I am sure the friendliness will last after the lights are off for this year. I will definitely return there

A lovely area for wandering
Solo
The Plaza encompasses several blocks with an array of both chain and unique businesses, stores, high end restaurants and casual coffee shops. Fountains and sculptures decorate the streets. If you enjoy shopping, or window shopping, the Plaza is a lot of fun.

Not out of town friendly.

Parking is a bit challenging. No public restrooms. We were trying to kill time between games, but there is also not really anywhere to just wit and hang out. Unless you are on a mission amd know exactly what stores you want to visit, I would stay away.

This is simply one of the best shopping areas in the US. It’s about to get even better because they are going to add a Nordstrom‘s in the next year or so. If you’re visiting the Kansas City area this is a must. In December and January the Plaza Christmas lights are amazing.

Nice place for dining and shopping
We go to Country Club Plaza often for dining and shopping. This past weekend we went for a one night staycation. We had a wonderful weekend enjoying all the Plaza has to offer. We will be back, many, many times to come.

Nice shopping district
Family
We stayed close to Country Club Plaza when visiting Kansas City. We walked to it several times. They have many high end shops, but a lot were closed during our visit.

There are also several great restaurants that were open.

The architecture is pretty interesting. There are some nice fountains nearby. Don’t forget to walk along the river. There are parking ramps nearby.
