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 nice place to walk on a good weather day.
The lovely architecture and attention to detail makes it a fun walk, along with fountains and statuary.
Stop in small shops and try a restaurant new to you. If you are a reader, the Barnes and Noble is big and includes a Starbucks.
The Plaza art fair, in autumn, is recommended.

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.

Today I was almost attacked and chased by a homeless woman on Central by the Forever 21 store at about 1 pm. I had to run away and she chased me trying to hit me. I was asked for money from protesters and I didn’t have any and they became angry screaming at me. I was told it was a safe area and this was an awful experience. Im completely shaken and sad.

We have t been to the Plaza for many years and probably won’t return. It’s turned into a playground for teenagers with large packs of teenage kids walking around and crowding the sidewalks. We were shocked how few middle aged and older couples were walking around on a beautiful Spring evening on the Plaza. It seems to have been taken over by kids now.

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.

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.

The Christmas Plaza lights are amazing! Friendly people and great stores! I rec. the Raphael hotel for a cocktail as well. The stores are varied so everyone can find something they love. There is a map to assist you with finding that great place on your list:)

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.

Hi, W H. What would you like to know about this attraction?
Never been to Kansas City. Will have one day to see the place. Recommendations?
Written July 13, 2018
There are so many amazing places in Kansas City. Depending on age, interests, actual amount of time you can spend "touring". Top historic, cultural, whimsical.....
1. World War I Museum is amazing. So much to see & take in that each ticket is for TWO days.
2. Union Station has some excellent exhibits that change.
3. Nelson-Atkins Museum is beyond description, and impossible to see in only 1 day.
4. Arabia Steamboat Museum at the K.C. City Market gives you a glimpse into Civil War time period. After viewing that, the Market itself is a great mix of blended cultures, scents, tastes.
5. Brookside area, just a short drive from Country Club Plaza (about 4 miles) offers an eclectic blend of shops, restaurants, parks.
6. Country Club Plaza is, if you only have 1 day, where I would spend it. The shops, amazing restaurants, nightly entertainment, outdoor areas, magnificent fountains that are tinted with red water Friday evenings when the Chiefs have home games. Just to sit at a corner bistro, sip wine, listen to the street musicians & people watch after a day of exploring. HEAVEN!
