KC In the News

Kansas City is gaining national attention for its multitude of new projects, championship sports teams, and downtown investment, says Nathan Hermiston, senior vice president of sales and services for Visit KC.

Kansas City's new status as a celebrity magnet is undeniable. It hosted the 2023 NFL Draft, opened the first stadium purpose-built for a women's sports team and is home to the Super Bowl champions.

A good cocktail or glass of wine goes a long way, but good company and even better views can take the evening to a new level entirely. These 13 hotels have some of the best outlooks in the country.

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole, a brand-new, decade-in-the-making museum of children’s literature founded by the only people with the stamina for such a feat: former bookstore owners.

Three of Kansas City's newest establishments -- the Sobela Ocean Aquarium, Vine Street Brewing Co. and Wild Child -- have been featured in Midwest Living's "Best of the Midwest" travel awards.

Kansas City is "set to become a major tourist destination this year as it has everything to offer from mouthwatering food, heart-stopping sports, and a famous power couple. But the city, known as the "Heart of America," houses hidden gems to make for a thrilling vacation destination."

"Kansas City is having a bit of a moment -- and not just for its sudden pop-culture prominence."

"No doubt, soccer reigns supreme: In March, the Kansas City Current will unveil the first stadium built for a National Women’s Soccer League team, and Kansas City holds bragging rights as the sole Midwestern host for the FIFA World Cup 2026. But other headliners abound, with new lures for budding bookworms and adventurers."

"World famous for barbecue and jazz, KC is now staking a claim as a global leader in sports and entertainment — and not just because of Taylor and Travis."

“If you want a taste for the best Kansas City has to offer, spend the day exploring the 18th and Vine District. You also shouldn’t leave without stopping by The Negro League Baseball Museum or The American Jazz Museum. Other noteworthy stops are Arthur Bryant’s Barbeque and Vine Street Brewing Co, the state’s first Black-owned brewery.
