Safe place, but beware. On a family trip while traveling through Kansas we decided to stop at Atlas 9 an interactive sci-fi/mystery activity center. It is set in a 90s styled movie theater where a projector made the movies come to life and the creator of the projector mysteriously disappeared. You’re part of an agency who is sent to check on anomalies and figure out what occured at the site. Atlas 9 was a pretty cool experience with lots of activities for adults and children alike. I will mention one things that stood out to us was encountering a Neo-Nazi guy with all the tattoos and even a red beret on working there. He was definitely trying to stay in his nazi orgazational garb while at work to let it be known. I understand folks have to work, but just understand the territory you’re entering. Maybe it is not out of the norm in Kansas City, Kansas but it was pretty interesting to encounter one of them in a place for children. It is like going to Chuck E Cheese and the employees are a part of a racist organization while overseeing black children playing around. It is not a good look, the guy wasn’t disrespectful but he definitely stood out.
Decided to take our family trip this year to Kansas City. My family moved there a couple of months ago. Definitely a different experience from Memphis. It was very peaceful. Really enjoyed the scenery. I am one who frequents thrift stores and found some really great ones. I am just going to be honest here…..no gunshots was a different experience for me. People enjoying themselves and laughing. It was a wake up call that every city is not the same. And yes, I think marijuana is legal. Dude was literally smoking on the way into the thrift store. It threw me for a loop. Just something I’m not used to but whatever. Family had a great time. Airbnb was hunted but other than that, we came out unscathed. Definitely would recommend a couple of night stays.
Must have the brunch at Urban Restaurant on Troost. Good food, music and vibes.
There’s a strong Black entrepreneurship scene here, check out Black Owned KC website and KC Porterhouse Retail Incubator for businesses to explore.
If you are going to stop in kansas city please make Distrikt Biscuits one of your reasons to get a bite in the city. Their chicken is fantastic, they have great service, BLACK OWNED, THE BISCUITS WERE THE BEST THING SINCE YA GRANDMA PUT HER FOOT IN IT. These guys made me feel at home and served some amazing eats.
Kansas City was never on my bucket list but I certainly had a time! We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott downtown and while it did seem like big city living, it still felt hometown. The reason for the trip was to visit the National Negro Leagues Museum. 10 of 10 experience. Who knew learning history on vacation would be that entertaining. The College Basketball Experience is a must see! There are so many interactive games in there you could stay all day. Burnt ends at Arthur Bryant’s BBQ were fantastic and so was the Red Chile Turtle Posole at Lula Southern Cookhouse. Nightlife was relaxed but super fun. We definitely felt comfortable walking around downtown as a Black family.
Kansas City wasn’t one of the places I had on my bucket list. But I was surprised by how developer and beautiful the city is. The chiefs are a big deal out there as expected and if
You stay downtown you will see a lot of
Billboards. I recommend visiting any bbq spots while there joes Kansas is a gas station and
Place to get ribs! Also If you’re up for the drive it’s about 45 minutes to KU home of the Jayhawks! There is definitely culture there and it felt safe as a black person

Kansas City is a wonderful, affordable place to visit! Check it out for the museums, BBQ, and Ruby Jean’s Juicery a black owned juice spot with a fantastic back story- I was only in town for 4 days and went out of my way to support the visit and enjoy their delectable food every day! From the avocado toast to the blackened salmon salad everything I enjoyed there was SUPERB. Can’t wait to return
