I first came to Kansas City, KS on a day trip. The lovely Midwestern town hosts many important sporting events which you should plan ahead for. Kansas City International Airport (MCI) is about 20–25 minutes away if you are flying in.
I like to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge Kansas City if I'm traveling with my kid because of the indoor water park. My other favorites are Homewood Suites by Hilton at The Legends and Hilton Garden Inn Kansas City/Kansas.
