Excelsior Springs could be thought of as one of the best kept secrets in the greater Kansas City area. Situated just thirty minutes away from the bustling city’s downtown district, Excelsior Springs is located within a picturesque valley reminiscent more of the Ozarks rather than a big city. The unique history of the town is well preserved in the Excelsior Springs Museum and the history Elms Resort, dating back more than 100 years, is history itself. Visitors will also stumble upon one-of-a-kind shops, such as the American Artifact Company, and delicious food at places like Wabash BBQ and Blues Garden.
