The National Frontier Trails Museum is a fascinating place to visit. There&#8217;s also a jazz museum and a museum dedicated to airplanes. You can even visit the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum. If you&#8217;re looking for something a little more low-key, head to Green Lady Lounge. The atmosphere is mellow and you can find jazz musicians playing year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Money Museum: For a taste of American history, visit the Money Museum and walk away with a souvenir bag full of shredded bills. This museum is located in the Federal Reserve Bank, and you can get free one-hour tours of the collection. A highlight is the museum&#8217;s $400,000 gold bar. The museum also offers educational tours about the evolution of money and its place in society. If you&#8217;re interested in money, you&#8217;ll find that Kansas City has multiple nicknames, including Motown, Soul City, and Big Blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of jazz, you&#8217;ll love the American Jazz Museum in the 18th and Vine complex. It teaches visitors about the history of jazz in Kansas City, and features a number of exhibits and memorabilia from famous Kansas City musicians, including Charlie Parker. The museum also offers fun interactive activities for children, and admission is free for children under four. Further, the museum&#8217;s collection contains many pieces from the Jazz Age, and even features the instruments and costumes that famous musicians played with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barbecue has become a tradition in Kansas City, with the best meats being smoked over aromatic wood. The result is a flavorful, tangy sauce that&#8217;s both sweet and spicy. Famous barbecue joints include Arthur Bryant&#8217;s Barbecue, Jack Stack Barbecue, and Char Bar. And to satiate your appetite for barbeque, visit Q39. The city&#8217;s restaurants are known for their creative approaches to spicing up traditional dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fountains have a long history in Kansas City. The city has more fountains than any other city in the world, second only to Rome. The city celebrates Fountain Day in early April, a day devoted to fountains. Kansas City&#8217;s fountain obsession dates back to the late 1800s when water-scarce residents sought shelter from the sun. Over the years, the city has added more fountains to its landscape. There are now more than 200 fountains in Kansas City, 48 of them open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures is another museum with a long history in Kansas City. This museum is a favorite of children, as kids under five are free to visit. The museum&#8217;s collection includes miniature dollhouses and figurines. There are also Saturday cartoons and marble tournaments. Whether you&#8217;re looking for a museum for adults or a family day out, you&#8217;re sure to find something to keep everyone entertained during your visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many great museums in Kansas City.
