Things to do in Kansas City

Head to 18th and Vine Street!

This street is home to a few Jazz bars, the Jazz Museum, and the Negro League Baseball Museum.

We checked out the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, and it was definitely worth our time. Small, yet packed full of interesting information, the museum offered an indepth tribute to a part of baseball's history that is often overlooked and neglected but served an important role in the making of modern day professional baseball. Example: Did you know that the very first night game ever was played in the Negro Leagues?!

And the price is great too! $8.00 for admission into one of the museums, but $10.00 gets you into both!

  1. Glad to hear you had fun! The Baseball Museum is always a good time, as is the Jazz Museum. As a native, I hope you got some BBQ too on your trip.
