Country Club Plaza - Shopping mall in Kansas City - 4706 Broadway Blvd, USA

Country Club Plaza is Kansas City’s most famous shopping district. On Thanksgiving the Plaza lighting ceremony kicks off the holiday shopping season. While it’s most beautiful with a bit of snow the lights and the fountains bring an almost fairytale appearance to the Plaza. This is where you will find the higher end shopping stores and interesting restaurant choices.

When you're in KC, Missouri, you should definitely check this place out. Loved walking around and seeing the old structures of some of the buildings and especially the statues.

Very prerty area with lots of shops and restaurants, seems secure but still got approached by a woman asking for cash, she had a walkie-talkie and I thought that was very odd. One guy is eating on the floor, probably homeless. Also, there are no public bathrooms. This is very strange. The stores do not let customers use the restrooms. They send you to the restaurants. But other than that, it's a very nice place.

Went for a friend's weekend, what a great area. Thankfully the Christmas lights were still on, makes for a beautiful added touch on cool architecture. Nice variety of upscale restaurants and name brand shops, with a mix of local spots to keep it authentic. Quite a few hotels within walking range, our view was pretty great even from 2 blocks away.

Went to the plaza to watch the Christmas lighting ceremony and had a great time. I'm glad to call Kansas City home...such a clean City and a massive presence of First Responders to keep everybody safe and sound!

When we checked in, front desk clerk was very friendly, he upgraded our room to a suite. The suite was very clean and cozy. Great view of all the Christmas lights on the street. Simone was our bartender in the lounge, she was funny, nice and very attentive! We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area ☺️

Lots of great shops and fun experience places to eat.

I actually grew up in Kansas City but have not lived there for many years. As a teen and in my early 20's, I spent time on The Plaza, mostly just hanging out. It is a beautiful place year round but especially in the summer and at Christmas time. It is a shopping area, not in the downtown area, like today's outdoor mall areas. It opened in 1923 so there are many older, historic buildings but is very beautiful. There is lots of shopping and dining experiences to be had. At one time, there was a movie theater but apparently the last movie theater closed in 2019. On a summer evening, it is nice to stroll around after dining at one of the many restaurants. Shopping is also one of the 'afternoon sports' of The Plaza. One very nice thing in this day and age, there is plenty of free parking, that way you can spend your money on shopping and the restaurants. It can be a nice place to take someone special. Christmas time is a big deal because of the Christmas lights. There is a lighting ceremony on Thanksgiving evening that tends to draw crowds. This has been going on for over 90 years though this year was my first time going to the actual lighting ceremony. I decided to rent some hotel rooms and invite my family to Thanksgiving dinner on The Plaza, followed by a stroll to the lighting ceremony. Even if one does not go to the lighting ceremony, it is worth it to go down to see the lights some time between Thanksgiving night and the first week of January. There are several hotels on and around The Plaza area also. It is definitely one of those places that I recommend seeing if you are ever in the Kansas City area for a few days.
