Recognized the world over for its outdoor, public musuem quality filled with architechture from Spain, European sculptues and distinctly Kansas City fountains, the Country Club Plaza is one of the most popilar destinations for locals and visitors to visit throughout the year. Designed in 1922 as the nation’s first urban shopping center, today The Plaza is like taking a mini trip to a fine European city. Sir Winston and Sara Churchill greet you on the south side of Brush Creek, while replicas of Seville, Spain’s most notable buildings provide a backdrop for the sculptures of Italy’s Donatello Gabrielli. Come the fourth weekend of September take in the renowned Plaza Art Fair or visit on Thanksgiving eve when the Plaza buildings are a wash in Christmas lights when the switch is turned on! The Plaza is central to all things Kansas City. Check out www.countryclubplaza.com 816-753-0100
