Country Club Plaza: A Kansas City Landmark
History:
Designed as the nation’s first suburban shopping district built for cars, the Plaza was the vision of developer J.C. Nichols. Inspired by the architecture of Spanish marketplaces, Nichols began transforming swampy land in 1907. By 1922, the first Plaza buildings opened—earning the area the nickname “Nichols’ Folly.” Today, the Plaza is renowned for its Moorish-style architecture, cobblestone streets, and more than $1 million in public artwork, including fountains, murals, and over 30 statues.

Home to 30+ restaurants and 17 outdoor patios, the Plaza offers something for every craving and budget. Whether you’re after Kansas City staples or trendy new eateries, you're covered.
