Editor's Letter Spring-Summer 2015

I have a confession. I have been a diehard fan of my hometown my whole life. Everyone who knows me knows that I love Kansas City—with a passion! I love living here. I love raising my kids here. I love the museums, the history, the galleries, the parks, the theater, the Country Club Plaza… Sometimes I even think I have barbecue sauce coursing through my veins. Okay, that may be a stretch, but you get the idea.

This summer, I can’t wait to take my children to see Mary Poppins at Starlight. We’re planning another overnight with the penguins at the Kansas City Zoo—this time we’ve invited cousins! And it wouldn’t be summer without Celebration at the Station and the Powell Gardens Festival of Butterflies.

As Kansas City is changing and improving with the times, so is KC Going Places, a product of the KC Parent Magazine family. This year, we upgraded our website at www.KCParent.com. You’ll enjoy digital guides to the 500+ attractions Kansas City has to offer and a robust Kansas City calendar of events, along with editorial sharing our favorite tips and tricks to enjoy the best our city has to offer.

Exploring and enjoying all the city has to offer is exactly what KC Going Places is all about. Whether you’ve lived in Kansas City your entire life or you’re a new visitor, you’ll find something wonderful to discover in KC this year!
