Winter Activities in Kansas City

There’s something magical about Kansas City winters. Thick blankets of snow make the skyline picturesque and give us an opportunity to snuggle with loved ones. While Topsy’s popcorn can be enjoyed any season, it tastes extra sweet when paired with hot chocolate.

Here’s a list of holiday activities in Kansas City that are as much a part of the city’s tradition as Topsy’s Popcorn.

Ice Skating in Crown Center

Grab a cozy sweater and glide in Crown Center’s Ice Terrace. Ice skate with family on the weekend or snuggle with a date underneath the massive Kansas City Christmas tree. Make the trip extra sweet by grabbing hot chocolate from the nearby Christopher Elbow chocolate.

Shop at River Market’s Merry Market

Every year River Market transforms into a gift-hunter’s dream. Wander around and discover ceramics, treats and seasonal drinks from local vendors. Lucky visitors can say hello The Kansas City Museum’s Fairy Princess during one of her visits.
