About this adventure
Visit the world-famous Kansas City Public Library Central Library, celebrated for its Community Bookshelf exterior facade on 10th Street. The dedicated Children's Library on the second floor offers weekend drop-in family story hours, early literacy activity hubs, computer stations, and wooden train tables. Afterward, families can take the elevator up to the rooftop terrace to play with the oversized outdoor chess set while taking in sweeping downtown skyline views. The historic marble bank building offers full wheelchair and stroller accessibility, automatic doors, family restrooms with infant changing tables, and a private nursing alcove.
