About
If you're looking for a shopping center with a mix of stores, dining, and entertainment, Crown Center is a solid choice. Located on the Hallmark Cards campus in downtown Kansas City, it opened in 1973 as one of the nation's first mixed-use redevelopments. You'll find Halls department store, the world's only Crayola Cafe, and a variety of restaurants including Fritz's Railroad Restaurant. There's also SEA LIFE Aquarium and LEGOLAND Discovery Center on-site, plus theaters like The Coterie and Off Center Theatre.
The shopping center has three levels of shops and is open daily, with shorter Sunday hours. It's a family-friendly destination, but queer travelers will find it welcoming and inclusive. If you're in the area, nearby Pryde's Old Westport offers a more boutique shopping experience. The Crown Center Ice Terrace operates seasonally for outdoor skating. While Yelp reviews average 3.4 stars, the mix of attractions makes it worth a visit.
