Great place to hang out with family and friends and enjoy good German food and beer. Outdoor seating is very nice, clean and its pet friendly! Grab a beer and pretzel!

Best ice cream in Kansas City! Variety of delicious flavors for everyone- John's favorite is goat cheese and apricot, Jami's is Smore's. Kid friendly- with chalk boards and viewing window of the backstage making of ice cream. Staff is super friendly.

One of the best art collections in the country. We especially love the Asian and modern Art exhibits. The front yard is a fun place to hang out and look at the shuttle cocks and play some badminton ;)
