Open Sunday through Saturday 10:00AM - 4:00PM; Closed on Tuesdays


Originally opened in 1982 as The Toy and Miniature Museum of Kansas City, the establishment continued to expand in square feet, collection size and popularity until it relaunched in 2015 with the world's largest fine-scale collection of miniatures, one of the nation's largest collections of antique toys, and a new name - The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures. You don't have to be a fan of doll-sized furnishing or tiny knick knacks to enjoy a visit here; the museum offers an expertly curated look through the history and culture of play, and how objects have changed to suit the times.

With a very famous barbeque style and an annual Jazz and Heritage Festival, Kansas City doesn't even need to try very hard to impress. However, this city in America's Heartland is filled with much more than just smoked ribs and excellent music halls. Locals tell us to "expect the unexpected" if you're planning on a trip to Kansas City. Read on for our selections of the Best Unique Things To Do in Kansas City.
