When you land
Things to do in Kansas City
Kansas City straddles the Missouri–Kansas state line, and its economy reaches across both sides: Hallmark, H&R Block and engineering firms such as Burns & McDonnell and Black & Veatch are based here, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City oversees a district that stretches to the Rockies, and the region is a center for animal health, logistics and data centers.
