About Country Club Plaza

Opened in 1923 as the nation's first shopping district designed for the automobile, the Country Club Plaza is Kansas City's Spanish-flavored living room. Fifteen blocks of Seville-inspired towers, tiled courtyards, and more fountains than you can count frame national retailers, local boutiques, and patio restaurants. Come at dusk when the architecture lights up, stroll along Brush Creek, and return between Thanksgiving and mid-January when the famous Plaza Lights outline every dome and cornice in color.
