As we welcome the New Year we also welcome a sense of curiosity to see and try new things. Kansas City, KS is a place that’s full of opportunity to do just this. Here are four unique experiences you can have this winter in Kansas City, KS.
Bring out your inner child at Moon Marble
Have you ever looked at a cat’s eye marble and wondered how it came to be? Marbles are truly magical in the way such 
detailed designs and beautiful colors all fit into a tiny, perfectly round sphere. The procedure used to make marbles is pretty magical as well. Each year Moon Marble Co. in Bonner Springs, KS attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world to see the colorful shop’s countless handmade marbles and glass trinkets, and old timey games and toys. Each week demonstrations of the marble making process give visitors a look at what goes into creating these tiny works of art. Little ones and adults alike will ooh and ahh over this event, which is also free of charge!
Take a taste of the Downtown Taquerias
In the land of barbecue, it’s hard to think about saving room for any other type of cuisine. But before you fill up on burnt ends and brisket, take a trip downtown Kansas City, KS to experience a whole new culinary adventure. El Camino Real is a lunchtime favorite for locals. Your senses will be tantalized with the sight of the yellow corn tortillas being hand-cranked right in front of you, and the scent of the sweet al pastor (thin shavings of spit-
roasted pork) rotating in the window. El Bonito Michoacan is another must-stop spot if you want to get a true taste of what makes Kansas City, KS so different from anywhere else in the Midwest. Choose from mouth-watering lengua, tripa, chicharron and all of your other favorite ethnic street taco meats. Add some color to your plate with fresh cilantro, salsa verde, pickled onions and more.
