Visiting Kansas City, Branson, Springfield & Western Missouri

Kansas City, Missouri's largest city, is where the Missouri and Kansas River join and curve to bisect the state. Officially Kansas City is nicknamed the City of Fountains, however, it is also known as Paris of the Plains because of its many boulevards. Springfield and Independence, two more of the top four largest cities in Missouri, are also in Western Missouri. Popular Branson with over 40 theaters with shows and productions, is located in Southwest Missouri. Branson, with the largest privately owned airport in the US, has becomes a major tourist attraction. Dynamic and diverse, Western Missouri is full of sites and attractions for visitors.

Lake of the Ozarks, between Springfield and Columbia, hosts the 2010 Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest September 16th through the 19th. The fourth annual Bikefest, promises to be better than ever. Motor up for some amazing scenery, outstanding entertainment, and fun with family and friends. With three Best Western Hotels within a half an hours ride, there is no need for camping. Enjoy comfortable accommodations at the Best Western Montis Inn in Saint Robert, the Best Western Wyota Inn in Lebanon, or the Best Western Capital Inn in Jefferson City, the state capital.

Die hard football fans, specifically Kansas City Chiefs fans, can visit St. Joseph, the Chiefs summer home. The Chiefs 2010 summer training camp runs from the end of July through August 19th. Take in a daily practice and then enjoy a visit to one of the 13 historical museums in St. Joseph. The Best Western Classic Inn in St. Joseph is a convenient location with easy access to Missouri Western State University and all St. Joseph's attractions.

Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City is home field for the Chiefs. Game one of the regular season is September 13th against the Chargers. There is nothing better in fall than the excitement of a NFL game. You can see the Chiefs in action through January 2011. The Best Western Seville Plaza Hotel is an easy drive from the stadium and has ideal accommodations for an overnight stay in Kansas City. Come downtown, enjoy a chiefs game and have a comfortable nights sleep before heading home.

Visitors to Independence can still enjoy a visit to the soda fountain where President Harry S. Truman worked his first job. Historic Independence is a festive place to visit during the holidays. With historic estates and mansions decorated and open to visitors, it is like stepping back in time. Starting at the end of November through the New Year, Independence is a great place to gather with family and friends to enjoy a holiday getaway. Tour the Bingham-Waggoner Estate, Vaile Mansion and the Marshal's Home and Museum. The Truman home is also open with special holiday exhibits and at the 1827 log courthouse you can get a glimpse of the holidays in a simpler time. The Best Western Truman Inn is centrally located for all the sites in Independence. With affordable rates and top-notch amenities, a stay at the Truman Inn is a delightful holiday splurge.
