Things to do in Overland Park, no research required

Overland Park doesn’t come up much outside the Kansas City metro, and the map covers more attractions, galleries and museums than most cities its size manage. The National WWI Museum and Memorial anchors it and is the genuinely heavy stop on an otherwise casual list. Super Smash KC, where you break actual objects in a padded room, is the other end of that spectrum entirely. Blackhole Bakery closes the day out with pastries that appear on nearly every local’s list. Brunch spots and bars are mapped throughout. It works as a real stop rather than a place you drive through on the way somewhere else.
