Loose Park Walking Tour
Loose Park Walking Tour at Jacob Loose Park
Explore one of Kansas City's most interesting green spaces on this guided walking tour. You'll discover the park's fascinating past, including its role during the 1864 Battle of Westport when Union and Confederate forces fought across what is now peaceful grounds. The tour also traces how the land evolved from a private country club into a public park dedicated to a biscuit magnate, covering everything from contemporary art installations and historical monuments to quirky details like the resident ducks.
Tickets cost $15 per person, and tours run through early October. Wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking and standing throughout the experience. The tours proceed in light rain but will be rescheduled if weather turns severe. For tickets and more information, contact the Wornall/Majors House Museums directly.
