Crown Center is a vibrant 85-acre development adjacent to downtown Kansas City, built by Hallmark Cards. It features a shopping center with unique stores, diverse dining options, and two hotels. The Hallmark Visitors Center showcases the company's history and card-making process. In winter, the outdoor ice rink becomes a popular gathering spot; in summer, it hosts concerts and festivals. Families enjoy the SEA LIFE Aquarium and LEGOLAND Discovery Center nearby. The complex also offers free events and art installations year-round.
