Activity itinerary

1005 Broadway Blvd

  • 20m
Guests will begin at the historic Coates House Hotel, one of city centre Kansas City’s most striking reminders of the city’s rise from rough river town to major Midwest destination. Once a grand hotel that welcomed prominent travellers and reflected Kansas City’s growing ambition, the building later became the site of one of the city’s deadliest fires. Here, travellers will hear the legend of the Ghost Bride, look towards the upper windows where figures are still said to appear, and learn why this landmark remains one of Kansas City’s most haunting historic sites.

800 Jefferson St

  • 20m
Travellers will walk through Quality Hill, a quiet historic area that once represented wealth, status, and influence in early Kansas City. This was where bankers, railway executives, merchants, attorneys, and political figures built their homes overlooking the growing city below. But behind the polished image of grand houses and social power were the workers, servants, and ordinary people whose names history often left behind. At this stop, guests will hear the ghost stories tied to Quality Hill’s old homes, including footsteps, vanishing figures, and the feeling that some residents of the past may still be making their rounds.

Folly Theater

  • 20m
Guests will stop outside the Folly Theatre, one of Kansas City’s great surviving entertainment landmarks. Opened in 1900, the theatre has seen more than a century of performers, audiences, applause, decline, restoration, and local legend. The Folly’s haunted reputation centers on longtime theatre manager Joe Donegan, who is said to still keep watch over the building he loved. Travellers will hear tales of phantom footsteps, unexplained applause, shadowy movement, and the strange feeling that the show may not be over when the living audience leaves.

Hotel Phillips Kansas City, Curio Collection by Hilton

  • 20m
Travellers will see the Hotel Phillips, a city centre Kansas City landmark that opened in 1931 during the city’s era of jazz, nightlife, politics, and modern luxury. Built to impress travellers with style and sophistication, the hotel has hosted generations of guests passing through the heart of the city. Historic hotels often carry thousands of untold stories, and the Phillips is no exception. At this stop, guests will hear reports of empty-hallway footsteps, unexplained voices, shadowy figures, and the chilling sensation of waking in a room that may not feel entirely empty.
