What To Expect

Folly Theater

This is the Folly Theater, another of Kansas City’s historic theaters. But unlike the Newman and Gayety, this one is still standing! NOTE: This 1.7-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Kansas City in 1-1.5 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

Barney Allis Plaza

When Allis took over the Gayety to expand his hotel, Kansas City lost one of its premier jazz clubs. And jazz was very important to the residents of Kansas City!

Folly Theater

In the early 1900s, Kansas City residents could take a stroll down 12th Street and visit all three theaters! They could catch a movie at the Newman, see a jazz show at the Gayety, and enjoy a dramatic production at the Folly. You might recognize some of the actors and performers who graced the stage at the Folly: Shirley Booth, Humphrey Bogart, and even the Marx Brothers!

Ilus W. Davis Park

Mayor Davis first won election in 1963, in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement. One of Davis’ most significant challenges came on April 9th, 1968. Just five days earlier, Martin Luther King Jr. had been murdered in Memphis, Tennessee.

Interesting tour, lots of history but not much about present day. Difficult to access, navigate and return to. Liked that I could access it later for more depth.
