City of Fountains Bus Tours
A Better Way to See Kansas City
This guided 2-hour tour takes you to some of Kansas City’s most recognizable fountains and other well-known destinations across the city.
Spanish and French translation is available for guests visiting Kansas City for the World Cup, and tickets are $75 per rider.
Notable Fountains on the Tour
Discover some of Kansas City’s most recognized fountains along the route.
Mill Creek Park Fountain
The best known and most photographed of Kansas City’s fountains, Mill Creek Park Fountain has become one of the city’s most familiar images. Its monumental figures and long history make it a defining symbol of the City of Fountains.
Eagle Scout Tribute Fountain
This fountain is built around a monumental marble sculpture that once stood at New York’s Pennsylvania Railroad Station. Its eagle emblem and formal setting make it one of the more distinctive memorial fountains on the tour.
Firefighters Memorial Fountain
Created in response to the 1988 explosion that claimed six firefighters, this fountain serves as a lasting tribute to Kansas City firefighters and those lost in the line of duty. Its bronze figures and memorial setting make it one of the tour’s most moving stops.
Rose Garden Fountain
Located in Loose Park’s rose garden, this fountain continues a long tradition of water features in the space dating back to the 1930s. Its setting gives it a quieter character and makes it one of the tour’s most picturesque stops.
Note: Destinations may vary slightly due to route conditions and scheduling.
