The real star of Margaritaville Kansas City? The pools.
Outdoor Pool
A resort-style escape complete with hammocks, fire pits, lawn games, and a waterslide (yes, adults are totally allowed to ride). For the ultimate VIP experience, book a cabana stocked with a margarita pitcher, a fan to keep cool, and even a flat-screen TV. Also, the music that is on is perfect, and when the live DJ sets up for the afternoon, it makes the pool party complete.
Indoor Pool
The weather won’t stop your girls’ trip fun. The indoor pool includes basketball hoops, a climbing wall, and the NinjaCross™ obstacle course if you’re feeling adventurous.
Pro tip: Not staying overnight? Day passes and poolside rentals are available. Perfect for a girls’ day out in Kansas City.
Good food and drinks are essential for any mom’s getaway, and Margaritaville delivers. When we made our visit, every single bite was delicious. We didn’t have a bad item on the menu. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and tasted amazing!
LandShark Bar & Grill
Think fish tacos, burgers, crab cakes (to die for!), and tropical cocktails, all with live music and indoor/outdoor seating. It’s lively, casual, and the perfect place to kick off a night of fun.
5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill
Just steps from the pool, this spot serves frozen cocktails and shareable bites. Grab a drink, slip into a hammock, and let the afternoon drift away.
