Enjoy the serenity at the Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden
The Kauffman Memorial Garden is as serene as it comes, with ponds, fountains, blooming flowers, and plenty of gardens to stroll through — yet still, it remains a hidden gem (not for much longer, just imagine). Maintained beautifully and especially magnificent in the fall, this downtown slice of greenery is sure to have you leave feeling refreshed and calm.
This public space is located in the Powell Botanical Gardens and is dedicated to Ewing and Muriel Kauffman. It is open all year so that visitors can enjoy all four seasons and the distinct differences they bring. The Kauffmans were the quintessential city philanthropists; in addition to this tranquil oasis, Ewing founded the hometown Kansas City Royals and established his eponymous foundation, which provides charitable contributions to education and the arts to underprivileged youth.
Though the garden is small, it is a good spot to see some of the flora and fauna found on the larger Powell Gardens property. Visiting the Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Gardens is considered to be one of the best things to do in Kansas.
