Ideas for Mother's Day in Kansas City

🍳 The classic brunch

Stop by Harvey's at Union Station for an open-air buffet under the Grand Hall.

The Farmhouse in the River Market is perfect for farm-to-table everything.

Café Provence in Prairie Village is a good option if mom's into French food.

🌸 Get outside

The KC Current plays the Chicago Stars FC at CPKC Stadium for their third annual Mother's Day Match. Helzberg is sponsoring a co-branded giveaway and free ear piercings on the plaza.

The Overland Park Arboretum is in full spring bloom.

Powell Gardens, east of the city, has walking trails, a butterfly meadow and an island garden.

🍵 Something fancy

J. Rieger & Co. is hosting a Mother's Day Brunch on Sunday from 10am to 1pm in the Monogram Lounge, with a chef-curated buffet and signature cocktails.

KC Wine Co. in Olathe is doing its annual Mom-osa brunch with mimosas and a full spread.

The InterContinental's rooftop is hosting a Mother's Day Tea on Sunday at noon.

🎤 Worth a laugh

If your mom wants something different this year, the Bird Comedy Theater is hosting a stand-up show called Mommy Issues on Saturday at 6pm. Read into it what you will.

The bottom line: Your mom wants more than a bath bomb and a robe. Make plans today, and don't be the one calling at 9am on Sunday to make a reservation.
