How to Get to City Center Square #

Tips for Visiting City Center Square #

  • Take the KC Streetcar - hop off near 11th & Main for the most direct access.
  • Visit on weekday mornings to see the building in civic motion: courthouse staff, delivery drivers, a city that still uses its downtown.
  • Look up: the building's façade shows wear patterns where commuters shortcut across plazas; those little scuffs are the city's fingerprints.
  • Avoid the plaza during major conventions when security and traffic reroute can make entrances confusing.
