Fall and Winter Attractions In a Quick Drive from Kansas City

Ready for a New Winter Ride? Visit Your Local Volkswagen Dealer in Lee’s Summit

Fall is officially coming to a close, and you know what that means: turkey dinners, holiday lights, and lots and lots of travel.

If you’ve paid a visit to your local Volkswagen dealer lately out here in Lee’s Summit, then you already know we have an amazing line-up of SUVs that are designed to handle any snowy Midwestern road and accommodate even the largest of families. The VW Taos, Tiguan, and Atlas are all hot-sellers right now.

So, what’s going on this holiday season? Where do you take your VW SUV once you finally get behind the wheel? We’ve got some great suggestions that you need to check out.

The Plaza Lighting Ceremony

Nov. 25th (5 p.m.) at the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City

Every year, the city comes together to celebrate the official kick-off of the holiday season at the Country Club Plaza. Typically hosted by local talent with deep roots in KC, the ceremony starts at the stroke of 5 p.m. when the switch is flipped and more than a quarter-million colored lights illuminate the Plaza for spectators to behold. If you’re wondering what that is in length, the strings of lights combine for some eighty miles of festive glow. It’s a sight that would draw the envy of Clark Griswold.

As always, the Plaza Lighting Ceremony is a free public event that anyone can attend. Try to get there early if you want a spot near the main stage, and make sure to bundle up tight. There’s plenty of parking available for your Volkswagen near the Plaza.

Louisburg Cider Mill

14730 K68 Highway, Louisburg, KS

Although Louisburg Cider Mill is a bit of a hike from Lee’s Summit (about a 45-minute drive), it’s a gorgeous, scenic route with huge pay-off at the end of the trip. Everyone loves the famous apple cider and fresh cider donuts from Louisburg Cider Mill. It’s basically a fall staple out here in the Midwest, perfect for families who enjoy great food and want to enjoy the simple pleasures of life out on the farm for an afternoon.

Louisburg Cider Mill features a 10-acre corn maze, hay wagon rides, a beehive exhibit, and their own pumpkin patch.

If you’re driving any of thenew VW SUVs such as the Taos, Tiguan, or Atlas, you should have plenty of cargo space to carry home food, drinks, and décor from the cider mill’s market.

Winter Magic – A Drive-Thru Christmas Lights Experience

8400 Blue River Rd., Kansas City, MO

Didn’t get your fill of holiday lights at the Plaza? Well, there’s plenty more where that came from.

Nominated for The Pitch’s “Best Holiday Lighting in KC,” Winter Magic is a one-mile stretch of holiday-themed lights and adventure. Hailed as the longest light tunnel in the Midwest, Winter Magic is holiday fun for the entire family. They even have something for those teens who never seem to be able to put down their phones. Before your family arrives, have them download “Jack Frost’s Winter Blast” from the App Store or Google Play for an augmented reality adventure.

Chiefs vs. Broncos

Dec. 5 (noon) Arrowhead Stadium

In the entire history of the NFL, there is perhaps no greater rivalry than the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos. Considering the current state of things in the AFC West, this is definitely going to be an important division game between these two teams. Make sure to load up your Volkswagen with plenty of food, drink, and other tailgating supplies so you can get pumped up in style along with the rest of Chiefs Kingdom. This should be a showdown for the ages.
