Schools
Leawood’s education system has come a long way since the first school—a one room school house you can still visit today—opened in 1877. Now you have many more choices in the Shawnee Mission and Blue Valley school districts.
Dining
From ritzy restaurants to farm-to-table favorites, Leawood has a wide range of eateries to please your palate.
When a craving for Thai hits, you'll delight in the bold fresh flavors at Bamboo Penny's. Other favorites include Plate Italiano Moderno and RA Sushi.
If you’re in the mood for something a little more fancy, the upscale dining options in Leawood are not few and far between. Bristol Seafood Grill and 801 Chophouse are both designed for you to get your fresh fish or steak fix (respectively). Or try Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que (formerly Oklahoma Joe’s)—an award-winning Kansas City classic that has mouth-watering barbecue. (The original restaurant is located in a gas station in Kansas City at 47th and Mission.)
Enjoy a more intimate setting at one of the many farm-to-table restaurants at Mission Farms (103rd and Mission Road). Here you can find many KC originals like Rye (think: scotch salmon and griddle-seared hanger steak), Room 39 (goat cheese gnocchi and honey del duck breast) and Tavern (pan-seared sea scallops and filet mignon). When it comes to authentic Chinese cuisine, the super cool Blue Koi dumpling and noodles restaurant doesn’t disappoint either.
Shopping
With more than 80 shiny stores and restaurants, Town Center Plaza and Town Center Crossing (119 & Roe) are the places to survey what’s new at Anthropologie, Sundance, Brooks Brothers, Madewell, and more fashionable shops.
The boys always have the option to sneak away for a manscaping retreat at The Gents Place. Haircuts and beard trims are just the beginning at this luxury joint. Man-cave activities, such as football-watching and pool-playing, are also available and even encouraged (gasp!).
Entertainment
Escape reality and go on an adventure with your favorite movie star at AMC Town Center 20 Movie Theatre in Leawood. This swanky cinema puts you right in the middle of the action, especially if you spring for an IMAX 3D film.
If you are in the mood for something more old school, check out the Glenwood Arts Theatre. Yes, technically, it has an Overland Park address but being since it's so close (95th & Mission Road) we're including it here. And whether you choose a mainstream movie or an indie flick, you’re guaranteed a cozier movie-watching experience.
Perhaps you prefer to see the actors in person? In that case head to the outdoor amphitheatre in Ironwoods Park. Here you can always catch the Leawood Stage Company performing a classic play.
Parks and Recreation
Unleash your outdoorsy side at the 66-acre Leawood City Park. With eleven soccer fields, six lighted tennis courts, three basketball goals, two baseball fields, two sand volleyball courts and one all-inclusive new playground. If you're looking for a pawsitively fun adventure, LEAWOOF Dog Park is the ideal spot! Located at the east end of the park and over the bridge - here your pup can enjoy an off-leash excursion with other furry friends.
During the summer, swim on over to the Leawood Aquatic Center located right in the middle of the park. You can also plan on the park providing Fourth of July celebrations, summer camp programs, soccer camps, fall festivals and more.
Hear that? It’s Summer Sounds in the Park—a free concert series located in Park Place. This concert square doubles as an ice skating rink during the frostier months. And, you'll want to check out their events page for other happenings during the year, such as Movies in the Square, free workout series and more.
