Has a big Ferris wheel. But if a bad location imho for one, some good views but 50% faces the Highway and IRS center

Re: Penway Point - KC
i'm not a fan of it being tucked into a space between elevated roads, but from that vantage point, you'd have some great views of downtown

Re: Penway Point - KC
Does KC need another downtown area entertainment center? They already have the Power & Light and adjoining Crossroads Art District, plus the nearby River Market. The Freighthouse/Crown Center is walking distance away, Plus the area surrounding the American Jazz Museum.

I've driven by the Ferris wheel a few times. It looks pretty good.

More information. Ferris Wheel opens next month. An outdoor ice rink is now included. This whole project looks to be a great addition to downtown KC.
