The Legends at Village West
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Legends at Village West is a super-regional shopping mall and lifestyle center located in the Village West development in Kansas City, Kansas. The mall has a gross leasable area of 1.2 million square feet.[1]
The shopping center is part of a more than $500 million investment, surrounded by the Kansas Speedway, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Great Wolf Lodge, Phoenix Theatres at the Legends 14, Cabela's and CommunityAmerica Ballpark. The Legends at Village West is still an ongoing project as there are still many more developments still planned. The shopping center offers more than 110 retail/restaurant outlets including Dave & Busters and a Saddle Ranch Chop House, one of only three in the United States.
The Legends at Village West includes an audio walking tour of the more than 80 Kansans who are represented visually on medallions, posters, murals and in sculpture throughout the center. The Legends honors legends of Kansas in athletics, music, exploration, science, technology, politics, art and other fields. The Legends theme is interwoven throughout the facility, offering information about Kansas’ history, heritage and environment. Each corridor and courtyard of the center is dedicated to a particular category of famous Kansans or aspect of the state and its history. Beginning February 1, 2007, a free self-guided audio tour will lead visitors through each corridor, providing information about the legends and the artistic representations in which they are depicted.[2][3]
