Group Travel

Independence, Missouri makes it easy to create unforgettable group tours, with history-rich attractions and group-ready experiences around every corner. Known as the Queen City of the Trails for its role in westward expansion, Independence served as the primary jumping-off point for westward expansion along the Santa Fe, California, and Oregon Trails. Today, that legacy comes alive through immersive attractions, engaging museums, and seasonal experiences that make Independence a standout destination for group travel.

Step into history with the Pioneer Trails Adventure experience, where groups ride a horse drawn wagon to explore the triumphs and challenges faced by pioneers who began their journeys west from Independence.

History continues at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum, a world-class attraction that highlights the life and leadership of the 33rd President of the United States. Interactive exhibits, historic artifacts, and compelling narratives make this stop a favorite for groups of all sizes, and history enthusiasts. The museum offers an enriching look at both Truman’s presidency and his roots in Independence.

Seasonal charm adds another layer to group tours, especially during the holidays. The Independence Square comes alive with festive lights and decorations, resembling a picture-perfect Hallmark movie scene.
