Stop for homemade ice cream at Ted & Wally's. The flavors change often, and vegan options are available. It is open until 22:00 on weekdays, so you have plenty of time.
16:39
Walk eight minutes north to Lewis & Clark Landing. This 23-acre park sits along the eight-foot river wall and offers a wide, open view of the water. It is a quiet spot to settle in before the crowd arrives.
17:09
Move to The RiverFront. This urban park stretches along the Missouri River and is the best vantage point for the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, so you will have a clear view of the light fading over the water.
17:49
End at Heartland of America Park. The fountain puts on a colorful nighttime show once the sun goes down. It is a short walk from your viewing spot, and the park stays open until 23:00.
