Merriam Market Place in Merriam KS

Merriam might be one of the most conveniently located towns in the Kansas City metro area. Nestled right in between Kansas City, Overland Park, Shawnee, and Lenexa, Merriam has quick and ready access to all the amenities of a big city, while maintaining that unmistakable feeling of a small town. In fact, Merriam was named in Livability’s “Top 100 Small Towns”.

But don’t think that you have to leave city limits to have a good time. Despite being a small town of just over 11,000 people, Merriam has plenty to offer. There are a number of family oriented attractions and activities to visit, like the Merriam Aquatic Center, Werner Park, Waterfall Park, or the Time Murphy Art Gallery.
