3. Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City has numerous attractions that will really keep you hooked such as the National World War I Museum, the American Jazz Museum, the Kauffman Stadium, or the Schlitterbahn Waterpark (we’ve only named a few… because there’s more to Kansas City than meets the eye).
However, just make sure you’re not traveling in mid-summer—it gets really hot and extremely crowded. Also, don’t forget about the barbecue experience. One of the best spots is Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que. Plus, Kansas City is great for large families and really affordable. So, it’s definitely time to think about Missouri’s largest city as your next vacation spot.

You have selected good choices. I have spent time in all places except Phoenix.
Be careful—some of these places have COVID spikes!
Good list! My wife and I have been to each of these cities and concur that they are great places to visit on a budget.
Have you considered St. Louis, Missouri as one of the best places to travel on a budget?
Forest Park has one of the best zoos in the country and it’s free, the Jewel Box is also free, there are free animal shows at the zoo. The St. Louis Arch is a great place and there are river boat rides down the Mississippi River just to name a few attractions. Sports fans will enjoy the St. Louis Cardinals baseball and football teams. Anheuser Bush Brewery gives tours. Many more attractions too numerous to name.
Listing in each top 10 things to do places each cost would have help me decide on where I want to go and what I want to do (Hotels, 5 star restaurants flavors of the city, comic clube, site seeing like tours on the river in San Antonio , theaters with upcoming shows like on Broadway or off Broadway, best tourist places to visit, ect.). Also each could be a revenue stream to subsidize your publication.
