The Legends at Village West in Kansas City, Kansas is a modern shopping center that has been successful at merging retail stores with food and entertainment in a way that is likely to appeal even to those who don't care for shopping or malls.

The Kansas Legends theme has been carried though out the Legends shopping center with statues, paintings & plaques dedicated to over 80 Kansas sports figures, entrepreneurs, explorers, artists, scientists, writers, poets, and politicians. A free self guided audio tour leads visitors through each corridor, providing information about the featured Kansas legends and the artistic representations in which they are depicted.

At Christmas time, the Legends has a 45' holiday tree with a synchronized light and music program.
