Raytown! The Family Friendly Place! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Raytown Missouri is a simple city. This is a homey place and not necessarily a tourist stop. The town is smaller, and offers community amenities to the local town folk. The town is small with a population of 30,000.

This is a perfect town to raise a family in and simply enjoy t ...Read More he city. There are multiple parks to enjoy as well as national museums. This city encompasses more of the learning aspect in terms of entertainment. Family fun centers are in great supply here as well.

Shopping in this town is basic and nightlife remains simple with local bars and restaurants. Being located in the Midwest, Raytown MO is culturally diverse. This is a smaller city in the state and a great location to live away from the big city. It is still within a short distance of the big city.
This is a great small town place to be where family and community is highly valued. Read Less
