Most Westerners can get a visa on arrival - you'll need to change some money first I think it was 5 KWD. A driver can be hired to take you out to the Martyr's House where Iraqis killed several young Kuwaiti men in the early hours of the invasion. The place has been turned into a museum and is excellent and rather moving.
The Kuwait towers are worth a visit too.
There is also the largest wooden ship in the world... all within an easy drive.
