Besides the marvellous architecture and beautiful scenic view you get at this monument, to me this place is filled with emotions. The place reminds me of all the beautiful souls whose courage and sacrifice helped bring peace and stability that we are enjoying today. Each picture or artefact in this museum is filled with so much history, story, and emotion that I cannot describe; you have to visit this place to experience it. Also, don't forget to cherish the beautiful Poppy flower bed at the main entrance block and try to find out what it represents. In short, this place is where you can enjoy these magnificent monuments, get one of the best views of Kansas City, take beautiful pictures, learn and experience history, and pay respect to the brave and beautiful souls.

Impressive collection of artifacts from WW1 and massive amounts of information! The volunteers were very friendly and informative. This museum is very well done. From an artistic standpoint it has a unique design with Egyptian Revival and Art Deco elements. On a clear day, there are beautiful views from the top of the tower. There is so much to see it is hard to do it in just one day.

What a cool museum! Would be easy to spend a couple of hours there. So much history. A couple of places you walk over glass to read what's under, or see the poppies. Twelve minute info movie runs on repeat. Free parking. Beautiful park area. Tower view amazing. Ticket was $13. That includes main museum and tower. There was a private exhibit you could add on for $6 I think. I only had time for 2 areas. Gift shop and café inside as well.

This museum was absolutely amazing! There are so many artifacts amd so much information. The exhibits immersive. We spent 3 hours there at least. Going up in the tower was amazing as well. It was only $3 more.

The National WWI Museum and Memorial is an incredible experience powerful, educational, and beautifully designed. The exhibits are immersive and tell the story of the Great War through real artifacts, videos, and personal stories. The Liberty Memorial tower offers stunning views of Kansas City, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Plan at least 2 hours to really take it all in. A must-visit spot in KC!

This place and the city in general is beautiful. I didn't take any of the tours because I had my dog with me. I did go inside to ask questions about the outside architecture. Basically, it was built when Egypt was all the hype. The sphinx looking toward the west is a symbol of progress and I think they said the one looking toward the east is for a reminder of the past. The tall tower are the 4 guardians looking over everyone and each resemble something like Honor, Courage, Patriotism, and Sacrifice the virtues that protected the soldiers during W.W.I. I could be wrong about some of this info so its best to go and ask questions yourself. I also asked if the guardians were influenced by Greek or Roman gods because the Sphinx to me looks more like the Greek Sphinx and the historians told me no there is no link to Greek or Roman mythology. In my opinion the guardians look like Mercury or Hermes. Messengers of the God's. I like to think they are depictions of them, forever messengers of the past to remind us of a better future. Remind us what our ancestors fought for.

Worth visiting. Recommend getting the tower tickets with the museum ones combined, it's cheaper and hmthe views from the tower were spectacular. Museum was a great place to learn about the WW1 history!

Very elegant. Very well put together. Free admission. 14 dollar parking. After 30 minutes. Really a beautiful place to spend an afternoon with someone you love who loves art. It was worth the visit. I regret nothing. Thank you Kansas City for a wonderful experience.

Really cool museum with great outdoor views and space and paintings and art. The art is really awesome with some wonderful pieces. If you were there for a day you could see half of it. The cafe food is really good too with lots of pastries and lunch-brunch food that is really nice on a good day for a picnic. Mini putt is fun including the pieces in the holes. Really fun alone or with a whole family. really really fun.

One of the best museums I've ever been to boasting a wide variety of art and sculptures from around the World! Start off playing nine holes of mini golf which is so much fun! Then go visit the Museum to see all the treasures it has to offer! Then take a break and have a wonderful snack/lunch at the courtyard style Cafe in the Museum. Then back to explore the rest. A great way to spend a few hours if you love Art! Definitely a must visit!

I absolutely loved our visit here. We got to see Van Gogh paintings which we are huge fans of. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it. It’s free entry you just pay for parking and can donate which you get a wristband. Highly recommend.

There was plenty to see. Enjoyed seeing the different cultures that were on exhibition. Very beautiful building, clean restrooms, elevator access,huge outdoor open areas for sitting and relaxing. The only off putting thing was the employees , some of them weren’t very friendly. Other than that it was a nice experience. We visited from Omaha as we were in town visiting.

We spent over 3 hours and barely got through 1.5 floors. So much to see. The European impressionist art on level 1 was stunning. Took a quick break in the cafe Rozelle. Charming. The architecture of the museum building was as impressive as the collection. Modern collection impressive as well. We could have easily spent the whole day if schedule allowed. Admission is free. $14 to park.

An excellent museum featuring a stunning collection of artwork. The range is impressive — from American history to Chinese heritage — offering a well-rounded cultural experience that truly showcases art in its purest form. I highly recommend visiting, and be sure to explore every exhibit before you leave. With free admission, there’s no reason to miss this place.

I’m on a mission to visit every MLB stadium, and Kauffman was number 12 for me. For being 50+ years old, I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this ballpark is! We went with my son’s baseball team and a group of about 40 people on an extremely hot day (94° at first pitch), but it was still a fantastic experience. Every seat in the stadium is angled perfectly toward the field since it was built specifically for baseball—not a converted football stadium. The famous outfield fountains are truly impressive and something everyone should see in person. The family environment here is outstanding. The Little K area has batting cages, pitching radars, 40-yard dash timers, mini golf, and even a carousel. There’s also a kids’ team store and a concession stand with a fun kids’ meal in a collectible lunch box—perfect for keeping little ones entertained during the game. I also loved the many first-come, first-serve areas to watch from. On a lighter crowd day (around 15,000 fans when we went), it was easy to move around and enjoy different vantage points. Food options were excellent too, with everything from local BBQ to classic ballpark must-haves. Overall, I’d rank Kauffman as one of the top stadiums I’ve visited so far. It’s family-friendly, full of character, and much nicer than I expected given its age. Definitely worth the trip!

Very nice stadium! We are making our way through all 30 MLB Stadiums, and this one has a lot to offer compared to others. Reasonable prices, lots of space to move around and sit and enjoy drinks and/or food, and the fountains make it really unique. The staff were all very friendly as well.

We are trying to visit every MLB stadium. Thisnis our 5th stadium and we were very happy with it. 1st everyone and I mean EVERYONE was the most friendliest people I have met. We saw 2 games here. The 1st was in thr Lexas all you can eat seats and had thr best hot dogs in a park yet. The popcorn was great and buttery. The food options were great. The only negative is the seats are quite tight. Im only 5'9 and my knees were in the seat in front of me. The second game we got upper deck seats and we ate off the value menu. The hot dogs and pretzels were descent price. The stadium is beautiful and both views were great. The fountains are very pretty. If we are ever out that way again we already said we will be stopping by for another game. Oh and bonus was fireworks we didnt even know were happening after the game.

What a beautiful stadium with amazing views! Walking from the parking lot to the entrance, we saw many people tailgating which I didn't expect with baseball games. We had checked the bag policy ahead of time so we were prepared but there was a woman in front of us whose purse was too large for entry. She tried to argue that she was just at Busch Stadium (STL) the night before, but they were firm with their bag policy. We tried the loaded nachos, which were amazing and huge so two of us shared an order. The staff were incredible with our group since we arrived early and needed some guidance to orient ourselves. I love the fountains in the stadium and how they manipulate both the flow and the colors of the water. Great space for a baseball game!

There's absolutely NO reason to replace this wonderful baseball stadium. The sightlines are good, there are very few seats where your view is obstructed, and the Event Staff is second to none! Park early and tailgate, then bring in any food items in a clear bag, along with sealed water bottles. Guest Services team is especially accommodating. Go Royals!

Home run derby was cool, tix were only like $25 and it was a different vibe of course and the stadium didn't sell a ton of tix, just select seats and it was a fun atmosphere. Fireworks afterward so it was a fun evening. Not all the vendors were open but it was enough to handle the crowd.

This place is pretty much our second home in the summertime. It is what kept our sanity as new parents. We absolutely love Kauffman because of how family friendly it is (park, rides, mini golf, splash pad, mother's room) and there's even a very affordable concession in the kids area that has chicken nuggets and $5 beers. We purchase the cheap nose bleed seats up top and just walk around the stadium with our stroller and the kids. There are so many places available to view the game.

Our family had a remarkable and unforgettable experience at the Union Station Christmas show. The environment was warm, welcoming, and truly magical. It’s a perfect place for families, friends, and even business gatherings to enjoy the holiday spirit together. Highly recommended!

Absolutely gorgeous place! Learning about the building's history was incredibly fascinating. Even if you don't have a lot of time, it's worth dropping in just to view the architecture & the carefully curated history displays about Union Station. Walk around & take in those 95-foot ceilings with a cup of coffee from the cafe on-site or grab a bite of lunch from the restaurant. There is so much to do here & they have featured exhibitions as well. We only visited to view the building & the history displays but they have tons of other stuff to do, so do your research ahead of time. It could easily be turned into a full day of exploration. Long live Union Station!

This place was AMAZING!!! It is worthy of a visit by everyone. The place is generally free - that's why you pay for parking. The first 30 minutes are free. Then you pay $7 for up to 5 hours. It's a but of change after that. The place was big. These are free areas that tells you about trains and you get to walk the large hall. At the front of the place is 3 floors that is about the building and how it was build and restored. That part is free. There's 4 restaurants in there, 2 areas you have to pay for the kids (an outdoor play area, and kids science museum), a movie theater, and a free planetarium. There's also a small interacted science museum that has optical illusions. It was $18 per person. And, of course, a gift shop. There's also an Amtrak that runs to St. Louis. So yes, there's a REAL train there too. And a post office. The architecture is Wonderful-Amazing-Superb!!! The restoration is explained on the 3rd floor of the museum. Very interesting. There's also a part about a WW1 monument that's outside. It's free too. Overall, it's a place for the entire family, couples and older ones. No pets allowed, but they wouldn't get much out of it anyway. A must see!! So, why travel outside of the United States? *wisper* no passport.

We had a nice afternoon at Union Station. It had been about 20 years since our last visit and we happened to be there during KC Fringe. We went and visited the museum parts upstairs to learn about the history of the station. We wandered around and saw the Guinness World Record exhibit and we went to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory where we took advantage of their buy 5 get 1 free for their truffles.

All aboard! We had so much fun exploring the Titanic exhibit at Union Station that we’re officially planning round two in Branson! 🚢✨ My passenger name was Clear Annie Cameron — I came to the new world with a friend, we both survived, and yet… I still hopped right back on a ship to England a few years later because America just wasn’t doing it for me. But the wildest part of Clear’s story? She talked about how so many first-class men refused to give up their seats for women and children. Kansas City’s Union Station is wonderful! always something to do and explore. @bucketlistbabekc for more photos

Fantastic historic train station in my favorite style (neo-classical). Beautiful building with a nice history display right by the Link walkway. Various things to do in the station, and tons of other activities easily accessible nearby. I also enjoyed the Freight Bridge that connects the station to the restaurants and area North of the station. Perfect place to look down on trains coming and going.

I enjoyed spending the morning here, shopping, browsing the museums and simply walking around. The museums included one for the Kansas City Chiefs football team and model trains. So much to do in one space. I even bought a postcard and mailed it from the Post Office on site.

So I had heard the amazing story of how this was found a few years ago. The determination of the guys was awesome. Glad they decided to keep it all in one place and share it with the world. Amazing to see all that was recovered and the pieces that remained. Really worth the stop if you can make your way to this museum.

Find yourself in Kansas City? The Arabia Steamboat Museum in the River Market is an absolute must-visit — a true hidden gem that left me completely awestruck. From the moment you walk in, you sense that this place is special. The curators have masterfully woven storytelling and preservation into a captivating experience. You begin with short, powerful videos about the steamboat’s tragic sinking in 1856 and its miraculous rediscovery in the 1980s. Then you’re led through exhibit rooms filled with artifacts that seem impossibly well preserved — from shoes and hat pins to tools, kitchenware, and even jars of pickles. The fact that these relics survived underground for over a century is in itself astonishing.  One of the highlights is walking along a full-scale replica of the Arabia’s main deck (171 ft long), complete with original boilers, anchors, the paddle wheel, and even a mule skeleton recovered from the wreck. It’s immersive, eerie, and wonderfully educational.  What I appreciated most was the balance between big “wow” artifacts and the tiny, everyday items — every jar, nail, or coin gives you a micro-glimpse into frontier life in 1856. The staff is knowledgeable and clearly passionate, and they make the science of preservation feel as exciting as the history itself. If you’re a history buff, a lover of oddities, or just someone who enjoys places that make you stop and think, the Arabia Steamboat Museum will deliver. And as a bonus, its setting in the River Market makes it easy to pair with strolling, local food, or nearby shops. I’m giving it five stars — I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know.

The museum had excellent pieces of the lost cargo from the Arabian Steamboat. Loved the exhibits of tools, clothing, and detailed goods needed for the 1850's. We loved the videos put together for the story of the adventurous dig, and the theater show put on for visitors. However one of the staff was a little off-putting near the end of our tour. We talked with two of them. We lacked knowledge on some of the subjects, and frankly even though they explained themselves, I believe they didn't express much in grace for our lack of knowledge. We told them thank you and left for the day. I am not certain that I would return, in spite of the lovely exhibits and intriguing storyline. I'm glad that the museum exists for the story though. Good to save another piece of history.

We visited the Arabia Steamboat Museum today, and it was awesome! The history, artifacts, and exhibits were all fascinating—and Josh made the experience even better. Definitely worth the visit. One tip: parking on one side of the building is free, but the other side is paid. We didn’t know that and ended up paying when we didn’t have to!

We paid $35.96 for two people in October 2025. It is a very interesting place that is at the deepest lower levels of the building. There's a big wheel that was pretty cool and you could see it rotating in the water. Though I could not locate the actual source of the energy which I'm assuming is a massive electric motor of some sort with a gearbox and it was hidden. The place is extremely dark for those with limited vision which hindered my ability to see a lot of the attractions. Electricity must be a factor in how they display things because it would be better fully lit to actually see a lot of it. Since it's a merchant ship most of the merchandise is what you would expect from a delivery vehicle or a massive container ship. The merchandise that was on said ship is quite interesting and I've had a number of those items over the years. I especially lock their lock collection. I lived in a farmhouse as a kid that had all those white ceramic locks and knobs. The fine China was really beautiful and you can find exact pieces online through eBay or other sources and the prices are pretty expensive. One basic white serving dish with lid was over $250. The price was about what you would expect from a place designed to bring in tourist and visitors. It's a bit more than other places at 16.50 per person.

One of the most fantastic places I have been to and it's hardly advertised. Wifey and I were recommended to go here by a couple we never met at a Subway sandwich shop he said yeah there's the steamboat Museum you might find interesting. WOW! WHAT A FRIGGAN UNDERSTATEMENT!! Google the Arabian steamboat sinking for additional information but this is a site not to be missed.

A Kansas City history staple. The museum feels smaller than I remember it as a kid but I think its just me. It's a very different experience seeing it ~20 years later as an adult. Hopefully the museum finds a new home soon.

Find just about anything here. At Bo Lings I had a fabulous bubble tea. Candy store had hello kitty items, and the Spanish inspired buildings are just beautiful. Wonderful place to walk around.

Friends recommended here when I was visiting. I really wasn’t looking for high-end shopping but I enjoyed the statues, architecture and water fountains. (Kansas City is known as the "City of Fountains" and has more fountains than all other cities except Rome. Rome has over 2,000 public fountains, while Kansas City is believed to have more than 200. The city's fountains are a significant part of its culture and identity, with many located in parks, on boulevards,)

Nice place for families! There was an art show this weekend. Food booths not so great! I'm from southwest Kansas. So when you go to a taco booth. You're going to get your money's worth! There was a couple of stages set up for live music. And it was a beautiful evening with the perfect weather.

The Plaza area is true gem! Its rich history and charming architecture make it a fascinating destination for visitors and locals alike. Walking through the area, you can feel the sense of heritage and culture, and the lively atmosphere adds to its appeal. With shops, cafés, and beautiful public spaces, it’s the perfect spot to explore, take photos, and immerse yourself in a vibrant and historical setting. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience a unique and memorable destination.

Sooo much fun at the 93rd Art Fair on the Plaza. Every year I save my coins to purchase an original art from artist around the country. If you haven’t been it’s always in September. LOVE LOVE THIS! Thank you Sunryse Pottery for my beautiful ceramic soap dispensers♥️

Another amazing meal at Cooper's Hawk! From the salmon spread appetizer to the caramel creme brulee dessert, the food was well prepared and delicious. Our service, starring the very attentive Karmynn, was fantastic as well. I don't usually call out servers by name, but if you can request to be seated with her it's worth a try to ask for her section - even during a busy evening, her wonderfully bubbly personality made our meal even more enjoyable. We topped off a great date night by taking home a few bottles of wine for future enjoyment. We will be back soon!

this is a very nice area surrounded by higher end shopping and dining options. very clean, pleasant to stroll through

We had not been to the KC zoo in many years. The staff was nice and the facilities were clean. The aquarium was amazing. My favorites are the penguins and the sea lions. We went again to experience the GloWild event that happens at night. We took the grandkids and it was fun as well. So many hand painted lighted exhibits.

Had a great time at the zoo! The aquarium and penguin exhibits are excellent! I could have spent hours watching everything. The polar bear exhibit had no animals to display. That used to be a fun thing to see. The California Sea Lions are always fun to watch. The elephants were great to see. The KC Zoo has the 2nd oldest African Elephant in North America! She was born in 1968! If you have never been there or haven't been in a few years you will be amazed at all the improvements made. Also, to the staff at the Zoo, You guys are great! Everyone was friendly and made my visit even better. Thank you!!!

Went specifically for Brew at the Zoo.. Was cool to get to check out the GloWild exhibits and small subset of animals as well. The event was cool.. Maybe a little overcrowded, for me, as lines got pretty long. More $ for the zoo though, so can't complain. Definitely was t to get back for a real zoo experience.

Beautiful places for families and friends! The zoo pays a lot of attention to details and even the small things. I really appreciate their efforts to create such a welcoming environment. The animals seem happy and are living their best lives.

I really like how affordable it is, especially with the inclusion of the aquarium. It never feels crowed and the animals feel like they are well taken care of. I love how it's set up too! Lots to see and the fennec foxes were super cute.

Went in a Friday in October. Place was nearly empty, was so easy to walk around. Huge place couldn't see it all in 4 hours. The immersive experience with the kangaroos was incredible. The aquarium is outstanding! So worth the minimal cost. 10/10

KC Zoo was good. Did not see many animals out on this day which was frustrating. The Aquarium was nice. The staff are friendly and the area was clean. The food is crazy expensive but they give you "free" refills if you purchase a special cup. :/ You do have the option of bringing in your own cooler. Train ride has a fee. Would not have purchased season passes if we had known what we know now. The good on that is we can visit some other zoos for free or discounted prices.

Went to Sea Life aquarium today with my daughter and grandson today. He was excited to see all the fish and walk thru the exhibit. They had a touch pool for him to reach in and touch some of the animals. He enjoyed that part. There were touch screens for him to clear the beach. All in all, it was a good day.

Great little aquarium with Lego World attached. There were turtles, stingrays, sharks and many others. We had a blast walking through being kids and taking in all the sea life. Would have liked it to be a little bigger with more to see, but was well worth the visit anyway. Staff was helpful and friendly.

First time going to sealife, it eas an awesome experience. Loved all of it. Great place to take your children and learn about different sea life out there. My favorite was the sea dragons, as the way they look and swim was very 3d or unreal to me. For a family of 4 with 2 of the $5.00 add event for children to do throughout the visit for a prize at the end it cost $100 with taxes, and got free parking for 5 hours with ticket validation over $50 spent. We'll worth it. Also at the end they have virtual reality that you can do that cost $7.00 and you can choose to dive with dolphins, sharks and couple more. Also can take a photo at the very beginning that you can choose different background but cost $30.00 if you decide to purchase.

It was a great experience! They had more than I expected, but lacked certain key attractions. There were no cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish), no crabs or lobsters or shellfish, and only a few sharks. No mammals, either. Not even seals. They did have sea turtles, though, which was awesome. Including the Kemp's Ridley sea turtle, which is the rarest. They had a ton of stingrays and manta rays, which we fed for an extra charge. Unfortunately, they don't let you touch them, which is sad because they are so intelligent and affectionate. We were only allowed to touch some sea urchins, which was honestly a bit underwhelming. Overall, it was worthwhile for a single visit.

Was not as exciting for how big the building is. It was nice and there are a lot of cool sea animals to look at. Did not like that they were cashless because we had cash on us for the trip

My daughter & I enjoyed this place thoroughly, we spent an hour & a half here reading & truly looking at the creatures. There’s a quite a few interactive displays, lots of different sea creatures. If you rush, the money won’t feel worth it. I still found it rather pricey, but you can’t place a price on memories.

We had a great visit to the aquarium today. The behind the scenes tour is worth the extra money. Jasmine led us on our tour today and it was fun to see the larger tank from above, find out extra stuff about the animals and just to see a little of what it takes to care for so many diverse animals.. Parking - you can park in the Crown Center public garage for free. Sea Life or Legoland will validate your parking up to 6 hours,

Worlds of Fun lives up to its name—it’s a vibrant, family-friendly amusement park with something for everyone. Whether you're chasing thrills or just looking for a relaxing day out, this place delivers. Your ticket also covers Oceans of Fun water park: Perfect for cooling off on hot summer days. The parking ticket is on a high side but you can can purchase a season ticket to avoid that. Tip: Buy tickets online in advance and arrive early to make the most of your day.

Some rides were down and I'm not sure why. It may be the time of year of the events going on. The carnival games are typical rip-offs with cheap prizes when you do win. I have several good allergies and for the most part was able to ask about allergens. I wasn't able to get information at one of the grills in Africa. The chaperone policy was "in effect" but didn't seem to be enforced. We only came across one photographer the entire time we were there from 1200-2000, but he did a fantastic job. He was quick and left us laughing. The FunPix photos weren't working when we rode the Zambizi Zinger which was unfortunate. It was a fun, quick, jerky ride that was one and done for us. One of the drink places had no ice. Still, we had fun. We spent 8 hours there, mostly taking in the Halloween decorations which is what we came for. We bought the Prestige Passes and do plan to come back in the future, hopefully to better entertainment.

It was drizzling but we still had a great time. The lines weren’t long at all. We spent most of the day there from 11am - 10 pm and did the haunted attractions also. We had the the fast past on haunted houses, thankfully because there was lines. We had a great time and road all the rides some multiple times also. First time coming here during spook fest. Good times highly recommend

We visited Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun last July on a Monday, and it was a great experience! The park wasn’t too crowded, so we didn’t need to purchase a Fast Pass — we were able to enjoy most of the thrilling rides without long waits. The Mamba was a definite highlight — such a wild, adrenaline-pumping ride! We also got the unlimited Coca-Cola drink deal, which was totally worth it, especially on a hot day. At Oceans of Fun, we enjoyed the lazy river, though it would’ve been even better with more available tubes. Overall, it was a super fun day and made for a great side trip from Omaha. Would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a day of excitement and water fun!

Love worlds of fun always have a blast here but it definitely adds up fast! Thank you for being smoke and vape free that is a blessing! Food is way overpriced. Bathrooms are spaced too far apart, definitely need more! Most of the drink stations were not in working order when we visited which means the ones that were working were very busy all day long running out of everything. Lines were terrible 90 minute waites for one ride makes your time go by so fast while your just standing around. Parking cost $30! No coolers or food is allowed to come in to the park with you so that's unfortunate. Just be prepared to spend a pretty penny whenever you come to worlds of fun.

This is a fun park with a great variety of coasters and other rides, and a water park. It's a good size so you can certainly spend all day here. The park is themed to around the world in 80 days. There's some really pretty theming in some areas, some nice shady spots. It's clean and I felt safe here. The rides are fun, the employees were nice that I encountered. Very fun

Weather today was perfect. For the most part the employees are nice and helpful. Our biggest issue was that my grandson really wanted dip n dots so we spent a lot of time waiting in lines to be told they didn't have but 1 flavor and would tell us to go to another location just to get there and find out that that location was closed .We found at oceans of fun they did have more then 1 flavor just to stand in line for a very very long time and when it was his turn to order was told that they started a download on card reader and was redirected to yet another stand By this time I was pretty upset that we had waited in several lines and yet again being sent somewhere else. This child was the last in line and they could not serve him because they had chosen that second to download a card reader. They could have and should have let him purchase his dip n dots . He was devastated. We spent a big part of our day standing in line to be told go stand in another line. He is a little guy and walking mostly all up hill all day is hard on his little legs ...He did finally get his dip n dots but in return he was left with 25 minutes of oceans of fun time it was closing time there ,that was upsetting. Back to worlds of fun so a lot more walking with a very tired disappointed child who is now getting cranky as well. If not for this run around we would have had a much better day...We did get some Camp Snoopy time in before the run around.For the smaller children that is the place to go..The employees there are very kid friendly. And we got 3 rides in after the run around...The only other issue is that it seems like no matter where you are going it is all uphill..

YES! Had a wonderful time in the museum. Lots and lots of information and artifacts from the league. You are also treated to a short documentary about how and why the league was started. The museum also gives a timeline of things going on around the world as the league was forming and prospering. The museum is for everyone and all will enjoy. If you are a music fan you can walk over to the Jazz Museum when you finish.

What an amazing experience this was to visit. I am a sports fan but prefer football and this was still awesome. We attended an event and also had jazz music playing. Everyone should take the opportunity to learn some additional history in the area.

Very cool place!! Not sure why I waited so long to check this place out. I wasn’t expecting everything that it had ! so much information & Everything is so well kept. The gift shop was such a great added bonus… I was able to buy my fiancé a cool jazz bracelet.

Great film to start the museum, so please watch it. There are many exhibits to see and learn from. At the end there is a small field with bronze statues of Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson and other legends chosen to be the starting 9. A great addition to my trip on way to Kauffman Stadium to knock it off as my 29th out of 30.

I visited on October 18, and it was a 15 out of 10. This is a must visit for everyone especially Baseball fans who are visiting Kansas City, Missouri. The history, memorabilia and artifacts were overwhelming. It was an eye opening experience, when I saw how black baseball players were treated in the early 1900’s and beyond it left a horrible feeling in my stomach. Thanks again for sharing your Museum with me.

Incredible experience. My visit was short but I’m so glad I made the trip. This is a must see if you are in town.

This place was recommended by a friend of ours. The construction in front of the building made access difficult. The museum itself was magnificent. So much important history. I love how the museum is designed to align what was happening in the world along with what was happening in baseball.

A whole floor full of Lego characters and educational games. A little bit expensive I would say … for just one floor for just one day… however we were free to go out to have lunch and allowed back in. It’s better if you book the tickets online in advance and visit on a weekday.

Kids loved it. Was surprised that they had 3 rides in side. Was really crowded when we first arrived but did thin out so they could enjoy it more with out bumping g into other constantly. Will return Was really cool with alot of hands on activities. The displays was awesome aswell.

Pretty expensive and then you have to pay additional $7 for the virtual game they have inside!!! That doesn't even come with the VIP or std ticket admission I was disappointed they didn't have ideas at each station. We paid for the everything package and was super disappointed We didn't get more for the VIP experience It was 120+ dollars for 2 adults and 1 four old... I think if there were more ideas at each station that would have been helpful to keep littles engaged Some staff were helpful others didn't seem to know much it was strange

The Discovery Center is located within a building complex. If you follow GPS it will put you near the entrance to the parking garage. Parking is by a ticket given as you pull in, and a validation ticket is given at the entrance to the Discovery Center for 3hrs of parking. HOLD ON TO BOTH. You will need both when you leave. Scan the parking ticket first, then the validation ticket for the discount. Regarding the inside, the Discovery Center was clean, and well staffed. Every employee seemed in a good mood and happy to help. We came here as an alternative to the St Louis zoo (because of the tornado damage) for my 17yr old who loves Legos. I really wish there was any type of disclaimer/disclosure for ages. This Discovery Center is very much for younger kids, maybe early teens. It was much smaller than expected, but we still had fun.

We came here for my son’s 4th birthday today and had the best time and experience we’ve ever had at this Lego land. The workers were the sweetest to him. There was an older female employee that I did not catch her name but took her time to help him make a car and pumpkin. She made sure that he had a birthday crown and buttons once she found out that it was his birthday. You could tell that she loves her job there and working with kids. She made his experience there extra special today! We stayed for almost 4 hours and my son never ran out of things to do, he is obsessed with legos and building with them.

Lego land was cool. I took a star because this location is for small children. I been to others that had a lot more to do and more things to see. It was still fun. I would recommend for families with children under 10. We made the most of it and still had a good time.

Has lots of things for kids and adults to do. Some things were out of order. But overall they had fun. There's a concession stand/Starbucks coffee that closes everyday, so if you're trying to eat before 2 it might be closed.

Best stadium in football until they build another one. Clark Hunt is the dream NFL owner. This stadium is classic and timeless, old school and modern. The parking/driving situation is like any other venue of this size. If you come, plan on arriving early and staying late. Prices are high but each purchase contributed to the growth of this team’s brand and it is worth every penny. This is a place that will give you memories that last a lifetime. Bucket list venue for everyone.

This was an amazing experience for us. The environment was very welcoming.. The fans are loud and friendly. Very nice stadium. We left before the game was over so we are not sure how traffic is getting out of the lots. If your team is playing the chiefs we highly recommend traveling here for a game! #HTTC 🏈

I have been bringing my family, including my daughters, to games at Arrowhead Stadium for more than twenty five years. As long time season ticket holders, our lives during football season have always revolved around the Kansas City Chiefs. Some of our best family memories have been made right here, surrounded by thousands of fans who share the same love and excitement for the team. From the moment you walk into Arrowhead, you can feel the energy in the air. The sea of red, the sound of drums, and the roar of the crowd create an atmosphere that is truly electric. The fans are passionate, loyal, and welcoming to everyone. Whether it is the first game of the season or a big playoff matchup, the excitement never fades. The stadium staff are always friendly and helpful, and they keep everything running smoothly even when the crowds are huge. The food is great, and there is nothing like enjoying barbecue and cheering on the Chiefs surrounded by family and friends. Arrowhead Stadium is not just a place to watch football. It is a place where generations of fans come together to celebrate, to share traditions, and to be part of something truly special. It is an experience unlike any other.

Would like to be able to rate as 4.5. Gates open early for tailgating. For tailgating, they have port-a-potties, but NO handwashing stations, so bring sanitizing wipes. There are bins in the parking lot to collect metal/plastic/glass for recycling, and they also usually have a staff person drive around the lot before game time to collect your bagged recycling. At stadium entrance, the security staff has been pleasant. Inside the stadium, the women's restrooms are clean and have an attendant. If you need salt for food, bring your own, especially for the popcorn.

If you've ever spoken to the Hillbilly for more than 5 seconds concerning any sports, you know he is a HUGE KC Chiefs fan. And since the HB and daughter unit were gifted 2 fantastic seats for the only home preseason game, we were excited! While a preseason game isn't exactly like a regular season game, it was still awesome! TONS of staff on premises, some folks even just walking around with signs that say "Can I assist you?" How cool is that? The one negative thing I can say about Arrowhead, they know you're a captive audience and they are going to screw you to the wall on food and beverages! So be prepared to sell a kidney for anything you purchase. But for Chiefs fans, Arrowhead is sacred ground. Even if it's not for a game or you're not a Chiefs fan, a tour of the stadium is going to be worth your time.

We had a blast at the preseason game! The stadium, while it is aging, was in good condition and the atmosphere was something everyone needs to experience! The food and drink prices were typical of NFL or other professional sports venues (a bit high for my taste). They did have a lot of food and drink options which kept the lines short and manageable allowing us to quickly get back to watch the game rather than spending all of our time standing in lines. The pro shop was small and very HOT! They could do with some ventilation or A/C in there. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.

What an unbelievable environment. Fan base is electric. Stadium is awesome. Food options were great. A great experience for this New Yorker. I had two tickets in two different sections. One about €20 back in the end zone and the other upper deck. Honestly the upper deck seating situation was much better than the lower end zone section. In the first quarter I sat up top. And for the rest of the game, I sat down low and looking back I would’ve preferred to sit in the upper section.

Booked the beer tour. $17 per ticket. 5 beers come with this. Two were great, the rest were mid / wouldn’t drink them again. Tour guide was good. Fun experience, got to learn about the brewing process. Was with a friend who was a couple minutes late. They took her ticket, which you can turn in for 2 free beers, and gave her just one free beer ticket. It was very odd considering she technically paid for the 5 beers that come with the tour. Better be early or right on time… or you will just lose your money

Great selection of beers and food. Went with the Oktoberfest, tis the season. Also snagged a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant 🤤 Really cool brewery with a great patio balcony to relax on. The service was always with a smile!

Great place, fantastic beer, awesome atmosphere. Definitely worth the trip if you like beer. If you LOVE beer, why are you looking at reviews, go drink a couple and enjoy. The beer speaks for itself. Food is pretty good, not amazing but good. Being in KC, get some BBQ and enjoy the beer here

Wonderful brewery featuring a large selection of beers including many interesting experimental beers. The tap house is 2 stories and includes a great gift shop, bar area, and history of beer. Tours are also available of the brewery.

Boulevard Brewery is a fantastic spot with great beer and surprisingly solid food. Whenever I’m in Kansas City, I always try to stop by. The space is huge with plenty of indoor and outdoor areas to hang out. The staff is friendly, service is quick, and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommend and would absolutely come back!

Their seltzers were hit and miss. They packed a punch of flavor -- especially enjoyed the cherry blossom and lime, and strawberry, lemon, basil. The service wasn't necessarily the friendliest but wouldn't stop me from coming back again. Their facility is stunning.

Food is good! Great vibes!! Their Fling cocktails are perfect! Just wish they were available on the East coast. Thank goodness Boulevard Brewery is also at the KC airport; I was able to have Paloma Fling before heading home.

Parking garage adjacent to the center. Beautiful venue. The tiers are well placed to allow view of the stage. Very clean and elegant. Multiple bars open for cocktails/beverages and light fare before show and during intermission. I wish my boyfriend Matt Dz*****z was here, maybe a precursor to our Kennedy center gala experience someday. Staff available everywhere to assist in giving information, hand out programs and help you find your seat. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional.

An architectural masterpiece designed to deliver an immersive experience of the arts in each is its two theaters. Acoustically optimized to ensure there isn’t a bad seat in the house. For the movie lovers, highly encourage taking in one of the their movie symphony performances. Where the symphony performs the movie’s soundtrack while the blockbuster plays above them. It’s take the movie watching experience into a whole new level

The Kauffman Center is truly one of Kansas City’s most iconic architectural gems—and it’s always a highlight in my wedding photography. With its sweeping curves and modern design, it offers a bold, artistic backdrop that’s instantly recognizable and uniquely KC. Whether I’m photographing wedding parties or couples, the building’s striking lines and dramatic shapes elevate every image to something special. The nearby open plazas add even more options for creative portraits. From classic elegance to contemporary flair, the Kauffman Center fits effortlessly into any wedding style while giving photos an unmistakable sense of place.

It’s an absolutely gorgeous venue with not one bad seat in the house!!! One thing to remember, no drinks or food are allowed into the auditorium. You have to consume those in the lobby.

With a view of Old Kansas City, the lobby of this performing arts center is a beautiful place to sit, drink, or saunter around before the music starts. The auditorium includes a majestic pipe organ. Paid parking is available, or find free street parking along the surrounding blocks on Sundays. (So long as you’re not nervous about leaving your car in a sketchy area of town.)

We had an exceptional experience at the Kaufman Center, witnessing our community’s children perform on stage during their anniversary celebration. The performance was both inspiring and beautifully executed. We were equally impressed by the presence and leadership of the center’s team, and it was a pleasure to personally congratulate them for organizing such a memorable and impactful event. This experience truly reflects the center’s dedication to the arts and the community.

The People’s Choice Awards at The Kauffman Center was Amazing. Great Customer service Great venue Great atmosphere. Enjoyed every minute.

Nice STEM based activities for the kids. They had lessons in electricity, magnetism, and physics. Give yourself 3 hours minimum to hit all the exhibits. The outdoor play area is open if there no lightning and no heat index at 105 or more. Checkout the cool water area with cascading buckets and flow control dams that the kids can change. Bring snacks as there are limited places to eat even in union station. One room for improvement: more than a few exhibits were partially out of order. Same with the men’s bathroom. Parking is paid if you are driving and it’s in a parking garage.

This is such a fun place for kids of all ages! The new train section was a hit for my toddler. Such a great addition! My 6 yr old loved the indoor climbing structure and the dinosaur area and my 9 year old loved all of the stem activities. We were there for about 4 hours but I think we definitely could have spent more time there. Weekday afternoons are less busy!

Upon approaching the hallowed halls of Science City, I was immediately struck by the palpable hum of universal energy vibrating through the very atoms of Kansas City itself. The edifice rises not merely as a museum, but as a cathedral of curiosity, a sanctum where the whispers of quantum particles and the sighs of electrons are nearly audible to the attuned visitor. I traversed the labyrinthine exhibits, each meticulously curated, where every interactive installation felt like a secret ritual designed to awaken latent neural pathways and realign one’s chakras with the cosmic order. I was particularly captivated by the kinetic sculptures, which, like tiny oracles of motion, whispered truths about the universe that mere mortals rarely perceive. Time itself seemed to dilate, each second a crystallized gem of wonder and revelation. Crossing the portal to Union Station was akin to stepping into a temporal nexus where history, architecture, and the soul of the city intertwine. The grand concourse, bathed in the reverent light of its monumental windows, felt like the backstage of the cosmos, where every marble floor tile hums the songs of a thousand trains that once traversed the veins of America. The ceiling murals, painted with the sweat and dreams of artistic alchemists, narrated epic sagas of human ambition, steam engines, and interstellar imaginings, demanding silent contemplation. Even the ticket counters seemed imbued with latent wisdom, as though the clerks were gatekeepers to portals of both time and imagination. I dined, spiritually, at the food court, where pretzel nuggets took on the aura of golden relics, each bite a meditation on dough and salt, and the aroma of roasted coffee beans acted as an invisible incense, binding my consciousness to the hallowed architecture surrounding me. Every corridor, every exhibit, every fleeting echo of children’s laughter vibrated with metaphysical significance. Walking out, I did not merely leave a building, I ascended, if only metaphorically, to a higher plane where Science City and Union Station are not places, but living, breathing synapses in the brain of the universe itself. To anyone seeking not mere entertainment, but a pilgrimage, a communion with knowledge and beauty that transcends the mundane, I say: prepare your soul, fasten your metaphysical seatbelt, and surrender yourself to the ineffable wonder that is Kansas City’s dual shrine of Science City and Union Station. You will not leave unchanged; your neurons will hum, your heart will swell, and your existential coordinates will be forever recalibrated.

My kids had a ball there. One of the best experiences they've had yet. We didn't get to do everything because it was so much for them to do. Definitely a place I would visit with them again if I come back to Kansas.

Let me start with a gripe: I take a VERY big issue with their ticket prices. They're advertised as $17/ea so it's deceptive, dishonest, and outright LYING when you get there and they have a sign at the ticket counter "A 10% fee is added to all tickets to help fund blahblahblah". Okay, then the tickets are $18.70 and **not** $17.00. Yes, it's only 10% and yes, I'm sure it must be for a very good cause, but that doesn't excuse the deceit. That said, Science City was *very* fun and had lots of informative displays and exhibits as well as things for the whole family to enjoy. We spent over 4 hours there and only left because we eventually got tired of walking around. And I scored 0.033 seconds on the reflex test.

When Union Stations describes Titanic as an "immersive experience", it truly is! This exhibit is wonderful for the whole family.

I can never say enough good things about this place. The memories I've made with my son in this building are those I'll never ever forget. I love that they rotate new exhibits in often, so every time we go there's something different to see. The place is affordable, clean and neverending. Every time we go, there's something we didn't see or notice the last time. This time we visited, it was the reptile and fish room. They fed a snake while we were there.

We walked here from a nearby restaurant and were immediately greeted upon arrival. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and it was not busy at all. The tour is self-guided, you can make your own bows, and there is a small gift shop in the lobby. I didn't get to spend as much time here as I wanted since I was with a group, so I will try to stop back in the next time I am in KC.

A very worthwhile stop in KC. Very interesting history and business culture still run by family members. A must visit when in KC, you will be pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff, nice little gift shop.

Wonderful experience, thanks to staff member/Supervisor Kimberly West who listened to our concerns on understanding where to park our oversized vehicle. We enjoyed our visit so much

We got to visit the Hallmark Visitor’s Center recently! I loved it! There’s a great Children’s Center next door. So fun! I enjoyed learning the history of Hallmark. Walking through the visual representations of the progression of Hallmark. It’s very different today of course. Beginning as the Vision of 2 brothers & growing into what the offerings are today. Loved getting to do this. Go yourself when you can. Thank you!!

MY trip to Kansas started slow...until we found this place. Everyone love hallmark cards, but do you know the history behind the cards? From a fantastic video that starts at the beginning of a young JC Hall to the marvel that became "Hallmark". A MUST SEE for any visitor. oh yeah, and it is FREE!!

As a long time, Hallmark fan I thought it would be really nice to visit the Hallmark visitor center while I was in town for business. I was greeted at the front desk very cheerfully and pointed into the direction of a 14 minute movie which gave the history of Hallmark and how Jc Hall started it. After the short movie there’s a self guided tour that takes you through the history of the greeting cards, ornaments artists and collaborations with Disney and Charles Schultz along with other big business if you have children, which I don’t, I would suggest going to the kaleidoscope right next-door for the children’s center. It looks like there’s some great activities There parking was in the parking garage, which they validated the parking. The only negative I would say is the signage for the stores, etc. aren’t there so I didn’t know where to go after I did my tour so I just left but I do understand that there’s a lot of other things that you can do there. I was not disappointed by any means.

Excellent experience love seeing the history of Hallmark museum, brought back lots of memories.
