Union Station Kansas City

Union Station Kansas City is a restored 1914 Beaux-Arts rail terminal that now anchors culture, history, and family-friendly attractions. Inside, you’ll find the Science City museum, traveling exhibitions, a planetarium, the Arvin Gottlieb historic model train gallery, restaurants, and seasonal events. The soaring Grand Hall—with its 95-foot ceilings, chandeliers, and terra-cotta details—offers striking architecture and a sense of the city’s rail-era legacy. Connected to the National WWI Museum and downtown via pedestrian links and the KC Streetcar, it’s an easy stop for architecture enthusiasts, families, and travelers seeking a mix of history, exhibitions, and local activity.
