Union Station is so much more than an old train station that has serviced millions over the years. It provides patrons with multiple learning experiences as it hosts many exhibits throughout the year. The station has 95-foot ceilings, a six-foot wide clock that hangs in the central arch, and chandeliers mounted on the vaulted ceiling.
The aim of the station is to showcase artifacts that represent a broad scope of history, illustrate the importance of historical preservation, and inspire the exploration of science. The station attracts high quality travelling exhibits such as Da Vinci the Exhibition, and it has a permanent Kansas City rail experience. Union Station also has a planetarium, an extreme screen theatre, a model train display, and many restaurants and shops to enjoy while adventuring through the activities.
