I only go there to take kids to Kaleidoscope - we spend some time at the Toy Museum and Crayola - the crayola café was a pretty cool, albeit pricy lunch - other than that we all find it boring, there isn't really anything else there that interests us that we don't already have closer to our home

For years I've been taking my daughters to Crown Center for the atmosphere, entertainment and shopping. It's especially great in the winter with its beautiful holiday lights and decor and because its indoors. There is literally something for everyone, so it's fun to walk around. I feel safe taking my kids there, too. Hot spots for us: Coiterie Theatre (for... More

We took our 5 year old there on the weekend. Free covered parking is nice. Kid friendly places including Crayola cafe and Fitz's (The food is deliverred to your table by a miniture train). Wander into the hotel and enjoy the waterfall and the ride up in a glass elevator if fun for kids. Above street walkways connect several different... More

I visited the shops at the Crown Center. One thing about staying at the Hotels there? You don't need to worry if you've forgotten to pack something. Just about everything you might need can be found there. I love the place!

We bring the family there when they are in town for a number of different reasons. At Christmas time we attended the Mayor's Christmas tree lighting ceremony and visted the Aquarium and went ice skating.

My mother wanted to go to a candy factory, so she found one in this mall. It turned out to be a candy store. We arrived an hour before they opened. I am surprised how late things open up here.

My family loves Crown Center, There is so much to do there! Shopping, dining, theaters, ice skating, the aquarium, Lego Land, and they have great exhibits for kids! And if all of that is not enough, there is a walkway that connects Crown Center to Union Station for even more to do.

This is a fun place to visit with family and friends. It is not your traditional shopping center so don't look for American Eagler, etc. There are some shops. The big attractions at this place are the aquarium, legoland mini, the train restaurant (Fritz's ) where your food is delivered by train, the crayola restaurant and other speciality shops. It...

We recently were in Kansas City, MO at the Crown Center to do some shopping. The center is full of unique shops and plenty for all ages. We enjoyed strolling the area with my 18 mo old grandson. Lots of kids and strollers! A great family place.
