I have a little boy and we live over 100 miles from KC, but ended up buying a year-long membership because we like UStation so much. The volunteers and staff are always wonderful - especially the paleontologist, who is so patient to talk with my son over the intercom and answer questions about his work (you can watch him work... more

We have taken our children to a number of these type attractions around the country, and I will say that this is one of the best. Our kids (ages 6 and 4) loved it. What came out of my mouth most during our visit was "Stop running!" They couldn't control their excitement about all of the attractions. It was absolutely... more

I really think kids of all ages enjoy this place. I know when we went there were little kids and older kids and they had a great time. There are various activities to keep their minds entertained for hours. I think even the adults had themselves a good time! more

We have a ASTC passport that allows us to enjoy science center nationwide. Our family loves Science City. The name describes it all... They are showing children and adults just how important science is in our daily lives. It's not just some boring subject in school that it has real life applications that can impact our lives. My daughter just... more

Kids and parents liked it. I figured it to be the same old thing we've taken the family to, but it wasn't at all. Plenty of things to keep everyone happy. Even a little playground and mini-golf course, among other things. more

Science City at Union Station. We brought our 12 yr old and the family and we all enjoyed something at this attraction. I will say that some of the exibits needed maintenance because a few thigns did not work but maybe I was there on a bad day. The entire museum has themed areas. Each area is dedicated to specific... more

I recently visited the Science City at Union Station, Kansas City's active and recently restored train station. Unfortunately, its website does very well with the hype and very poorly with substance to back it up. The parking for the facility is not well marked at all...in the end I ended up in the wrong parking lot, and fortunately did not... more

This place is really fun! We enjoyed the sky bike - riding a bike on a wire 30 ft above the ground. The optical illusion hotel was neat - my kids are still talking about it a week later! Another favorite was the tunnels to climb in, designed like an undergound sewer system, and the water table too! They also... more
