We stopped in to see the architectural aspects of this historic building. Normally there is a 30 minute free parking option, but during the holidays they have a ‘special event’ of lights and displays so no free parking - it was $12 in the garage or $15 at the nearest lots. Everything was for an additional fee - all the holiday light displays, Disney, science fair, planetarium - all at an additional fee. We walked around the main concourse which was nicely decorated for the holiday, and free. The place was packed. We did pay to go into the science part, but it was really more for little kids (like a hands on playground with a science themed). Not sure any of it was worth the money, but it did get us out of the cold.

Certainly more than meets the eye. We walked in not knowing what to expect as we had never been to a train/railroad station like this. From a restaurant to a coffee shop, movie theater, museum and model train display, we explored for an hour and a half or so. The architecture was amazing. Certainly a fun stop for the railroad enthusiast out there.

Literally the prettiest station I have ever been in and I thought that Grand Central Station in New York city was the best! Also your new airport was the nicest I've ever seen. In addition your people; the kindest We sat down a lovely bar watching the hustle and bustle close to the gorgeous Christmas tree. Well worth the visit to see such a stunning place. Coming from somebody who's not a Train Spotter and a big fan of aeroplanes this is a big deal. ❤️

Very wise people in Kansas City decided to restore this gem. It’s a spectacular venue with lots to do and see. Restaurants, train exhibits, theatres, a Disney exhibition, historical displays. You can easily spend the better part of a day exploring. Put Union Station on your 'must see' list. Lunch at Pierpont's was icing on the cake!

What a gem of a building! This was a highlight of our trip and should not be missed by anyone coming to Kansas City for a visit. Beautifully restored interior and exterior, a true grand dame of the city. Especially interesting was the porcelain ware on display with historical narrative describing the use of the dishes and how meal service came about on trains back in the ‘50’s. Memorable!

Our KC day trip starts at Union Station. Parking is always close in the garage. We always start with a chai latte at LaParisi, then head out to the streetcar. Make sure you check out the mini train museum and any other exhibits in the station. This station holds a lot of generational memories for my family and I. We love to visit❤️

We went to walk around Union Station and take in the beauty of it! It is truly an amazing building with many things to do inside. We didn't get to do anything other than walk around because we were short on time, but there is enough to spend almost a whole day there!

A beautifully majestic restored station. Worth a visit. I sat and had a coffee and wiled away the time people watching. The reminders of old station days are dotted around and worth a look.
