We spent the afternoon exploring this museum while in town for a wedding. There are excellent exhibits that thoroughly explain the cause of WWI and the European and American experience. Several movies and the tower were my favorite parts.

Visited the week before Thanksgiving and the admission was $18, but for another $10, you could see the 45 minute film on WWI prisoners. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to see the film. But, for another $5, you can take the elevator up to the tower and walk the final distance of 45 steps on your way to the top, which I did as it provided spectacular views of the city and it's surroundings. The tower serves as a memorial to WWI that was constructed after the war. I walked through the museum and saw plenty of weapons, aircraft, a French tank and countless other items related to the war. There were plenty of personal stories related to the war and it's aftermath. Also, the museum takes you through the war chronologically from the beginning to the end. There is a gift shop and a small cafeteria which I used to eat a quick lunch during my visit. The museum is very conveniently located to downtown and is literally across the street from the Amtrak train station for those who arrive by train as I did. My visit lasted just over 4 hours but this included a quick lunch and a trip up to the top of the tower. If I ever visit KC again, I would visit this museum and see the film as there is a lot to see here for history buffs and those wishing to learn more about the war.

I've always been interested in World War II history and found World War I history harder to grasp. This museum made the era's history very relatable and interesting. The exhibits were excellent and I loved the way they transitioned the story of the war before and after the United States become involved. Great experience!

Great experience visiting the WW1 museum. So much history covered so well by the museum. It is a smart lay out and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It is important that we keep this history alive so we can educate future generations.

Unbelievable presentations and stories of the war. Pictures, staff very knowledgeable. It is limited to WW1. Easy to spend the day there and the food is good if there for lunch. Traveling display worth always going to it.

There are several short films that provide a lot of information. Make sure you allow yourself enough time to enjoy the exhibits. There is an additional museum at the top that required an extra charge. It was only $3 more but I didn't want to walk back down to pay. We learned later we could have used the FREE trolley to get most of the way there.

The museum was top notch & the displays were beautifully done. Modern & much to see. There was a lot of reading. The outside of the building was beautiful. We walked to the top of building & had a great view of City & Union Station.

An incredible museum that’s worth every penny. Would certainly go again & highly recommend. The only disappointment was a young lady in admissions was wearing a black history matters tshirt that was offensive & inappropriate. How does that bs have anything to do with WWI history?

Very cool experience. If in Kansas City this museum is a worthy experience. I learned a lot about World War 1 and the history behind what thrust the United States into the war. Pay the extra feel for the audio tour. You’ll be glad you did.

We only visited the park and grounds since the museum was closed when we drove through Kansas City. It is pretty much a park so it's a good place to stop for a picnic. The tower is of course the centerpiece, worthy enough to visit on its own. The area behind the museum has some nice wall sculptures and fountains. It also offers a good view of the Kansas City skyline, especially with Union Station at foreground.
