- rollnstnKansas City, MO4 contributionsWe went to visit the Museum and were stunned at all the info displayed. The film was great as well! Definitely will return!Written May 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- derrickwg36Colorado Springs, CO3,376 contributionsThis is an amazing art museum. The museum has many great artworks from artist such as Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh. The museum is well laid-out and contains artwork from classic European artist to modern American artists. The museum also has a great sculpture collection. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and eager to assist if you have any questions. Outside of the museum is a great place for a picnic or activities outdoor activities, such as a glass maze. I highly recommend this museum for a day trip.Written May 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Molli MMarysville, OH59 contributionsThis is a hidden gem; the story of the steamboat was interesting and well presented via short videos as well as written word in the display areas. The artifacts were amazing to see and displayed in a very organized presentation; which is great as there is a lot to see!Written April 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jim TAustin, TX945 contributionsUnion Station has been repurposed to hold many different destinations within, including the Planetarium, a movie, a stage, shopping, restaurants, model train exhibits and even some office buildings. There are displays illustrating the Station's history and many things to see and do. The model train display is huge and quite something to see--worth seeking out. There is also a kid's playground right outside, and plenty of parking in the garage across the street.Written April 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jim TAustin, TX945 contributionsWe attended a weekday afternoon game here during opening week. While the park is older, it still shines. The fountains in the outfield are a nice touch. The food options were plentiful and very good. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The Team Store was well stocked and had a nice selection of items, including for the KC Monarchs. The parking lot is HUGE. We had great weather and a lovely day at the ballpark--what more can one ask?Written April 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Rene FSeneca, Kansas39 contributionsFirst time at this zoo. It is very nice. Liked how the kangaroos can hop anywhere in their big area, even though you are walking through there, no fence separates you and them. The zoo is very big. Plan several hours. They are in the process of adding an aquarium. They have a stingray exhibit where you can pet them. Omaha Zoo charges for this, KC it is free. $20 to get in for adults. They have a train that goes through the park, we did not use it. Walked about 5 miles while we were there. We went on a Sunday in March and it was not crowded at all.Written April 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Alyda MWheat Ridge, CO32 contributionsExcellent exhibit and artifacts with complete historical timeline. Lots of news articles and detailed narrative of the experiences, setbacks and triumphs of the players.Written April 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- geothoperRowlett, TX131 contributionsSo fun and enjoyable waking around. I would recommend anytime of year but the lighting ceremony is something to see and experience
It’s very nice but bring $$ The plaza is fun. They keep updating it and making it better. But it is not a cheap area. Bring $$ but worth itWritten May 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - JAS1127Springfield, MO39 contributionsWe are originally from StL and have visited the A-B Brewery there many times. I can honestly say that Boulevard has the most entertaining and educational presentation between the two. We got to sample along the route while we learned about the beer. It was a lot of fun and a great way to spend an afternoon. Highly recommend visiting the gift shop and the beer hall for food afterwards.Written February 28, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- R2149BJdebbietAugusta, KS2 contributionsYou need an employee in the outside area especially when wet outside. We ended up in er with 5 stitches and no paper towels, ice, bandaid. As we tried to exit with so many people in the way. I understand accidents happen but there was no one or anything to help aid in our matterWritten March 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- T J2 contributionsWe took the tour and Ben was great. He was direct and to the point in order to fit as much information into our time. Great history and vibe. We had cocktails and bar bites. The royal gold bourbon was fabulous. Recommend everything about this place.Written April 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- DLNY1New York118 contributionsA museum full of toys, what's not to love about that. Seriously, the toys are displayed in a great way to experience the evolution of toys. They also show how the news and culture of the times influenced the toys children played with.
I knew nothing about miniatures but was very impressed with the displays and information provided.Written May 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Devella S3 contributionsIf you don't have any small kids of your own...grab your niece or your nephew and go experience this! This place oozes creativity and lets you run wild with your imagination! No matter how big you are...once you step foot here, you become one of the creative kids!Written February 26, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Sabine WShawnee, KS203 contributionsBesides a wonderfully eclectic array of stores there are great eateries every where. From Vietnamese to Italian. International grocery stores to flower shops. I was especially impressed by the loose spice stores. The aroma alone was worth the trip there.Written November 7, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- KalNJDelaware139 contributionsWe took a private tour of Arrowhead Stadium, which after weeks all over the mid-west, turned out to be the highlight for our son (14). Our guide, Al, was friendly, and knowledgeable, and made us lifelong fans instead of casual fans. The tour brought us to the suits, the tunnels, a quick look into the locker rooms (under construction at the time), and Mr. Hunt's private apartment.
All ended at the Super Bowl trophy.
Highly recommended!!!Written May 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
