 Union Station Interior by cheap_tourist
It has lots of shops and restaurants now. It also has theatres for films and live performances. The Science City is located there. My favorite is the free exhibit on the history of the Union Station. The entrance to this exhibit is between the Amtrak ticket counter and a souvenir store. Yup! This is still a true train station that services Amtrak trains.
From the Union Station, you can walk to the Liberty Memorial and the Crown Centre, a first-class mall. "The Link" to the Crown Centre is an elevated and enclosed walkway that provides protection from bad weather. Leave a Comment Address: 30 W. Pershing RoadPhone: (816)460-2020Directions: It's at the corner of Pershing Road and Main Street.Website: www.unionstation.org

It is a renovated and completely redone station in 1999 that was back form the 1920's era. That took $250 million to restore. Now it needs more money to survive and stay open. They offer a Science Museum inside. However, once you see it, it is not worth another return since the exhibits do not change. Money and brains do not mix when it comes to the public figures trying to do something right for the community. Exhibits are scant and every one loses money in featuring. The building is the site to see, and that is free to go inside. Large-huge cavern of the inside and the ceilings are maybe 95 feet high. It was finished in 1914, and has 850,000 Square feet. It was used extensively during WWII, and 1 million people came through.

 Union Station by asturnutLeave a Comment Address: 30 W Pershing RdPhone: 816.460.2020Directions: Very easy to find off of interstates 35, 169 and 29. KC is a difficult city to navigate but we had no trouble finding this place. See website for specific directions.Website: http://www.unionstation.org/intro.cfm

This is a cavernous hall that used to be the main waiting station inside. At one time in WWII there were 1 million that came thought this station to various points. It has 850,000 square feet and used to also have 850 rooms to stay plus a waiting area to seat 10,000. Now the alternative feture is Science City; a presentation of odd science displays. Once you seen it that is all you need to not come back.
They still do have an Amtrak next door that you can connect to. There are a couple of shops that sell goodies, like chocolate, and souvenirs. Everything is closed after 5PM, so it really gets dark in there; like a sarcophogus since all is made of huge limestone blocks inside and outside.
