We have just purchased our second year of membership to this children's museum. The kids, now 2 and 5, always really enjoy going, begging to go. Some of the exhibits are rather boring, even for older kids (Okay, I looked at it for 30 seconds, now I'm done) For example, the weather station really doesn't have a lot going on, mostly ...
Our Girl Scout troop went to the Science Center located in Union Station a few years ago. We were able to reserve the entire Science Center just for the girls for two days and we were able to spend the night in the center. Some girls slept in caves, others slept in the sewer drains and holes. This was a very fun trip for the kids.
Even before we had a child I've enjoyed going to Science City. My fiance' and I have so much fun...and we still find fun facts to learn. It is multi-leveled, so once you get bored on one floor you have two more to explore. I would recommend Science City to others, though it can be a bit pricey. I believe the last time we went it was around $30.00 for two adults.
My 4 year old son and I live about 125 miles away, but opted for a yearly membership because we enjoy it so much. The staff are so nice and make him feel special and we love the variety of activities.

The authentic and classic design of this train station is what attracted me. The entire building is a work of art. Can't visit this place without visiting the IMAX theatre though.
What an interesting way to spend a few hours. The kids will love it and learn a lot. We especially liked the mystery hotel with the booklet telling you what to look for inside and the scientific reasons that even kids can understand.
great place for children! awsome food! i loved that we could just walk anywhere, around the station and plaza. lots and lots to do. loved all the history about union station. a must to see.
THIS IS A DEFINATE MUST SEE IN KANSAS CITY, IF YOU HAVE KIDS. OUR KIDS OUR 7 AND 9 AND THEY REALLY ENJOYED THEMSELVES. THERE WAS PLENTY TO DO AND IT WAS NOT VERY CROWDED. THE ONLY DRAW BACK IS THAT IT IS CLOSED ON MONDAYS AND TUESDAYS.
