Just for Kids
Kansas City is a children’s land of enchantment with acres of parks, playgrounds, zoo and special attractions geared just for their interests. Kids love Hallmark Cards’ Crown Center and their free art sessions at Kaleidoscope. The Toy & Miniature Museum offers an amazing collection of antique dolls, trains and fantastically detailed miniatures that’s sure to impress. Attend puppet shows and workshops at Paul Mesner Puppets or the Puppetry Arts Institute. Magnificently restored Union Station, the second largest working train station in the country, houses a children’s science museum, theater district, restaurants and the KC Rail Experience. And that's just beginning of the options for fun!
