Kansas City Union Station, a grand Beaux-Arts building opened in 1914, once served as a bustling railroad terminal and today is a dynamic civic space. Visitors can explore Science City, an interactive science center with hands-on exhibits, catch a film in the Regnier Extreme Screen Theatre, or browse the shops and eateries within the soaring Grand Hall. The station also remains an active Amtrak stop, connecting Kansas City to other cities. Its restored architecture, including the 95-foot-tall ceiling and massive clock, makes it a landmark worth admiring.
