Built in 1914, this Kansas City landmark is home to a permanent rail exhibit with vintage rail cars, an interactive science center, a vibrant Theater District featuring giant-screen movies and live theater, fine restaurants, spaces for meetings and events and much more. Of course, you can still catch the train at Union Station, once again among Amtrak's busiest stops. All of the light fixtures are original as well as the clock and floors. The windows in front are 8 stories high. During WWII over 50% of the soldiers went through Union Station, the 2nd largest train station in the nation.
