8. Union Station

DOWNTOWN.   Originally the rail terminal for 12 main lines and 30 subsidiary lines, this circa-1914 building was renovated in 1997 as a $188 million entertainment center. The gorgeous facility was treated to an historically accurate restoration and now shines with dramatic turn-of-the-century architecture. Other station attractions include an interactive children's science center, shops and restaurants, an exhibit on KC's railroad history, movie screens, a live theater stage, and even the return of railroad service, thanks to Amtrak. In addition, a covered walkway connects Union Station to Crown Center (a retail venue) and the Hyatt Regency.   (© 10Best)

Worth visiting More shops than anything. We were expecting more than that. The food at the diner was pretty good. We loved Science City, not huge but just the right size to get through all the exhibits before the kids got worn out.
