One of Kansas City’s most respected museums is the National World War I Museum and Memorial. After exploring the galleries, you may take a tour to the top of the tower for breathtaking views of the city’s skyline. One of the most notable landmarks you’ll see is Union Station, home to Kansas City’s Science City that boasts loads of hands-on science exhibits, and the Gottlieb Planetarium, one of the largest 360-degree domed screens in the Midwest. Nearby, make a stop at the Money Museum, a free museum where visitors leave with a souvenir bag of shredded cash. While you’re downtown, take a ride on the KC Streetcar to help you explore the area.
