After years of anticipation and waiting, Science City at Union Station officially opened to the public in November 1999.
Science City is an interactive learning experience for young and old alike.
The station also includes fun and fine dining, unique shops and a unique theatre district. Kansas City's role in nurturing the development of jazz is known throughout the world. The Negro National League was founded in 1920 at the former Paseo YMCA, just a block from the museum. The Horace M. Peterson III Visitors Center offers an overview and history of the area and the facility. The Australia section features free roaming kangaroo and emu.
