Let's take a walk through Union Station to find out more. The formal front plaza to Union Station will be landscaped in keeping with the original plans from 1914. Existing parking will be shifted below the plaza and to the west of the station. This is the stunning point of entry for visitors. It is FREE to the public and fully restored, including the magnificent ornate ceiling 95 feet overhead, and the glistening chandeliers.
Visitors stroll, dine and shop just as they did in the station's hey-day.
Here's where the city will celebrate the turn of the century at a magnificent New Year's Eve party to ring in the year 2000. The Park is the orientation center for the Science City experience. Planning is being done in coordination with area transportation authorities. Plans for the station are taking into account the potential for light rail, commuter rail and excursion trains which may someday bring workers and tourists to Union Station and other nearby facilities. Parking for Science City visitors will be free.
