Kansas City's most celebrated destination for civic, entertainment and cultural activities, with over 100 years of iconic history and year-round attractions for all ages. All of these phrases and more are regularly used to describe Union Station. Visitors of all ages, from all places and for all reasons tie Union Station to special and magical moments from their lives. Union Station draws tourists

from all over the world who marvel at her Grand Hall's 95-foot ceiling, three 3,500-pound chandeliers and the six-foot wide clock hanging in her central arch. She wakes up early and stays up late to host business meetings, civic events, weddings and celebrations of all sorts. Just as you could 100 years ago, you can still catch the train at Union Station's AMTRAK stop and head out across the country. You'll also find traveling exhibits produced by the Smithsonian, National Geographic and other international organizations, a Planetarium, an interactive science center Science City, and a vibrant Theater District featuring the region's biggest movie screen, live theatre, and so much more. The Station is also home to two of KC's finest restaurants, Harvey's and Pierponts, as well as Parisi Artisan Coffee, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Rally House, and the Science City Store. There's so much for the entire family to SEE and DO! To plan your visit and learn about our attractions and touring exhibitions >> https://unionstation.org/

As our community celebrates this weekend at Kansas City Irish Fest, Union Station was illuminated last night in the colors of the Irish Tricolor and tonight in Shamrock Green. 🇮🇪☘️

We celebrate our Irish community and the vibrancy it has long brought and continues to bring to our city, and remember their immeasurable contributions, including to Kansas City's railroad history and the building of Union Station itself.
