Built in 1914, Union Station served as an important link in cross continental travel during the glory days of rail traffic. During it's peak, more than 75,000 trains per year stopped at Union Station.

Today Union Station houses Science City, restaurants, a frozen custard stand, a planetarium, Imax Theater, and the City Center Stage. Only a block from the Westin Crown Center, connected by the Metro Link sky walkway.

In 1933, Kansas City's Union Staion was the site of the Union Station Massacre.
