Science City at Union Station

Science City at Union Station is an interactive science museum in Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri, created as part of the station’s larger revival. Designed for families, it features traveling exhibitions, more than 120 hands-on displays, the Arvin Gottlieb Planetarium, and the City Extreme Screen theatre. The museum became the centerpiece of the 1997 bi-state renovation plan after an earlier redevelopment effort failed and the station closed briefly. Opening in November 1999, it helped give the historic building a new public role focused on education and entertainment and transformed Union Station into an active civic destination.
