Science City at Union Station, Science museum in Kansas City, US

Science City is a science museum in Kansas City housed within the historic Union Station building across three levels. The space features over 300 interactive stations where visitors can test scientific concepts and learn through hands-on activities.

The museum opened in 1999 when the historic Union Station building underwent a major renovation. This transformation turned the space into a key educational center for the wider region.

The facility runs school programs and workshops that help young people understand science through hands-on experimentation and discovery. You'll often see student groups working at stations throughout the building, engaged in learning together.

The museum is located at 30 West Pershing Road and includes an on-site planetarium. You can purchase tickets online in advance and make group reservations ahead of your visit.

The Sky Bike exhibit lets visitors test physics principles while riding a bicycle suspended on a wire high above the ground. This experience combines movement with hands-on learning in a memorable way.
