Kids and teens will enjoy the huge variety of exhibits available at Science City. For younger children, there is a Music Park, dinosaur dig area, echo cave, playground and nature area.
Teens and older kids will enjoy the new exhibit 'Science on a Sphere' where they they program weather patterns, and interact with a huge computerized, rotating globe.
There's also an area to explore health issues, and a house of illusions. Oh yea, and a bike that you can ride across a highwire (suspended high in the air!).
Science City is located in Union Station, which also houses a kids theatre company, indoor planetarium, and toy train area.

Science City is definitely an understated attraction in downtown KC. Located inside Union Station, it could be easy to miss, and I was told it was really a science museum for upper elementary students, but I strongly disagree. It was great for 6 and 3 year old boys with a city-themed atmosphere. Among there favorite things was a musical park, a petting area, digging for dino bones, and a physics room. We didn't get to see everything, but we will be back.
