WORLD WAR I MEMORIAL MUSEUM AND MONUMENT Website: www.theworldwar.org Location: 100 W 26th, Kansas City, MO 64108 Distance: 22 miles A national historic landmark, the World War I Museum and Memorial is a Kansas City treasure. The Liberty Memorial Tower soars more than 200 feet above the Memorial Courtyard, and the observation deck offers spectacular views of the city (elevator ride, followed by 45 stairs). You’ll enter the exhibit space by crossing a glass bridge that spans a field of 9,000 red poppies, and that’s just the beginning of this incredible museum experience.
THE RIVER MARKET DISTRICT Website: www.kcrivermarket.com Location: 20 E 5th Street, Kansas City, MO 64105 Distance: 17.8 miles
Established in the mid-1800s, the River Market District is Kansas City’s oldest incorporated district, and home to cozy coffee shops, dining, boutiques, and one of the city’s best-kept secrets—the Arabia Steamboat Museum. The museum showcases thousands of artifacts from a steamboat that sank in the Missouri River in 1856 and was recovered in the late 1980s. On weekends, the River Market hosts one of the region’s largest farmer’s markets. Kansas City’s free streetcar connects the area to other hot-spots like the Power & Light District and the World War I Memorial Museum.

UNION STATION Website: www.unionstation.org Location: 30 West Pershing Road, Kansas City, MO 64108 Distance: 22 miles If you’re interested in experiencing one of Kansas City’s most iconic and historic destinations, you won’t want to miss Union Station. Described as an architectural masterpiece, Union Station was redeveloped in 1999 and welcomed visitors to new shops, restaurants, theaters, exhibits, and Science City, an interactive science center. Union Station is also known for its mafia connections, as it served as the backdrop for one of the most notorious gun battles in the city’s history. The shoot-out involved mafia members Pretty Boy Floyd and Frank Nash, an escapee at the nearby Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. Union Station is located on the streetcar line right across the street from the World War I Memorial. Make a day of it and visit both attractions!
