Built in 1914, Union Station (located at 30 W. Pershing Road) encompasses 850,000 square feet and originally featured 900 rooms. In its prime as a working train station, accommodated tens of thousands of passengers every year.
- Today's Union Station is filled with fine restaurants and unique shops. And just like in 1914, you can catch the train at Union Station's Amtrak stop.
- Union Station also houses the permanent collections and archives for Union Station Kansas City, Inc./Kansas City Museum.
