Downtown Kansas City Adventures

Did you know that the Hallmark headquarters are in Kansas City? They also built a large mall next door called the Crown Center, which includes two large hotels, a ton of upscale shopping, all kinds of restaurants, and a covered walkway over to the train station. We spent the day with the kids and my family visiting the Hallmark Visitor's Center, the Crown Center and the Train Station, which has a Science Museum inside.
