Top Culture in Kansas City

I think getting there around 10 AM is ideal. It’s less crowded, and you get to enjoy the artwork without feeling rushed

Be sure to check out the Museum's schedule for special exhibits or events. I stumbled upon a pop-up exhibit and it was a highlight of my visit!

I recommend checking out their website for any special events before you go. We stumbled upon a cool exhibit that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise!

I think many people miss the beautiful views from the upper levels of the station. Don't forget to take the stairs up to the balcony for some great photos!

Check out the view from the top of the Liberty Memorial tower. It’s a beautiful 360-degree panorama of the city, and it’s a great photo op.

I recommend visiting in the late afternoon, around 4 PM, when the light makes the building look even more stunning. You’ll avoid the big crowds too, which is a total bonus

I recommend checking out the gift shop after your visit; they have some cool memorabilia and you might find unique gifts that aren’t overly pricey.

Try to visit on a weekday if you can; it gets pretty crowded on weekends and you’ll have a better chance to soak in everything without the rush

Plan for about 1.5 to 2 hours for your visit. I rushed through thinking I’d be done in an hour and missed some really fascinating exhibits.

Don’t skip the short film they show at the beginning! It sets the stage for all the incredible history you’re about to learn, so make sure to catch that first.

Definitely buy your tickets online ahead of time! I saved a few bucks and skipped the line when I arrived. It's super easy and totally worth it. Plus, you can get timed tickets to avoid overcrowding.

I was bummed the construction area was a little too crowded when I went, so planning around peak times might help. I recommend checking for busy hours ahead of time or asking staff when it's usually quieter

Bring your own bottled water and snacks if you can. The café prices were a bit high, and having my own snacks helped save some cash during the day. Just makes for a more relaxed experience.

I suggest visiting in the early morning around 8 AM. The light is perfect for photos and there are fewer crowds, so you can really take in the beauty of the fountain.
