One not-to-miss destination for Kansas City family fun this holiday season is Union Station. Here's a rundown of just a few of the activities they've got for your kiddos this holiday season. And best of all, they're FREE!
- Kansas City Southern's Holiday Express
Back for its 12th annual run, the Kansas City Southern Holiday Express train brings Santa Claus and his elves back to Union Station. The KCS Holiday Express is unlike any other train in the world, with its smiling engine “Rudy”, gingerbread boxcar, flatcar carrying Santa's sleigh, reindeer and a miniature village, snow covered stall filled with model train displays, the elves’ workshop and even a little red caboose. Visit Santa, the train lover way, this holiday season!
This is a free event but reservations are suggested.
