Tucked back behind a fancy event room was the Model Rail Experience that had about a dozen displays of miniature railway displays including Christmas scenes, Legos and surprisingly more Marvel superheros than one would expect for a number of model train exhibits. It was really neat seeing all the different scenes that they came up with. A free thing to walk through on our way back from a wonderful bar-b-que dinner at Jack Stack's across the train tracks. Even though we only got half a day in Kansas City, it certainly didn't disappoint!

We decided to kill a little time before our next activity of the evening exploring Union Station a bit more and getting a warm beverage while we waited. I had a delicious hot chocolate as it was a bit cooler than we had anticipated it being after the sun had set on our walk back from the WWI Museum across the street. But we warmed up real quick and checked out the gift shop for the science center type thing they had.

Union Station in Kansas City is absolutely gorgeous and had a ton of different things to do and see. I was most impressed by all the holiday decorations and the piano that self-played holiday music throughout the main hall. There were several museums, eateries, and activity areas, including a really neat back room with a number of model train villages several made of Lego! It was definitely the nicest place I've been while waiting for a form of public transportation, that's for sure.
