Union Station — Attraction in Kansas City

Today, we were excited to see Holiday Refelctions. We got to Union Station with my 9 year old son, and my 6 year old Autistic son. This was a big outing for him and he started to get upset at 11:30am, and I asked if we could be let in early because I knew he wouldn't last much longer.

I'm from St. Louis, but I'm glad I got a chance to see Union Station Kansas city. St. Louis has it's own Union Station, but the way KC has made use of it is a bit different.
