Kansas City Museum Guide 🖼️
I visited three museums in Kansas City during spring break! Here’s a detailed guide for your reference: 1. National WWI Museum and Memorial 🎫 Ticket: $21 ($18 for museum + $3 for tower access) ⏰ Hours: 10 AM - 5 PM (Closed Mondays) ⏳ Recommended Duration: 2 hours 📝 Tips: Staff are super friendly! Recommended route: Start by taking the elevator to the tower top for a panoramic city view, then explore the museum. Don’t miss the short introductory film 🎞️—it sets the context perfectly! 2. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art 🎫 Ticket: Free! ⏰ Hours: 10 AM - 5 PM (Closed Tuesdays & Wednesdays) ⏳ Recommended Duration: 2-3 hours 📝 Tips: Scan your online reservation code at the entrance kiosk to print a wristband. The collection is incredibly diverse—from ancient Asian art to modern masterpieces. The Water-Moon Guanyin statue in the temple-style gallery is awe-inspiring 🪷. 3. The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures 🎫 Ticket: $10 ($5 for students) ⏰ Hours: 10 AM - 4 PM (Closed Tuesdays) ⏳ Recommended Duration: 1 hour 📝 Tips: A small but unique museum! The miniatures are unbelievably detailed—some even require microscopes 🔍. The toy collection is nostalgic and adorable 🧸. Magnifying glasses are provided at the entrance for closer inspection! 🌸 Bonus Spots The Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden (Cover Image): Flowers aren’t in full bloom yet, but it’ll be gorgeous soon! Hen House Market Try the pink pineapple 🍍—it’s sweeter than the yellow one! Get a free membership card at checkout for discounts.
