Why you should go…

Hallmark built this 85-acre campus next to its world headquarters, and it has grown into Kansas City's family hub. Under one roof-ish complex you'll find SEA LIFE Aquarium, LEGOLAND Discovery Center, the Coterie children's theatre, Kaleidoscope, a free art-making space for kids, and the Hallmark Visitors Center. Trains circle overhead at Fritz's Railroad Restaurant, the outdoor Ice Terrace runs November through March, and an elevated walkway links the whole thing to Union Station.
