In Short Exhibits here detail the history of the building itself or the Red Cross canteen that was here during WW I. The station is also now host to a popular children's science museum Science City, movie and live theaters, shops and restaurants.

Kids and parents liked it. I figured it to be the same old thing we've taken the family to, but it wasn't at all. Plenty of things to keep everyone happy. Even a little playground and mini-golf course, among other things.

Our Girl Scout troop went to the Science Center located in Union Station a few years ago. We were able to reserve the entire Science Center just for the girls for two days and we were able to spend the night in the center. Some girls slept in caves, others slept in the sewer drains and holes. This was a very fun trip for the kids
