We were there for a Gymnastics meet at the Crown Center. To cold to walk so we grabbed an Ubber at $8. Great stay. Good location.

The crown center is nicely located in the center of KC, lots of transformational options. There's a sky walk connected the hotel, the crown center and the union station. If you are traveling with children, this is a perfect place to visit, there's a lot of indoor dining options along with activities for their ages.

Hallmark Visitor's Center was very educational. Learned a lot about the history of Hallmark Greeting cards and printing process. The Hallmark Visitor's Center even had guest artists' lecture series, while I visited. Kaleidoscope, is next door and my nephews' enjoyed the art activities and hands-on exhibits. FUN!!
