Top level of historic Union Station
"There are a lot of art galleries in Kansas City but none quite like Graffiti Attic in Union Station. It was an idea born in the middle of a pandemic that invited local artists to come paint whatever they wanted to paint on. Since then, the space has become an artist commune of street artists from all over the city sharing knowledge and techniques with one another. Graffiti Attic is only open to the public on the First Friday of each month from 2:00pm – 9:00pm and offers free admission."

Here your mini warriors can conquer obstacles, show gravity who’s boss, and have a blast seven days a week."
