Measuring an astonishing 27,000 square feet under 95-foot historic plaster ceilings, this immersive holiday paradise features tens of thousands of twinkling LED lights, towering ornamented evergreen trees, oversized walk-in gift boxes, illuminated mirrored displays, and larger-than-life festive holiday characters. Children are captivated by the intricate model train exhibits winding through whimsical miniature villages, as well as the beloved historic mini-train ride that lets little ones chug happily around the perimeter of the glowing display. Families visiting over Thanksgiving weekend can take advantage of countless professional-grade photo opportunities, browse seasonal artisan kiosks, and soak up the historic grandeur of Kansas City's 1914 beaux-arts rail terminal without worrying about brisk late-autumn wind or chilly temperatures.
