KANSAS CITY, MO. – On Friday, Oct. 3 and Saturday, Oct. 4, the National WWI Museum and Memorial will be open from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and is offering a special all-access discount admission rate of $10.
Access to the grounds on Oct. 3 and 4 is limited due to a large event rental/concert. Museum and Memorial guests should plan to park offsite or take the KC Streetcar to Union Station.
Guests should use the checkpoint at the intersection of Kessler and Pershing to walk up Kessler to the Museum and Memorial entrance. A Golf Cart relay will take place at the corner of Kessler and Pershing with priority given to visitors of the Museum and Memorial needing ADA access.
This past May, the Museum and Memorial completed a multi-year upgrade, the most expansive changes to the buildings and grounds since opening in 2006. Guests will be able to see these changes, that not only involve upgrades in technology to tell new and interesting narratives from WWI, but create a richer and more immersive visitor experience.
More information about the Museum and Memorial can be found at theworldwar.org.
