KANSAS CITY, MO. – The National WWI Museum and Memorial announced a special discount for local residents in celebration of its 100th anniversary. From Aug. 1-Dec. 30, 2026, residents in the seven counties surrounding Kansas City can visit with a special $10 combo ticket, which includes access to the Main Gallery, special exhibition areas and the Tower.
For a century, Kansas Citians have supported the Museum and Memorial, helping it grow from a community memorial into a global institution with the most comprehensive collection of WWI artifacts in the world. That stewardship has preserved the stories of a generation who lived through the war to end all wars, ensuring they are never forgotten. This local offer is one part of the Museum and Memorial's centennial celebration, honoring that generosity and inviting the community to come see firsthand exactly what their stewardship has built.
"For 100 years, this community has shown up for us," said Matthew Naylor, President and CEO of the National WWI Museum and Memorial. "This discount is a small way to thank our neighbors for a century of support."
The $10 combo ticket is available for residents of Johnson, Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties in Kansas and Jackson, Clay, Cass and Platte counties in Missouri. Residents must present proof of residency with valid ID. One ticket per ID, with the exception of minors. This offer is available in-person at the Ticketing Counter only.
