Explore the Interactive World of Eye Spy: Kansas City’s Science City’s Newest Exhibit

Kansas City’s Science City recently unveiled a new interactive exhibit called Eye Spy, offering 2,000 square feet of immersive activities for families and kids to enjoy. The exhibit replaces the previous Mister E Hotel and features custom hand-painted and spray-painted murals with hidden illusions that relate to Science City and its legacy in the city.

One of the highlights of the exhibit is a “never-before-seen, custom curated video technology” called the “Travelvator,” which virtually takes visitors around the outside of the station. Visitors can explore five categories of rooms: color, nature, art, technology, and perspective.

In the color room, visitors are greeted with 256 colors and patterns to stimulate their senses. The nature room features illusions of firefly forests and elephant stampedes. The art room is filled with mind-twisting visuals that lead to a giant kaleidoscope. The technology room allows guests to virtually journey through Union Station and downtown Kansas City with the Travelvator. In the perspective room, visitors can explore how illusions can shift their view of the world around them.

Admission to the Eye Spy exhibit is $16.50 for adults, while children 12 months and under are admitted free as well as Union Station members. For more information on this unique exhibit visit unionstation.org
