This is THE national museum to World War I, not just some little thing KC put together. It's an incredible experience that you should not miss out on. Plan on 3 hours minimum and worth every second.Upvoted Mar 27
Hailey DunneJanuary 19, 2013Beautifully designed and curated museum. Interactive exhibits, personal details, and powerful film experience. Nice work KC. 1/2 price admission on all national holiday Mondays.
Devin DuhonNovember 6, 2012Best museum I've been to in a long time. Leave plenty of time to go through everything - it had been 4 hours before I knew it! Extremely well done and informative.
Josh AApril 14, 2017The officially recognized national WW1 museum. Well laid out and interesting info. If you hurry can see it all in about an hour. The video is helpful for context. Good collection of weapons.
Aaron LimAugust 1, 2015Buying tix to museum also includes tix to go up memorial tower. ASK 4 STUDENT DISCOUNT (student ID req'd). LOVED THE MUSEUM! Spent 3 hours walking around and reading all the interesting things.
David PittsOctober 27, 2015Incredible amount of information. The ticket is good for two days and I would suggest availing yourself of both to avoid complete mental overload. Dozens of pristine artifacts, well worth the price
Theresa O'LearyAugust 10, 2018This is a must see. Not only is it the National Memorial and Museum for WWI, the museum is extremely well done. You can spend hours learning and going back in time.- Mary Kate KeapplerOctober 11, 2014Worth the money! $12 student ticket. Interactive exhibits, films and really friendly staff.
Paul NewmanApril 11, 2013A stunning museum, truly world class. The objects are displayed beautifully and to their most affect. Also the layout and chronological flow of the museum is wonderful and powerful.- DanielleOctober 20, 2015Wonderful museum. Interactive and stimulating, but respectful and true to the history. A gem of Kansas City.
- Terri DactylJanuary 17, 2014The National WWI Museum is an amazing interactive experience. I'm completely blown away by the level of detail and attention to creating an immersive history lesson.
Jack Wallace-DemareeNovember 29, 2016A most wonderful experience. Relaying WWI and WWI technology/tactics in all its reality. Weapons, Maps and dioramas. The gift shop was good as was the snack shop.
Tom Van FleetJuly 6, 2020Take advantage of a sunset and the opportunity to pay your respects to those who have given their lives for our freedom. Happens for a week each June!
Jeannette W.April 10, 2013I can see why this museum ends up #1 on several travel surveys of must see attractions in KC, totally worth seeing!
Michael LosselyoungNovember 5, 2023Great Experience, loved the timeline walls, the interactive portions, and the physical reminders of what war was like at that time.
Erik RowleyDecember 28, 2015A fascinating journey through a devastating event in history. The Great War ripped Europe apart, defined the horrors of modern warfare, & set the stage for the rise of Fascism.
Ray OMarch 31, 2017The display is well done. Lots of artifacts. The monument above has quite a view.
Tina BlackburnSeptember 2, 2012AMAZING! history and displays are incredible. Make sure to plan on spending 3 hours. Admission for 2 adults and 2 under 17 was $44 Wednesdays $8 per person admission
Christian FroudeOctober 7, 2014This is a great museum. Currently the tower is closed for repair. Your ticket is good for two visits, which is great because I wasn't able to take it all in on my first trip.
Ashley HoweJuly 10, 2015This I a great museum to visit. The volunteers are veterans and are very knowledgeable.
jayMay 21, 2013Not just your average museum. Thid place is a top notch multi million dollar display. Well worth the entrance fee to keep this running for future generations.
Katie EdwardsNovember 26, 2013Awesome awesome awesome! If you haven't been, you need to go! And make sure to go to the top of the liberty memorial!!!
Kansas CitySeptember 28, 2012The National WWI Museum at Liberty Memorial shares deeply personal stories of courage, honor, patriotism and sacrifice. Through thousands of historical objects, photographs and eyewitness accounts

Samir NazirMay 21, 2018I wish there was more information about the events and general conditions that led to the alliances that fought against each other in WW1
Rachel FlavinAugust 12, 2016While the inside is stroller friendly, the walk there from Crown Center is anything but.
Angie PiercyApril 8, 2013We tried to push a stroller here from the Westin - almost impossible! However, you really will want that stroller inside the museum...
