Chocolate: the Exhibition at Union Station



Union Station's Chocolate Exhibit runs through January 3rd at Kansas City's Union Station. There's a wonderful multimedia exhibit on the history of chocolate from Chicago's Field Museum, and if you click that link you can experience some of it online. Share the interactive online activities with your kids.

Science City at Union Station is a great place for kids, too, and they're having chocolate science demonstrations every Saturday at the Periodic Table. Do a little chemistry and practice the scientific method and science process skills. Download the PDF Educator's Guide and check out our post on Chocolate as a Classroom Theme for more ideas.

No kids? There are wine and chocolate tastings, chocolate and vodka tastings for the hardcore, and just plain chocolate too.
