For generations of school kids who rode buses to the Kansas City Museum, the most memorable part of the field trip, at least up until the early 1980s, might have been the full-sized igloo - you could climb in and out of it.

They have already been hosting some events there. Saw a lot of Johnson county plates parked all along wabash etc a couple of times already.
