So, three days worth of toys and miniatures for just a 5 dollar admission. When coming to Kansas City definitely give this place a visit. It is located on the campus of University of Missouri at kansas City which has a beautiful campus, You’re walking distance to the Nelson Art Gallery (which we covered last month) and that museum is free, so you’ve got a whole day’s entertainment.

As always would love your comments
