I can imagine school buses lined up daily in front of a natural history museum. the DC NHM draws literally double the foot traffic than the next most popular museum at the mall because that's where the public interest is. anything other than that would be a huge miss

I will start a go fund me for my brilliant idea of the unnatural history museum. It will house all the animals that did not make it onto Noah's ark.

Too bad we don't have any massive, underutilized parks near downtown.

The Kemper Arboretum or the Haverty Family Gardens. It’s just tough driving out to Bucyrus or Kingsville if you want to see something like that near KC. Instead this would give people in Kc a walkable recreation space even in the winter.

Maybe also incorporate space for a cocktail lounge or a yoga studio so it looks like you’re hanging out in the jungle?

OKC has some nice stuff downtown. One thing they have I do envy....

That would be great along the waterfront in Berkley Park - if there is room. Even a scaled down version.

If only these warehouses weren't there on the KS side of the Kaw. This would really tie into the Rock Island bridge and ziplining experience they're putting in over there.
