Union Station celebrates the art of chocolate

Everyone loves chocolate -- right? That's what the management of Kansas City's Union Station is counting on as it opens Chocolate The Exhibition (the show and the tour were developed by Chicago's Field Museum), a family-friendly educational experience that runs today through January 3 and will lure, hopefully, plenty of ticket-buying tourists through the holiday season. Union Station needs all the successful attractions it can get.

The exhibition is a multi-sensory experience and features the aroma of chocolate wafting through the air in various settings. A variety of tastings are scheduled through the run, including chocolate and wine pairings and chocolate and vodka tastings.

Union Station is also seeking chocolate-loving volunteers to serve as greeters, ticket-takers and exhibition attendants.
