Hallmark Visitor Center and Museum-Kansas City
We made several stops while in Kansas City. I have mentioned that we were very impressed.
I was particularly impressed with the class shown by Hallmark, and I wanted to put up a separate blog entry about their visitor center.
We walked in around opening time. In fact, we got there a few minutes early, by our watches, but the very sweet lady watching the desk came and opened the doors.
She enthusiastically told us about the company and the visitor center when we walked through the door. She explained the center and talked about the pride the company was taking in their
100th anniversary.
There were several displays throughout the museum area. I personally enjoyed the old postcards, and seeing some of the other products made by the company.
There is even an area where you can see cards being printed and made. There is a machine where you can make your own gift wrap bow! VERY COOL!
There is a very comfortable theater showing a short film about the company and its artists.
On the way out, our incredible hostess gave us some Hallmark freebies! We left with some postcards and singing cards! The visitor center is admission free, AND they hook you up on the way out!
I would put Hallmark at the top of your "must see" list if you are in the area. The very top.
