ALLLL ABOARD! JOIN THE WHEELS MUSEUM on a rail trip to Kansas City for a long-weekend get-away. Travel between Albuquerque and Kansas City on Amtrak’s Southwest Chief, passing from New Mexico to Colorado to Kansas and Missouri. Visit museums, enjoy local cuisine and sit back while a local guide shows you the sights of this bustling city. Kansas City has many nicknames; you’ll see several throughout the itinerary below in italics. 
 
Day 1: Saturday, September 21    Depart Albuquerque 
We begin our journey on Amtrak’s Southwest Chief, departing Albuquerque at 11:48am. Settle into your seat and watch the changing scenery out your window as the day turns into night. To pass the time, get acquainted with your fellow travelers who all are supporters of the WHEELS Museum. You are welcome to bring food onboard or purchase food in the train’s Café car; the Diner is only available to passengers in sleepers (roomette or bedroom). 
 
Day 2: Sunday, September 22    Arrive Kansas City-Touring 
Amtrak’s scheduled arrival into Kansas City is 6:52am. Our private motor coach will be waiting for our arrival with our first stop being breakfast, included in your cost. Next, a local guide will come onboard to show us the Gateway to the  West, provide history of the area, fun facts and more.  
After lunch on your own, you have the opportunity to visit a museum. Your choice today is either the Arabia Steamboat  Museum or the World War I Museum & Memorial.  
We will check into our hotel and freshen up for tonight’s included group dinner. 
 
Day 3: Monday, September 23    Free time-Tour Kansas City-Depart 
Following breakfast at the hotel, the morning is free to enjoy as you wish. Try Kansas City’s free light-rail system to get around the city. Meet back at the hotel after lunch on your own for your afternoon museum visit. Today, choose between the National Museum of Toys & Miniatures or the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (special exhibits are an additional cost).  
Kansas City is known as The BBQ Capital of the World; for your group dinner tonight you’ll have the opportunity to try  some for yourself. After our last group dinner, our local guide will rejoin us as we drive around the City of Fountains to  see many of the fountains illuminated. 
The time has come to say goodbye to KC. You’ll be taken to Union Station to await the arrival of Amtrak’s Southwest Chief to return you back to Albuquerque; your scheduled departure is 10:42pm. 
 
Day 4: Tuesday, September 24    Arrive Albuquerque 
Reminisce with new and old friends about your trip to the Heart of America, Kansas City. We hope you have many good memories of your time away. Amtrak is scheduled to arrive Albuquerque at 3:29pm.  Thank you for supporting the WHEELS Museum on this journey.
