Great combo tickets for the Jazz museum and the Museum of Negro League baseball. A lot of interactive pieces along the historic timeline of jazz in America. Also, a nice performance by Preston...

I enjoyed this museum-it had a lot of good information, and it was interesting to learn the role Kansas City played in the development of jazz. I only knew New Orleans, New York and Chicago. My only complaint is that there doesn’t seem to be any organization to the museum. Exhibits seem to be randomly placed.

This was a fun experience. There is a lot of listening stations, a replica of an old school jazz room, very fun experience. Wasn't too familiar with jazz so I can't say I knew everything there but I definitely learned a lot !
