Audio Tours
If Union Station's walls could talk...
You want to hear what they would say? Just take an audio tour
through the Station and learn all about the stories behind so
much rich history. The walls come alive Friday, December 12, 2003,
when the Station begins offering these unique tours that enable
you to serve as your own guide.
You set the pace. You see all that you want to see – in the
order you want to see it. And it’s really as simple as 1-2-3.
1. Go to Union Station ticketing and request an audio tour.
2. Follow the map and digital audio “wand.”
3. Press the numbers on the wand corresponding with the various
points of interest you encounter.
And enjoy a trip back in time. From the Station’s grandiose
opening in 1914, through both World Wars and the notorious Union
Station Massacre. To the daily hustle and bustle, as thousands
of passengers flow through the Station, answering the call, “All
aboard!” To the remarkable renovation effort to restore the
Station to its original glory.
Union Station is more than an architectural landmark. It is a
historical treasure chest – filled with vivid, fascinating
stories. Relive those stories as you tour the Station. Each nook
and cranny has a tale to tell – a tale you’ll want to
hear.
