Arabia Steamboat Museum

I was very impressed with this museum . David Hawley, one of the original diggers of the Steamboat Arabia, was even there to answer questions during my visit.

I admire the dedication of this family to this project, they've retrieved an amazing collection of objects which are so beautifully displayed in this museum !

This place is located under the City Market and is a great museum !! When their restoration team is working in the lab they have pretty cool samples/demos and are very friendly !

Well worth a visit. A very interesting museum - I can't believe that they found all these artifacts in mint condition after 130+ years.

it has been 15+ years since I have been here. Definitely visit if you have not attended for a while. The walking tour , which I did not recall from the past, and the displays are top-rate.

Kansas City's best kept secret. You gotta see this place. The history is amazing!

Don’t overlook this place! One of the best looks at 1856 Americana you’ll find anywhere. Not even the Smithsonian comes close to what’s on display here.

Very interesting, the tour guide was wonderful and full of information. Well worth your time.

The Steamboat Arabia Museum is located in City Market . For family dining near the museum , try Cascone's, Winslow's Bar-B-Q, or Bo Ling's. Stop by Planter's to buy great spices, mixes, and candy !

Don't let tacky gift shop & food court put you off. it's worth every nickel of admission. Tour guide was superb and take time to listen to the preservation specialist. Fascinating!!!!

Located in the historic City Market , with the best selection of global dining options in Kansas City.

Founders of the Steamboat Arabia Museum used Army Corps of Engineer records to locate the sunken ship. You can search the Corps records, too to find your buried treasure! Read more

Take the time to chat with the lab technician. Very knowledgeable and engaging.

Sample the scent of the 1800's at the gift shop where a reproduction of the French perfume found onboard the Arabia is available for purchase.

OMG! You’ll never guess what they named the mule!

New sites for me. Old memories for mom.

Everything

Awesome staff are knowledgeable and energetic. Really enjoyed our tour !
