It was a set up for absentee voters. It was not crowded, we were in and out. Mask were worn, floor marked for 6ft apart waiting. Noticed that they thoroughly wiped down and disinfected after we were done. I appreciate them looking out for our safety.

Went there to vote early. People were very friendly. Was very impressed on the way it was setup, no problems and displayed sensitivity to the Covid situation by being armed with hand sanitizer, masks and the use of stylish pens.

I have lived in Kansas City since 2002 and this is the first time I have visited the Bruce R Watkins Cultural Center. I had no idea that he was such an interesting figure. I am not a Kansas City native so I dont know the history as well as some. Was very impressed by the fact that he was a Tuskegee Airmen. I only had a few minutes to spend. I am definitely planning to go back but I have longer. Clinton at the front desk went above and beyond to make sure that I had a great experience. They have the perfect person working that job. He is very welcoming and informative as well as exceptionally friendly. It shows that he enjoys his job. Very highly recommend for a cultural experience right here in Kansas City!

Interestingly enough, I felt unwelcome when I first went in likewhy would an elderly white womanbe there? When that chill wore offthe guard was conversant.Its an impressive museum and brought back so many memories;especially, when I saw pics ofpeople Id worked with and greatlyrespected such as Julia Hill andAm Brooks.I am encouraging others to visit.

Great center that hosts lots of activities located in Kansas City. Its a beautiful location right next to a river. Inside they often have live music for their events. They also have a lot of beautiful art and displays. The staff is very friendly. The building also seems to be fairly new and well maintained.
