This was a fun (but a bit overpriced) museum -- probably better for visitors to Kansas City rather than for someone who grew up here. Lots of great photos of local barbecue joints, so that was fun. It'd be nice to include more than just the big names in KC barbecue history. More interactive displays would be great, though we did like the 2 coins we received at the tour beginning and the sticker we got at the end. Lots of things to purchase in the gift shop!

It was cute but was geared for kids with general information about BBQ for adults. It would have been nice to have some historic photos and signage with a little more indepth and unique local stories from the different different states.

It’s was lame and not worth $60.00. Just a bunch of bill boards! Have some old fashioned bbq, more history objects.
