The Types Of Things Lurking Underground In Kansas City's Caves | KCUR

You'd never find it by just looking around, but beneath the grounds of
Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun is one of the largest systems of
underground businesses in the country.

Deep inside the Hunt Midwest SubTropolis, you can find everything from
a massive
stamp collection
<http://kcur.org/post/giant-stamp-collection-northland-cave> and the
National Archives, to "cave aged" artisanal cheeses

There are even 5K and 10K <https://childrenstlc.org/event/groundhog-run/>
races that take place entirely within the complex.

In fact, the Kansas City metro is home to a wealth of underground spaces
converted from once abandoned limestone mines. In an interview with *Central
Standard* <http://kcur.org/programs/central-standard>'s Gina Kaufmann on
Wednesday, geosciences professor Syed Hasan of the University of
Missouri-Kansas City, said that the quality of local limestone, known as
the Bethany Falls Limestone formation, is what attracted mining operations
in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
