tripadvisorIs this place still open? I have called multiple times, left voicemails and sent emails with no response. I was hoping to redeem a Groupon for my wife. It appears they were operating this year, pre-COVID.
MoreThe overall experience was great. I had to call on Friday to reschedule and had no issues getting a hold of someone. We took off our 1 PM and it was very smooth. Definitely recommended.
MoreWe scheduled and paid for a tour with Timberview Helicopters in Kansas City but the pilot never showed up for the tour. We received an email confirmation for our tour which was scheduled for 2:30 PM on Saturday, and we ended up driving over an hour to get to the downtown airport where the tour was supposed to take place. Once we arrived at the airport, we waited around for over 30 minutes but the pilot never showed up. We ended up calling the owner of the company, and he said they don't even have a pilot scheduled to be in Kansas City at all that weekend. The owner said there was also one other helicopter ride scheduled in Kansas City for the same day, but it would not make sense for them to send a pilot from Florida to Kansas City for only two helicopter rides. I agree, but why even schedule rides for a day when there will not be a pilot around to give tours? When we were on the phone with the owner he said he would issue a refund, but it's been nearly a week and we still haven't been able to get ahold of anyone to process the refund. The same lady who was so quick to schedule our tour is not responding to emails or calls when asked about the refund. I would not recommend anyone book through this company. They have outright stolen money from us and they don't seem to have any intention of issuing us a refund for a tour they never provided.
MoreGreat way to start off a night. It's very easy to park and walk right to check in. If you are looking at the VML building, look directly left. It's the last building heading south. Although it's a short 12 miles, it's a great experience. If you have a fun date and want to do something different, surprise him or her with a flight (just tell the you want to take them to the TWA Museum) then go out nearby for dinner and drinks. Very memorable experience and a great way to see KC.
