I went with my daughter, son in law and granddaughter on a Sunday afternoon. That was our first mistake. It was overrun with children whose parents sat at various areas and allowed their them to run screaming from one exhibit to another, removing items from displays, etc. We were very disappointed in the state of some of the exhibits, and...

This was a nice surprise! My son and daughter-in-law found out about this place while we were in Wichita for a conference. It is made for kids to interact, but adults will find it stimulating and fun also. There are numerous hands on and interactive exhibits. It's great not to have to tell the kids "no touch!" It makes learning... More

so much to do it was so nice to see all the science that goes on in your everyday life. Nice history of Wichita too. the northern light exebit was wonderful to watch. Going back to see the Dinosar thing next time in town

A must see and do if you have kids and are looking for an entertaining day. Our kids loved every aspect of this venue. Very entertaining and diverse. Get there early to avoid crowds. The Boeing Theatre with a 60 foot screen is also a MUST DO. Hand sanitizer stations everywhere (nice touch) Only thing lacking in this venue is... More

While visiting family in the area, we decided to check out the Exploration Place in Wichita. It had a special exhibit about animation my dad was interested in. My 9 year old daughter absolutely adored the multi-level medieval castle, so we had to go through it twice. The catapult is a special hit with the kids. I found the animation... More

It's set up for kids, ostensibly, but I've never met an adult who didn't have a blast here. Great for the kinesthetic types like myself. Very hands-on illustrations of scientific principles, big minature-train diorama, and massive castle-like "treehouse"-style playhouses to illustrate the medieval dwellings. Also a very impressive flight-themed room (of course - it's Wichita!) with flight simulators and other... More

Exploration place is a science museum located in the museum district on the river in the center of Wichita. Kids love it!! Lots of hands on exhibits, esp. about airplanes and flight. There is a section on the Great Plains, with a "river" children can re-arrange to see how the flow of water can change and a "tornado" they can... More

Even in our 20s, my girlfriend and I had an awesome time. Don't miss the dome show. We saw the weather on other planets show and it didn't disappoint.

I am an adult who has been here twice and both times it was quite expensive and terribly boring with no customer service what so ever!!! I have spoken with friends with small children,thinking I didn't enjoy it because I'm not a kid lol,but most friends say it's over priced and they would not take their kids again!!!! Lower your...
