Typical hands-on children's museum. It has a nice aviation section where you can fly a plane simulator. They have a large castle/imaginery area. We stayed only a couple of hours. I've been to better children's museums. more

Hate the drive to Wichita, but would go again tomorrow for Exploration Place. The exhibits were cool. I liked them and even though alot were aimed for younger kids my 15 and 12 year old really enjoyed it. The best thing by far was the Cyberdome theater. We saw the stars of the pharoahs and the Pink Floyd light show.... more
