    Exploration Place was an amazing experience for both children and adults. The museum offers a perfect combination of science, education, and interactive fun in a modern and beautifully designed environment. The exhibits were hands-on, engaging, and thoughtfully organized, making it easy to spend several hours exploring without getting bored. I especially appreciated the variety of exhibits covering space, engineering, aviation, and technology. The building itself was clean, spacious, and professionally maintained throughout the visit. The staff members were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful whenever questions came up. The atmosphere felt energetic, educational, and welcoming for visitors of all ages. This is definitely one of the best family attractions in Wichita and a fantastic place for learning and entertainment.

    WOW!!! if you haven’t been to Exploration Place in a minute you really should pop in and check out their new park splash pad they offer so many things even for big kids and grown-ups huge shaded area for having picnics. Restrooms. It’s very clean and inviting a lot of room to run around doesn’t feel crowded.

    So much fun. We went as a family (6 adults and 2 teenagers and a 7 yr old) everyone had a good time. The titanic mission was fantastic. All the "kids", even the ones over 30, learned something new, found exhibits and experiments of interest. The younger "kids" had a great time at the splash pad. The laser show was a little much for some members of our party, but I would still 100% recommend it. As an added bonus our membership with Arizona Science museum is a reciprocal partner, so the only tickets we had to purchase were for family members that weren't members. 10 out of 10 highly recommend for kids of all ages

    We are so excited about the addition of the outdoor play scape. It’s a beautiful area and there is so much to do! The water play area is amazing, they even have a water show that goes along to music there. They also have a concession stand! It’s in a nice shaded area with picnic tables. The prices are not bad, about $7 for a kids meal and they have sandwiches, pizza, wraps, ice cream too.

    Super fun experience and love the new outdoor playground. Lots of great features and loved the padded ground under all the swings and slides. Great variety of features for all different ages and skill levels. Well maintained and clean. We had lunch at the outdoor snack bar and were pleasantly surprised at the food quality. Lots of great experiences and educational displays inside too.
