Decided to take my kids to Exploration Place today! It’s our Children’s museum here in Wichita, KS and we love it! The rotating exhibits make it so there is always something new to see. And one of the perks of homeschooling is that we get to come when everyone else is in school 😉 #explorationplace #wichita #childrensmuseum #wichitakansas #toys #exhibit #classictoys #homeschool #homeschoollife

I grew up around here and I always had have had a love for the exploration place. So when visiting with my son for the first time I made it the first place we would go to. It's still awesome. For four adults and one child I spent just under eighty dollars. They always have cycling exhibits and at the time of visitation it was the holloween event. They had alot of projection games on the walls and floors that were like Snake or an original body movement game. On one wall they had a zombie game where you throw dodge balls to hit them. It was a blast. As you go through the other areas you learn alot. There is a tiny arcade with arcade machines that require no payment but are health themed. It's cute. Another area teaches of Kansas and engineering. Big aircraft portion. But I love the midevil and fantasy section. They have a catapult that your kid can fire little plastic balls. The catapult is up high and secured to where your child can send rounds without the concern of then hurting someone. The indoor playground is incredible. I wish I had more pictures but I added one of the crawlspace and the little windows they put in. It's a kids world there. I never remembered the little city with the model train and added a video of a section of it. But I would say seeing it in person is so fun!! If you haven't brought your kids here you should!!!!
