Exploration Place has hands-on exhibits exploring flight, medieval life and Kansas. This little Critter was outside the building and just said take my picture.
We saw quite a few displays explaining different insects, like this one on Bees.
We went on a simulated flight into space, the entrance is the circle to the left
I tried to take some pictures on our flight into space, this one shows how dark it is in space.
Here space stuff is flying by
This object was part of a wind demonstration, you could turn a wheel and watch the effects wind had on objects on the wall.
There were sereval displays like this one throughout the exhibits, this whole experience was very educational, even to an old geezer like myself.
An example
Another example of medieval life.
What we learned here is Jo does not make a very good pilot, she had a hard time controlling the single engine plane she was flying.
One of the rooms was a depiction of the state of Kansas, it had to be one of the best model displays we have ever seen. A lot of the small objects were working, it was just breathtaking to see.
Could not show the whole map of the state in one photo, so I took a few trying to show the beauty of it.
As you can see they even included the state fair in the display.
One more photo, hope you liked the state display.
There was a show, very similar to an I-Max theater, where they explained and showed stars and planets. Again a very good lesson, I was impressed.
If you are in Wichita with or without children and want a very educational experience go to the Exploration Place, and in the same afternoon you can see the Keeper of the Plains.
