Live music and food trucks on Thursdays at Exploration Place

Sharing is caring!

Fun! Food! Keeper of the Plains. Cheap admission price! What more could we ask for? It’s like the ultimate Wichita experience. This summer, Exploration Place will host Food Truck Thursdays in the evenings outside the museum.

Admission to the food trucks and live music is FREE, and they’ll have discounted Exploration Place admission. Museum admission will only be $5 per adult and $3 per child during the Food Truck Thursdays event. This is a good discount and includes all exhibits plus the fun that’s happening outside. Members get in free, of course.

Food and drinks sold separately at individual the food trucks.

Food Truck Thursdays at Exploration Place

Here’s what’s planned! They’ll have live music, games, food trucks onsite, and end the evening with the Keeper of the Plains Ring of Fire lighting. Bring your lawn chairs or blankets – there will be some seating but you will probably be glad you brought your own.

I got this schedule from the Exploration Facebook event page here. Because this is an outdoor event, be sure to check that link in case any weather-related changes have to be made!
