Exploration Place presents another exciting interactive Dome experience: Food & Film with The Lord of the Tings. I love attending their screenings or special events in the Dome theater. You never know what surprises Exploration Place has in store to enhance your dome experience, but they’re always entertaining.
The Dome Theater at Exploration Place features advanced projection and sound systems, delivering a stunning visual and auditory experience. The dome screen wraps around the audience, creating a fully immersive environment.
Food & Film at Exploration Place
Exploration Place’s Dome Theater is a must-visit for anyone in Wichita looking for an extraordinary cinematic experience. Whether you’re watching an educational documentary or participating in an interactive movie night, the Dome Theater promises a memorable and engaging outing for all.
About This Event:
Exploration Place is taking movie night to a whole new level with Food & Film, an immersive experience combining a movie on the giant Dome screen with a themed multi-course meal.
On August 28 and August 30, 2026, guests can watch The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring while enjoying food inspired by the characters, locations, and memorable moments from the film. As the story unfolds across Middle-earth, guests will receive prompts letting them know when it’s time to enjoy each specially paired bite or course.
This is definitely not your typical dinner and a movie. The food becomes part of the experience, giving Lord of the Rings fans a completely new way to enjoy the classic film.
Whether you’ve watched Frodo’s journey dozens of times or you’re experiencing it for the first time, gather your fellowship for a feast worthy of the Shire.
