If you’re looking for an exciting Spring Break Activity in Wichita, Exploration Place needs to be at the top of your list this year. The brand-new Adventure Playscape is opening, and it’s going to be a game-changer for families who want a full day of learning and fun. During Spring Break, Explorations Place will also be open until 8 pm.
Exploration Place is Wichita’s premier science and discovery center, packed with hands-on exhibits focused on aviation, space exploration, Kansas wildlife, paleontology, and more. During Spring Break, families can easily fill an entire day by exploring indoors, then head outdoors to play on the new playscape along the Arkansas River.
Kids can design and test their own aircraft in Design Build Fly, explore detailed landmarks in Kansas in Miniature, catch a live science show, explore the adventure playscape, or watch a Dome movie. There’s truly something for every age, which makes it such an easy yes for families planning a full (and fun) day off, and the best part is that it’s all included with admission.
If you’re planning a staycation in Wichita this Spring Break, this is one stop that checks all the boxes: learning, fresh air, hands-on fun, and enough activities to keep everyone busy.
