Thank you to TBEX Summit America Sponsors and hosts of our Opening Night Party in Wichita, Exploration Place.
Exploration Place is where innovation meets imagination. Located on Wichita’s riverfront, our science center delivers world-class experiences that surprise and inspire visitors from across the globe.
Why Exploration Place is Unique
As Kansas’ premier science and discovery center, we bring together hands-on exhibits, live science shows and the state’s largest Dome theater to spark curiosity for all ages. Soon, we’ll expand with a six-acre destination playscape — an outdoor adventure unlike anything in the Midwest. It’s an investment that reflects both our growth and our passion for creating unforgettable experiences for families, travelers and locals alike.
Hidden Gems and Lasting Impressions
Exploration Place is full of experiences that surprise and delight. Guests can climb into the cockpit of a real business jet in our aviation gallery, watch model trains weave through a miniature Kansas town in Kansas in Miniature, and step inside the 60-foot Dome theater for an immersive film that surrounds them with adventure. Families love discovering the secrets of Kansas wildlife, tinkering with hands-on engineering challenges and watching science come alive during our live shows. Each space is designed to spark curiosity and create moments visitors can’t help but share.
Standing Out in the Travel Landscape
In today’s competitive travel market, Exploration Place stands out because we combine innovation with accessibility. We make science fun, immersive and approachable — creating experiences that are both educational and entertaining. For travelers, this means it’s more than a stop along the way. We’re a destination worth planning for!
Collaborating with Content Creators
We know the power of authentic voices. Partnerships with content creators have helped us reach new audiences and showcase Exploration Place in ways traditional marketing cannot. Whether highlighting one of our signature festivals or sharing family experiences inside our exhibits, these collaborations give travelers around the world reasons to add Wichita to their list.
