The Exploration Place is a science museum and discovery center located in Wichita, Kansas. It opened in 2000, consolidating the Wichita Omnisphere and Science Center and the Children’s Museum of Wichita. The building, named the “Island Building”, is surrounded by water since it is constructed beside the Arkansas River.
Among its attractions, it features the 60-foot-high, 360-degree digital screen in the Boeing Dome Theater and Planetarium, Kansas largest dome theater, as well as live science shows in the Kemper Creative Learning Studio, a 150-seat thea-ter that offers an interactive and exciting approach to science and is equipped with an amazing sound system, audiovisual equipment, and stage lighting.
