Experience Wichita's premier science and technology center with a private curator-led journey through its world-class dome theater and hands-on galleries — science, aviation, and Kansas culture collide in spectacular fashion.
What to expect
Your private curator begins with a 45-minute behind-the-scenes orientation, revealing the engineering and storytelling craft behind the exhibits. The immersive dome experience — a jaw-dropping 70-foot wraparound screen — presents stunning Kansas landscapes and cosmic journeys in full surround. Hands-on aviation galleries pay homage to Wichita's legacy as the 'Air Capital of the World.' The pace is leisurely and entirely guest-directed.
