ShannonAlbert.com - June 2009

Wichita has a great museum called Exploration Place which has quickly become one of our favorite places to go. It's big, modern, located right on the river and has great exhibits. They have a reciprocity agreement with the museum we already belong to in Fort Worth so we get in free. These pics are from two different visits but since Blake's in the same clothes in both (living out of suitcases will do that to you!), we'll just pretend it's the same day.

Climbing the stairs on the castle...


Riding the mini-coaster...


Kansas section...




Stream table w/fake sand to test water flow...





The flight room. Really beautiful how the metal pieces on the wall move...




Glider simulator in the flight room...




Kansas in Miniature Room. Whole room of a mini version of Kansas. There are the tiniest moving parts and a train that runs through it.
