We hope they come to explore with us again soon
“We loved having Elijah and his family visit Exploration Place on their visit to Wichita. They were a joy
to have on-site and had great communication before, during, and after their visit.
The photos and recap they shared of their visit showed a comprehensive picture of what it’s like to be a first time guest exploring the museum. I especially appreciated the point of view of visiting our hands-on museum with someone in a wheelchair.
This is a question that we get often and it’s nice to let Amy speak on behalf of her family and share her authentic experience, as well as Elijah’s. We hope they
come to explore with us again soon!”
