The museum itself was the same and got to spend more time in the science than children's museum section. However, the outdoor playground newly built is amazing.

Rocketship tower that you can climb. Some swings that are totally different than you are used too. Big spiderweb ropes climbing area was amazing too.

Visiting the Frank Lloyd Wright Allen House in Wichita is a rewarding little detour, even if you're…read moreonly taking it in from the sidewalk, since the grounds are private and not open to the public, but you can still see a surprising amount while being respectful of the property. Designed in 1915 for Henry and Elsie Allen, the house is a beautiful example of Wright's Prairie Style, all long horizontal lines, art glass, and a low roofline that settles into the neighborhood in that unmistakable Wright way. They do offer tours, but this random weekday after lunchtime wasn't one of those times, so I just walked the perimeter and appreciated how the geometric detailing and symmetry reveal themselves from different angles, making it absolutely worth a quiet stop.

The gift shop is so little and that is fine but it is difficult to herd the guests and the tour guide we had was really knowledgable.

I wish that the gift store had enamel pins :)

Unfortunately, this…read morepolicy is not clearly communicated anywhere online, which led us to rush over specifically to show the venue to out-of-town guests before the weekend ended. What was most disappointing wasn't the policy itself--it was the complete lack of customer service. The front desk staff seemed entirely unempowered to do anything beyond repeating, "That's our policy," with no effort to offer an explanation, alternative, or even a hint of empathy for the situation. Businesses are free to set whatever policies they choose, but the way those policies are communicated matters. We left feeling that customer experience was an afterthought. The combination of poor communication, inflexibility, and indifferent service turned what should have been a positive visit highlighting Wichita into a frustrating and disappointing experience.

The location is conveniently located by the airport and airport hotels. Upon walking in we were greeted by a very cool dining card wall, coat check, and some history about the building. As soon as we turned the corner we saw the huge B29 sitting in all of its glory in the middle of the space. It was epic. The open bar was located right in front of the nose of the plane. I want to give a shout out to the bar manager and staff. They worked so hard non stop and did an amazing job. While getting drinks several servers came around with delicious appetizers. Guests could also get in line to go inside the B29 for a tour. After cocktail hour the bride and groom flew into the reception right outside the hangar door! The staff then served us a delicious three course meal starting with Caesar salad, steak and chicken with vegetables and potatoes, and of course wedding cake. After dinner we went upstairs to see the B29 museum which offered views of the entire venue. The nine piece band entertained the guests until 11pm. This was hands down the most fun and unique wedding I have ever been to!

For the most part, it is on one level. There is a small playroom for tots upstairs and a small layout. Downstairs is where it's all happening. The first room we were taken to housed a layout that was bequeathed to the club. This was my favorite. The HO scale layout fills the room and has a great track design. It's the details of this that are mind boggling. The there is the Old West and everything about the layout adds to that. The steam locomotives are period pieces as are the rolling stock. Beautiful pieces. The buildings are all period and are weathered for realism. The people and vehicles are also in line with the theme. There are small touches, like a bird sitting on a telegraph wire. There is a lumber yard and the layout builder whittled tiny split logs -- hundreds of them -- just like real cut wood with bark on one side and the bared wood inside. It's said that he did this task while watching TV. I could have stayed in that room all day looking at different aspects of the layout. I have always wanted one with this theme and this is what I'd always envisioned it looking like. Absolutely gorgeous. In the main room, there are several layouts, some relatively simple and some more intricate. One side of the room has the skeleton framework for a new layout started and I look forward to seeing the progress next visit. There is a small layout with transformers for kids to actually run some trains. Nice touch. The walls are lined with cases filled with trains and train related items donated to the museum. Walking through them brings back memories of the Lionel O gauge trains of my youth. Off in another room is a layout with a Swiss theme. Oh my! The track design is interesting but the layout scenery, etc., is amazing. There are many moving pieces, like a Ferris wheel, cable cars strung between the mountains, and so much more. The headlights and taillights of the cars on the street scenes actually light. That must have been a wiring nightmare. Dim the lights and the night scene comes alive. I've rambled long enough. If you're in the area when it's open, do visit. Sadly, it's only open on the second and fourth weekends of the month, 10am-5pm Saturday, 1pm-5pm Sunday. And one last thing, the people working there couldn't be nicer. They answer questions, point out interesting things, and just seem to love what they're doing. I'll definitely be back.

The interpretive panels around the paths are actually fun to read and they give a quick, friendly crash course on the history of the Plains tribes without feeling heavy or academic. With the Big and Little Arkansas (pronounced AR-Kansas) Rivers rushing together right below, there is a steady sound of moving water that makes the whole place feel calm even when there are people around. The pedestrian bridges are honestly half the experience. They are cable-stayed and with those tall, clean looking masts and the cables fanning out, it feels light and modern. Walking across gives a great rive of the rivers on both sides and the design makes the approach to the Keeper feel intentional. Almost like the bridges are guiding you to the statue. It is one of those spots where the setting and the structure work together so well that you end up enjoying the walk as much as the destination. [Review 734 of 2026 - 85 in Kansas - 25915 overall]
