Summertime means the kids are out of school, and always looking for something fun to do. However, it’s getting pretty hot outside and sometimes you want to just stay indoors. We’ve found the perfect place for just that! This discovery center in Manhattan is a perfect family destination for those of us who want to beat the heat without sacrificing fun this summer.
Welcome to the Flint Hills Discovery Center, where your imagination helps you learn a little bit about the world around you, one visit at a time.
First of all, their Kansas exhibit covers everything from our ecosystem and wildfires, to what sort of creatures make their homes here. Kids and adults alike will find themselves learning new things, and enjoying the interactive exhibits every step of the way. Sometimes it's fun to learn!
Because some of the exhibits move and change, there's no telling what you might see each time you visit. While you'll always find the Kansas exhibits present, you might see anything from game design to dinosaurs next time around! All the reason to go again and again!
In addition to all of the Kansas exhibits and those that change, there's also a chance to see a 4-D movie where you can experience all four seasons right in your seat!
Their address is 315 S 3rd St in Manhattan. Also, their hours are 9-5 Monday through Saturday, and 12-6 on Sunday. Admission is $9.00 for adults and $4.00 for kids 3 and up.
Have you ever been here before? If so, we want to know what your experience was like!
