My family is obsessed with the Discovery Center! So filled with various experiences, we have now seen four of their specialty exhibits and each one was interactive, fun, and soooo informative. My kiddos (13 and twins 8) have spent countless hours exploring and we always find something we missed the last time, even in the permanent exhibits. I highly recommend this museum, it is our favorite rainy day location!

It's a nice place w/friendly staff. I was a bit underwhelmed by the "great dinosaur area." Our 4yr old granddaughter loved this place! They did have a few cool play areas for kids.

This place saved my sanity with two little ones. They have wonderful programs such as nature together for children 18 months to 3 years, and preschoolers in the flint hills for kids 3 and up. The staff got to know us after being here for so long and felt like family. Membership is definitely worth it! Exhibits change frequently and kids are always engaged with the new sights to see.

First of all, I would like to personally thank Director, Susan Adams for providing me with a lot of helpful information prior to my visit. I’ve wanted to visit The Flint Hills Discovery Center for a number of years, and I’m SO glad that I’ve finally been able to! There’s a film in a small theater that provides guests with a historical background about The Flint Hills. The exhibits are VERY hands on, and are all about the preservation and culture of The Flint Hills. It’s a VERY serene and calming environment, as are The Flint Hills. This would be a great place to bring a group of students on a field trip, and there’s a lot of fun activity sheets for them to engage in. I would also point out that this can also serve as a community center because there’s several rooms available to hold any kind of event. The kids have a great deal of fun on the second level in The Prairie Playscape. If you go up to the third level, that takes you outside to where you have amazing views of The City of Manhattan. On the first level, as soon as you enter, is a gift shop with all sorts of unique Kansas products. The staff are VERY friendly, knowledgeable and can assist you with ALL things Manhattan.
