“Great Attraction”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2012 NEW

We are living in Wichita for about 6 months and we were looking for some great day trips to take. We stumbled upon the Cosmosphere & Space Center and really enjoyed it. They have some great space memorabilia and the Imax isnt bad either. Not a bad price for a museum. I believe it was around $13.00 a person for... More

“Great place...needs some new exhibits that are kid friendly”

We have enjoyed this museum many times over the years...but do wish that their exhibits were updated to be more kid-friendly. While I know that school groups visit often, it would be much improved with a wider range of exhibit topics and perhaps some hands-on features. More

“Very Informative”

person found this review helpful

We bought the tickets that included admission to the Cosmosphere, 1 IMAX movie, Planetarium and Dr. Goddard's Lab. I would recommend getting this ticket even if you don't get to do one of the four. The Cosmosphere is very informative, lots of reading, lots of exhibits containing full pieces/partial pieces of items that were actually used in space missions or... More

I thought we would only spend a couple of hours but ended up spending an entire day. Do see the IMAX shows. It is a dome IMAX so you get the real experience, not like some flat screen theaters. More
