I was totally surprised to find that we had a museum in Wichita that had actual fossils and dinosaur bones. This museum is a cross between a children's museum and a family friendly educational hot-spot. The entire staff is warm and helpful at every turn. There's plenty to see and many hands on exhibits for just about everyone. We'll probably...

If you are in Wichita, Ks, this is a great place to see. It's not huge, but it is full of great stuff to see. It starts with the magnificent dinosaur and takes you up through history. My grandson, 9, and granddaughter, 10, were fascinated and could have spent the whole day there. I would suggest that you might not...

We stopped here for about 3 hours during our tour across the southwest, this was on our last day of travel back and what a fun stop. We have a 7 and a 5 year old and they really enjoyed the dinosaurs, Egypt exhibits, the incandescent rocks, and the Wild West history. There was a ton of stuff to see...

This place is packed full of antiquities. My 3 year old daughter had fun but I would like to go back with my wife and spend many hours there reading.

Very rude staff, not helpful at all. Felt more like hall monitors than museum staff. Answered no questions but very quick to reprimand any perceived misbehavior. My boyfriend was loudly yelled at in front of everyone for taking a picture with his phone after being told pics were fine. " Not on this level!!!" Well, signs or something would have...

We're very sorry you were disappointed with the Museum of World Treasures. We strive to make our Museum a place of entertainment, not frustration. Unfortunately we do not allow photos on the second floor because many of the priceless artifacts on that floor are loaned to us from private collectors. These collectors do not want photographed copies available to the...

This was a great Museum! We enjoyed seeing the Dinosaurs, Berlin Wall and Mummys. There were lots of early pieces of history. There was so much to see!

Went here on a tour, I had no idea it was there. The dinosaur exhibit was very good ~ who knew there were dinosaurs in Kansas? I liked the message board in the World War II area the best. It's a place where people can leave personal messages about the experiences of loved ones during the war.
