Dome Theater Shows at Exploration Place
Tuesday, March 17
Exploration Place

Whether your visit includes exploring the exhibits or catching a show on its own, the Dome theater is a Wichita attraction not to be missed!

Immerse yourself under the soaring 60-foot screen with a 360-degree view and booming surround sound in the largest dome theater in Kansas. Experience first hand why the magnitude of an immersive cinematic journey, developed specifically for the curved complexities of a dome screen, can’t be replicated in a traditional theater setting. The only question is… where do you want the Dome to take you?

Spring Break at GROW is a drop-in Festival Week designed for kids, families, and creatives of all ages. We’ve simplified spring break with Festival Builds—clear build tiers that make it easy to jump in and   create.

In addition to festival builds happening all day, we’ll also be offering ticketed specialty classes throughout the week for those looking for a guided experience or something a little extra.

Stay tuned for class announcements and details coming soon.

Bonus Open Day: We’ll be open on Tuesday the 17th for Spring Break Festival fun—no reservations needed.

Spring Break at GROW is kid-friendly but adult-welcoming, whether you’re building alongside your kids or creating something of your own.

Just come in, pick your build, and get creative.
