The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center believes play is powerful, and quality play experiences are transformational for children and families. In the first 12 years of operation, the nonprofit children’s museum has served nearly 1 million visitors from across Kansas and beyond. With our current building regularly at capacity, we are on the cusp of an exciting new chapter in our mission to ignite children's passion for learning.

Our vision is to create a museum where every child can find exciting opportunities to explore, experiment, and learn. To achieve this, we are eager to build three new learning lab classrooms that blend a test kitchen, indoor and outdoor learning, serving as the foundation for school-aged children's STEAM learning camps and programs. These cutting-edge learning labs will serve as hubs of innovation, alongside new exhibit space designed for traveling and permanent installations. Critical access and safety additions include a nursing room, sensory-friendly space, field trip entrance, workshop, and storm shelter.
