Location

4400 SW 10th Ave, Topeka, KS 66604

Get ready to make your own toy on Saturday, September 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Kansas Children's Discovery Center in honor of the Worldwide Day of Play. We will explore the engineering behind toys and discover how simple machines can create big fun. Kids will be able to try out engineering-inspired projects like catapults, hydraulic lifts, and toys that tell stories through movement like puppets, and toys that propel us into space like stomp rockets. This hands-on activity encourages creativity, problem-solving, and engineering skills as kids design, build, test, and play with their own creations.

Regular admission applies, which is $11 for adults and children, $10 for seniors over 65, and free for infants under 12 months and Discovery Center members. Admission also lets you play all day at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center with over 30,000 square feet of indoor educational exhibits exploring science, careers, art, building and more, plus a 4.5 acre certified Nature Explore
Outdoor Classroom. Check out https://kansasdiscovery.org/events/ for more serious fun!
