Kansas Children's Discovery Center

This place was amazing. We stayed here all day with the kids for about 7 hours. Well worth the money. The kids had so much fun going from activity to activity and never getting board. We brought our own lunch. There are picnic tables inside and outside. There are so many educational, hands-on exhibits for kids (and some adults too). The favorite is the rock machine in the back inside where a bunch of kids had to work together as a team to move the rocks. They also had a Lego station, building blocks station, vacuum suction tubes, a toddler area, and so much more. Outside there is a pond with flat rocks to walk across, a garden, a pollinator garden, a music garden with a bunch of percussion instruments, rocks to climb on, a merry go round, giant chess and so much more. The bathrooms are super cleans too and the staff is very friendly. If you are visiting Topeka, this place is a must if you have kids. We have a 12, 10 and 4 year old and they all had a blast.

An amazing experience for the kids. There is plenty of indoor activity and to my surprise, there was also a ton of activities outside as well. My kids are 4 and almost 2 and they totally enjoyed everything this facility offered. We spent 2.5 hours here and we didn't even touch everything that there was to offer. There is stuff for the older kiddos too. But, this is perfect for that 1-6/7 age range. We will definitely be going back!

Today was busy, but not overcrowded. Everything is clean. The bathroom is excellent, so accessible. Makes everything easier for parents, etc. There are so many wonderful learning toys, a playhouse/slid, Legos, play grocery store. It is great for young children. My grandchildren are 18 mos. old and they love it.
