Our approach extends beyond school time to ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn outside of the classroom in a dynamic, new, and fun way.

My boyfriend & I came out to Overland Park for dinner & decided why don’t we find something we can do before we head home. So we searched on google & we found this museum! We’re so glad we did because it was so beautiful here! A lot to see & experience. Cool stuff for little kids to do!
