The Regnier Family Wonderscope Children's Museum of Kansas City

Wonderscope: A Place for Kids to Explore and Learn

Wonderscope is a fun place for kids to explore and learn through play. With a focus on STEAM – science, technology, engineering, arts, and math – it offers 30,000 square feet of indoor exhibits and a half-acre of outdoor play areas.

Indoor Exhibits

In the "Crossroads of Past and Future" exhibit, children explore transportation modes that shaped Kansas City. The "WaterWorks" exhibit features interactive water play inspired by Kansas City's iconic fountains and rivers. Kids can role-play as chefs and servers in the "Kansas City Café."

Outdoor Play Areas

Outside, kids can navigate a maze and explore a fully accessible treehouse. The outdoor area also includes tricycles, play structures, and a sandbox, offering plenty of ways for little ones to burn off energy.
