It's not just THE key element in real estate, but the “where” of an event is also just about as important as the event itself. And Exploration Place is your key to a versatile venue that will accommodate such varied events as weddings in the Grand Hall, business meetings in the Creative Learning Studio, company picnics in the outdoor Festival Plaza and more.
No matter what you're planning, Exploration Place's dramatic architecture and stunning views serve as a compelling background, matched only by its extraordinary exhibits, the high-tech Boeing Dome Theater and Planetarium, and award-winning outdoor offerings. Here's more about our most rented areas.
To plan your event at Exploration Place, call Charlsey Czernicki, Sales and Special Events Manager at 316-660-0642 or e-mail at cczernicki@exploration.org.
