Skyscraper ScienceLive Science Show

Brace yourself for an exciting live show where we’ll test the strength of plastic toy bricks by crushing them in a hydraulic press. How much pressure is too much? We’ll simulate lightning strikes on buildings like the Epic Center and uncover what tools are built into the structure to withstand the impact.

As they say, what goes up, must come down. What happens to a building when it’s time to start over?  Supervise the job site as we orchestrate a controlled implosion.

This unique experience reveals the secrets behind these architectural wonders, showcasing the resilience of building materials and the forces shaping city skylines. Embark on an unforgettable adventure at Exploration Place, where the magic of science meets spectacle, leaving you in awe of the secrets behind the Wichita skyline!
