💬 What Parents Say

  • 🕐Plan to visit during the midday reset (12:00-12:30 PM) if you want a cleaner, quieter experience in the Kidscape area, as staff close and thoroughly clean during this time
  • 💡The Kidscape is the museum's standout attraction for children ages 6-9, so prioritize it early in your visit when kids have the most energy
  • 💡Mark your calendar for free admission days (March 19, June 6, September 12, November 25) to save on admission costs
  • 💡Book a private guided tour in advance by calling 913-715-2570 to enhance your understanding of local Johnson County history and get insider perspectives not available in self-guided visits
  • 🕐Visit on weekday mornings to avoid large groups of school children and enjoy a more peaceful experience exploring the engaging exhibits and interactive displays
