*Monday Educational Experiences
September 28, 2015
All-Day Educational Experiences
Lunch included
Monday is our traditional full-day tours to sites outside of Wichita that
are so interesting we just had to include them as educational experiences.
T1: Over and Under in Hutchinson
Come "Share our Space" in Hutchinson, known as the "The Salt City." Then,
"drop in" 650 feet underground at Strataca, the only North American
attraction museum located in a working salt mine. Then, go back in time to the
Amish community of Yoder for homemade pie. These are amazing sites!
T2: Hallå, Hallo, Hola: Immigrant Groups of South Central Kansas
Most people don't know that Kansas has an incredible ethnic heritage.
You'll get to discover all that on this tour. Swedish, Mennonite and Mexican
groups immigrated to central Kansas. Find out what brought them here.
T3: Air Capital Aviation Adventure - Wichita: Wings Around the World!
The history of aviation in one afternoon. Yes, it is possible to do that
in Wichita. Cessna, Boeing and Beech - they are or were all here. See the
old but original Art Deco Terminal, now the Kansas Aviation Museum.

collections in the U.S., and the Ulrich Museum of Art.

Treasures with its three floors of exhibits that include mummies and

the Nifty Nut House, a local historic legend.

bring back ideas to your museum.
