We have some exciting news to share, and it’s about the city we love just as much as the museum we call home. Kansas City is the #1 trending summer destination and Wonderscope is part of the story.
According to Travel + Leisure’s “Top Trending Domestic and International Summer Travel Destinations for 2026,” Kansas City, Missouri has been named the top trending domestic summer destination in the United States. The Regnier Family Wonderscope Children’s Museum was one of their recommended destinations in Kansas City, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.
KC is having a moment. From its legendary barbecue and vibrant arts scene to its world-class sports and family-friendly attractions, the city is drawing visitors from across the country in record numbers. And right in the middle of it all is The Regnier Family Wonderscope Children’s Museum, the region’s only fully accessible, nonprofit children’s museum dedicated to STEAM learning for young children and their families.
Whether you’re welcoming out-of-town guests this summer or you’re a longtime local, now is the perfect time to rediscover what makes Wonderscope so special: 30,000 square feet of hands-on indoor exploration, a half-acre of year-round outdoor adventure, and experiences designed to spark a lifelong love of learning, all woven with the spirit of Kansas City.
We are deeply grateful to be named a destination that draws families to our beloved city. Thank you for being part of the Wonderscope community that makes this possible.
Be with your little ones and be their favorite person! Plan your trip today at wonderscope.org. Membership starts at $150, good for a full year of unlimited visits!
