The Tallgrass Film Festival may be the launching pad for the next Steven Spielberg! To find out about all the great film-making talent in the area, make sure you head for this festival held the third week in October at various locations in downtown Wichita. This is the ninth annual festival, and it has built a solid tradition of allowing you to screen the best foreign, independent, short, retrospective and premiering films. Grab some popcorn, take a seat, and enjoy!

Discover the hands-on exhibits at Exploration Place, where visitors are taken inside the experiments and exhibitions to the point that their hands become a vital part of the total experience. You're invited to get closer to science, as you encounter traveling exhibits like CSI: The Experience, test your flight skills on a flight simulator, and step inside a tornado with the Tornado Simulator. On your visit to the museum, you'll also get a chance to see great science and nature films in the IMAX theater and take part in various specialty programs hosted by Exploration Place.
