The Cosmosphere in Hutchinson. It is one of the premiere space museums in the country, the go-to museum for restoration and model making, and have a week long space camp that is some of the most fun one can have when under grade 10. Plus, the flight sim computers had AH installed on them last time I was there for camp (around 4 years ago. I didn't play it, because they had MS flight sim and some F-15 sim, and I did not know any better.)
