From the moment the doors open until the final song lights up the Dome, Golden is packed with the energy, excitement and community that have made this movie a worldwide phenomenon.

On Friday, June 12, join us at Exploration Place for one of Wichita’s most exciting summer events. Adopt a rubber duck, then watch as thousands are released into a live river race.

Each duck is numbered and if yours crosses the finish line first, you win $10,000! Best of all, every duck helps support hands-on science and discovery in our community.

Will yours be the lucky duck of the night?
