The Air & Space Museum is wonderful; almost equally so is the Kansas Cosmosphere & Space Center (http://www.cosmo.org/) in Hutchinson, KS which is an hour and thirteen minutes away from Wichita as Google Maps calculates it. Other than the space race artifact exhibits, it has an entertaining (though childish) show about rocketry posed as Dr. Goddard's Lab, a couple of good planetarium shows, and an IMAX theater whose schedule rotates.
