Things to do in Wichita, Kansas (KS): The Best Fun Activities & Games

January 3, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Dorothy clicked her heels to return to Kansas, and you'll want to do the same after you've visited this one-time cattle town turned modern, booming city, where the spirit of the Old West lives on. To get a feel of the early pioneer days, visit the recreated village at the Old Cowtown Museum. For a slightly more eccentric experience, visit the Museum of Ancient Treasures, which has everything from a baseball signed by Joe DiMaggio to a shrunken head. The Indian Center Museum features works by Plains Indian artists. Wichita is an aircraft manufacturing center, and the Kansas Aviation Museum honors pioneers in the field, as well as housing model planes. Exploration Place gives kids more insights into aviation and other scientific wonders. For nature and wildlife, check out Botanica's lovely gardens or head over to the Sedgwick County Zoo, home to over 350 species of animals. Wichita stays up when the sun goes down: there's nightlife, culture, karaoke and cuisine for all tastes.

The Arcade

Reviewed By OKCChildpsych - Edmond, United States

We brought our daughters to this while in Wichita for Spring Break. Friendly people greeted us and we paid a fee I didn't find too high considering we could stay as long as we wanted. It is a traditional arcade room with classic arcade video games and pinball machines. We ran the gamut from earlier staples like Pac-Man through the early 'next-gen' games like TRON and Dragon's Lair. A bonus at the time (I hope they still have this the next time we're there) is a badge on each game that was featured in the book 'Ready Player One.' My daughters enjoyed it as much as I did. Refreshments are sold in front and there is an appropriate level of monitoring in the rooms to ensure people are safe and the machines aren't getting abused. One sad drawback was that a few of the older pinball games were not always working right, but the staff came to the rescue when needed! We will definitely be back!
