Top 10 Gift & Specialty Shops in Wichita, Kansas (KS)
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.

Reviewed By Redrosary - Hastings, United States
This is a great bookstore in a very unique setting. Thousands of titles (new and used, as well as several collector's titles) fill all three floors of this old house near downtown Wichita. Subjects include history, literature, art, music, science, classics, children's books, local authors, and of course, religion. While their collection on religious books is extensive, they have a large number of books which are secular and/or non-religious. Plan on spending several hours as you locate books of interest then sit down to peruse them in order to determine if you want to purchase them or put them on your list for future reads. It is a cozy and quiet setting, so you can take as much time as you want. They have free coffee available and on the day we were there, they had big donuts sitting out for anyone who wanted a sugary snack. They also offer a large number of very high quality icons.
