Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Keeper of the Plains
The Keeper of the Plains stands at the confluence of Arkansas and Little Arkansas, a steel silhouette facing the sky. Pedestrian footbridges, banks and fire rings lit on certain evenings give the place a special strength, linked to the native cultures of the Plains.
Museum
Museum of World Treasures
The Museum of World Treasures takes on the taste of the cabinet of curiosities: dinosaur skeletons, Egyptian mummies, military objects, political fragments and unusual pieces respond without too wise a course. It is an effective visit for families or travellers who like to spend from one time to another in a few rooms.
Culture and heritage
Old Cowtown Museum
Old Cowtown Museum reconstitutes the Wichita cattle tracks with dirt streets, wooden houses, workshops and costumed characters. The visit gives life to the daily life of a border town, between saloon, forge, school, farm and shops located near the old cattle road.
Culture and heritage
Sedgwick County Zoo
The Sedgwick County Zoo organizes its enclosures in large parts of the world, making the visit more fluid than just a succession of animals. Gorillas, tigers, elephants, tropical birds and plains species are discovered in neat spaces, with enough shade and stops for a complete family outing.
