Are you planning a meeting and will have downtime to fill? Rain or shine, winter or summer, Wichita has you covered with indoor and outdoor options for cultivating delegate networking and relationship-building opportunities.
Take a tour
The perfect way for a group to get out and explore Wichita while bonding is to take a tour. The city’s Q-Line is a fun, free way to explore the city’s downtown. On the Q-Line's 3.3-mile route, meeting delegates can ride from the Historic Delano District to Clifton Square to take in local shops, restaurants, breweries and more. You may also opt to rent a range of vehicles from minibuses to luxurious charter buses for your group tour from one of Wichita's esteemed charter bus companies.
Explore the arts
From art galleries, murals, museums and so much more, Wichita is home to an incredible art scene and the opportunity for your delegates to try it all. Groups can engage in painting or pottery at CityArts and Paint the Towne, glass blowing at Infinity Art Glass or Karg Arts, culinary classes at Mark Arts, The Kitchen or NICHE and even customize your own plant arrangement at GROW.
Get physical
Get your steps in while enjoying the 224 acres and 400 species of animals at the internationally recognized Sedgwick County Zoo. Or enjoy the exotic animals at Tanganyika Wildlife Park. Both zoos have rental space for off-site meetings.
Groups can also opt to engage in a friendly race along the Arkansas River by renting kayaks, pedal boats, scooters and more from Boats and Bikes. If you want to keep your crew on their toes, Wichita gives you that chance at Chicken N Pickle. Indoor and outdoor pickle ball courts are available for reservation seven days a week.
For more fun, head to indoor rock-climbing gym Bliss Climbing and Fitness,featuring a 38-foot climbing wall and a 16-foot bouldering wall. Or get to swinging at TopGolf near the best shopping at Greenwich Place.
Try something new
Your meeting delegates can try their hand at ax throwing at Axe to Grind or Blade and Timber. Private event space with food and drink options are available. You'll find the location of both sites attractive as well - just blocks away from Century II Convention Center.
See a show
Wichita has plenty of entertainment options for groups searching for a live experience. Head to Roxy’s Downtown or Mosley Street Melodrama for dinner and a show. Or discover Crown Uptown Theatre and Orpheum Theatre with a historic charm, and don’t forget about Music Theatre Wichita and The Forum Theatre bringing local and regional talent. Although some of these theaters offer dinner, you can always choose from one of Wichita’s 1,200+ restaurants.
With opportunities like these and so many more, you shouldn’t have trouble pleasing groups of any size, age or interest when it comes to after-hours team-building fun in the Heart of the country.
