YOUR WICHITA WEEKEND. ALREADY PLANNED.

Whether Wichita is a place you visit once a year, pass through for a tournament or know from a few favorite stops, this weekend is your chance to experience more of it together.

If you arrive early, begin at Kansas Aviation Museum and discover why Wichita is the Air Capital of the World. Then grab dinner at Social Tap Drinkery before checking in at SpringHill Suites Wichita East at Plazzio.

After that, there’s only one thing left to do.

Hit the indoor pool.

SATURDAY: FIND SOME NEW FAMILY FAVORITES

Start with breakfast at Another Broken Egg Cafe, then let the kids explore the shelves at Imagine That Toys. Once they've picked out something new, head to Sky Zone Wichita to jump, climb and burn off the kind of energy adults can only dream about.

Spend the afternoon playing, eating and settling a few family rivalries at Chicken N Pickle. When another appetite appears, and it will, head to Fizz Burgers and Bottles.

Even if you’ve spent time in Wichita before, there’s a good chance at least one stop will earn a spot on the family’s “we need to come back here” list.

SUNDAY: GO WILD BEFORE HEADING HOME

Pick up breakfast or road-trip snacks from Great Harvest Bakery & Cafe, then spend the morning meeting the animals at Sedgwick County Zoo.

Step into Wichita’s Wild West story at Old Cowtown Museum, then discover why Wichita is the Air Capital of the World at Kansas Aviation Museum if you didn't pack that in Friday.

Leave with tired kids, a full camera roll and a few new Wichita favorites to come back to.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE THE FUN BEGINS

I've been to Wichita before. Is this getaway still worth entering?

Definitely. That’s part of the fun. The prize package brings together Wichita experiences that many Kansas families may know individually but haven’t experienced as one complete getaway. You might revisit an old favorite, discover a place you’ve never tried or finally make a full weekend out of a city you usually visit for the day.
