Wichita is one of the best cities I've ever seen in my life and I love it!
Old Town setting and restaurants were all excellent!
I was there for the Special Olympics.
We came for Riverfest.
We loved the locations of the sporting centers and the ability to get to them without traveling through town. There were so many options for meals and the food at both Jumbo's Beef and Oak & Pie was amazing!! I would travel three hours just to get the “Jimmy the Greek” pizza from Oak & Pie again! The courts at the Hoops location were as expected. Overall, our experience in Wichita was positive and I'm hoping that the coach decides to compete in more tournaments there.
Visiting family for graduation. Easy travel throughout the city.
The room was clean, and the staff was friendly! Came here for a baseball game. Probably the best-looking stadium in the Texas League. People were friendly.
The WSU baseball complex was fabulous and the price to take in a game was reasonable. We had a great time.
Many choices to eat and shop!
Many affordable restaurants. Excellent service from various businesses that were an integral part of my trip.
Nice city.
I enjoy shopping in Wichita and the restaurants.
I don't normally drive in the big cities but I was able to get around.
Texas Roadhouse Restaurant. The reason we came.
