\u201cGo west, young man\u201d until you reach Wichita<\/a>, the largest city in Kansas. An iconic sculpture, wildlife parks, fascinating architecture, and an emerging foodie scene await you. Here in the \u201cAviation Capital of the World,\u201d you\u2019ll be impressed by the strong sense of city pride. They don\u2019t just fly the Wichita flag; they fly it high!<\/p>\n

The iconic image in Wichita is the Keeper of the Plains<\/a> sculpture that stands at the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas rivers. Created by Native American artist Blackbear Bosin, this 44-foot, 5-ton steel sculpture overlooks the city. Each night firepots are lit, creating a spectacular Ring of Fire showcasing the relationships between earth, water, air, and fire.<\/p>\n

At Tanganyika Wildlife Park<\/a>, have a great time making new animal friends as you feed lemurs, giraffes, African tortoises, and pygmy hippos. Cross their \u201cBehind the Scenes Tours\u201d off your bucket list as you pet the kangaroos and joeys basking in the sun or get up close and personal with Chewy, their chill sloth. Let the Lorikeets drink nectar from a cup\u2026in your hand!<\/p>\n

Art and Architecture all over town <\/strong><\/p>\n

Murals, museums and more are everywhere in Wichita, reflecting the creative spirit of the city. Check out the Allen House<\/a>, the prairie-style house designed in 1918 by Frank Lloyd Wright, considered of the “10 great Frank Lloyd Wright home\u201d in the country. Built for newspaper publisher, later governor, and U.S. Senator Henry Allen and the wife, Elsie, the house brings nature inside with horizontal lines, earth tones and interior furnishings.<\/p>\n

Add the Ulrich Museum to your list of must-dos so you can enjoy modern and contemporary art from the 20th <\/sup>to 21st<\/sup> century, highlighted by Personnages Oiseaux (Bird People)<\/em>\u00a0by Spanish artist\u00a0Joan Mir\u00f3<\/a>. This world masterpiece of Venetian-glass-and-marble mosaic stands at the entry. Be sure to see Milli the Millipede, right behind you. While you\u2019re on campus, visit the Pizza Hut Museum and learn more about how the popular restaurant chain got started.<\/p>\n

The Wichita Art Museum<\/a>, one of the museums on the river, features an outstanding collection of American art featuring Edward Hopper, Dale Chihuly, and Thomas Eakins. A Georgia O\u2019Keeffe retrospective, Art, Style, Image<\/em> is currently on display through June 23. Admission is free on Saturdays.<\/p>\n

The Cuisine Scene<\/strong><\/p>\n

Start your day off right at HomeGrown Wichita<\/a> with their fresh coffee cake, topped with warm caramel sauce. Or, try Pop-Tarts like you\u2019ve never had before in two flavors. Omelets are supersized, stuffed with your favorite ingredients. Great salads and sammies, too. Open for breakfast and lunch.<\/p>\n

For a casual lunch, hang out at the food trucks at the ICT Pop-Up Urban Park. Check their Facebook page to see which trucks are there for the week. You\u2019ll also find games, activities like drawing on the chalk wall, and a chance to meet the locals.<\/p>\n

Or, try Piatto Neapolitan Pizzeria<\/a> with its wood-burning oven from Italy, flatbread pizza varieties like Fresca or Holy Kale and local brews. You\u2019ll taste the passion in every bite.<\/p>\n

Formally a food truck, Prost<\/a> is now a full-service, sit-down restaurant, reflecting Wichita\u2019s German population. Located in the new shipping container park, Prost features an Urban Bier Garden with authentic German cuisine. Try the pretzels or flammkuchen as appetizers and schnitzel, bratwurst and bierock as entrees.<\/p>\n

For a sophisticated dinner, George\u2019s French Bistro<\/a> is like a taste of Paris, right in the plains. You\u2019ll know you\u2019ve come to someplace special with an exterior that looks like a French caf\u00e9. The inside d\u00e9cor is a totally French design, and the cuisine is creative and superb. Start with the Charcuterie Board or savory French Onion Soup. I recommend the potato-encrusted salmon, haricot verts, and a garnish arugula salad as an entr\u00e9e. Save room for a Nutella and banana crepe.<\/p>\n
