Would have liked you to add Wichita State University. It not only has great sports entertainment, but the campus is beautiful with art sculptures and flower beds. The original Pizza Hut is located on campus and the University has a wonderful variety of musical and theater productions.

If you're in and around the wichita area and have already done the Aviation museum, take a day and head about 45 minutes north to Hutchinson and hit the Kansas Cosmosphere. the lobby is built around an actual flown SR-71 blackbird. There's an large collection of space race artifacts, like the Apollo 13 command module!

Not a bad video. The excellent Sedgwick County Zoo probably deserved more of a mention. It is great for kids and adults as well.

My favorite place is Chilsom Creek Park and Great Plains Nature Center.

The Kress building was my favorite downtown store. The downstairs lunch counter had a great menu. The building was next to the Miller theater which was torn down to build a parking deck.

Wichita is a nice place to live… My hometown glad it’s getting some recognition that it deserves

Great video. Grew up in Wichita and now live on the east coast but Wichita remains a part of me. Bought my first “real hat” at Hatman Jacks in Delano. Oh yeah, thanks for pronouncing the name of the river correctly.

We visited this beautiful place together. I loved it a lot. Thank you for sharing. I am impressed Wichita 🥰❤

Hi Sam! I've seen quite a few "travel' videos about Wichita, and yours is the best. Very well done, from the excellent photography to the selection of points of interest. Sure, there were a few other places to highlight. . .the DOC B-29 Hangar and Museum, for example. It ties so well into the city's aviation history. 1, 644 of them were built in Wichita during WW II. Wichita isn't my hometown, but I've lived here a long time and spent many years directing live TV newscasts. And I just have to say, from a "director's" viewpoint, you're a wonderful "performer." You really do a great job on your videos. Your energy and presentation style is engaging and fun. Glad I found you here, and I plan to "travel" a lot more with you!
