Botanica is celebrating Father’s Day, and admission is FREE for fathers. It’s a great opportunity to spend quality time together while exploring Wichita’s beautiful gardens, seasonal blooms, pond, and family-friendly attractions.
As a parent, I love experiences that create memories without adding a big expense, and this is one of the Best Father’s Day Deals in Wichita. Pack up the family, take a stroll through the gardens, and enjoy an afternoon outdoors. While dads get in free, all other guests pay regular admission. It’s a simple and affordable way to celebrate the father figures in your life.
Pro Tip: If you want to do other things with your dad, visit our Wichita Summer Checklist.
Pack a picnic and make an afternoon of it. Botanica allows guests to bring their own food and non-alcoholic drinks, which can save a lot compared to eating out. Find a shady spot, spread out a blanket, and enjoy lunch surrounded by beautiful gardens and flowers. You could even bring a deck of cards or a favorite board game and turn your visit into a relaxing family outing. It’s one of my favorite ways to enjoy Botanica while keeping the day affordable and making the most of your visit.

Happy Father’s Day to two of my favorite dads: my dad and my husband.
The first photo is a special one of my dad and me riding the Joyland Carousel many years ago. It brings back so many great memories, which makes it even more meaningful that I later had the opportunity to help restore the carousel during my time at Botanica. Being part of preserving a piece of Wichita history that meant so much to my family was something I’ll never forget.
The second photo is of my husband being a very good sport during the opening of the Bee House. Whether he’s helping with family adventures, supporting my crazy ideas, or jumping into whatever fun comes our way, he’s always there with a smile.
I’m grateful for both of these men and the love, support, and memories they have given our family. Happy Father’s Day!
