Movie Deals
Summer is the perfect season to score great movie deals in Wichita! My personal favorite is the FREE RiverFlix Outdoor Movies at Exploration Place; it’s such a fun experience looking over the river to the Keeper of the Plains while sitting outside Exploration Place watching a movie. A close second is loading up the car and heading to the Starlite Drive-In with the family. Wichita also has plenty of other awesome movie bargains, like Boulevard Theatres’ Movie Mondays, Regal’s Kids Summer Movie Deals, and Derby Plaza’s Summer Specials. There’s something for everyone!
And because it’s one of my favorite videos of all time and I’ll find any excuse to share it – here’s the Dad Life:
Ahaha! The dad rolling up to the splash park in his mini van. 🙂

Oh my goodness, Cindy, thank you for saying something. I don’t know why, exactly, but a little bit of code was causing a problem and when I got rid of it, all my content appeared. Thank you so much again. I didn’t even notice until you commented.
Fathers get in free at “Old Cowtown Museum” as well, with a paid child admission (or adult) Open 10am to 5 pm. Kids can make a special card for Dad. there will also be gunfights and wagon rides.
Thank you, Marty! Great news! Cowtown would be a great place to go for Fathers Day.
