Free Admission to Old Cowtown Museum on Sundays 2025

Sharing is caring!

Yes! Free Sundays at Cowtown is back. Thanks to a generous donation by Colby Sandlian, everyone gets FREE ADMISSION to Cowtown on Sundays from April through October.

There are some exclusions, such as when the Museum is closed and for certain special events, they’ll be held on Sundays. (Members get in free to most special events! If you’re seeing this in April, be sure to take advantage of a fantastic family membership special for Cowtown. You won’t be restricted to just Sundays, and you won’t believe the price!)

FREE Sundays start in April and go through October.

Cowtown FREE on Sundays

Cowtown announced its FREE admission Sundays on April 9.

Wichita’s Old Cowtown Museum is an authentic walk back in time to the 1860s and 1870s in Wichita. It isn’t just a building – it’s a whole town, with both real and reproduction buildings and contents that give visitors an accurate historic picture of “the way things used to be” in the Old West.

Cowtown Free Sundays Wichita

Costumed history interpreters bring the whole experience to life as you go through the town.

As far as free things to do in Wichita go, this one is near the top of our list. Be sure to wear your walking shoes, because this is an open-air museum and you’ll be doing a lot of walking.

Plan to spend at least a couple of hours if your goal is to see everything. But of course, with free admission on Sundays, you can always make another trip!

Old Cowtown Museum’s hours on Sunday are from HIGH NOON to 5 p.m.

What is your favorite thing at Wichita’s Cowtown? For me it has to be either the stilts outside the schoolyard or the sarsaparilla you can buy in the saloon. Or the horses in the carriage barn. It’s hard to choose.

Date: Every Sunday from April through October (with a few possible exceptions)
Time: noon to 5 p.m.
Location: 1865 N. Museum Blvd.
Cost: FREE admission on Sunday afternoon!

  1. Thank you so much for this great service you provide. You totally answered my question “What can this old widow do on the weekend?”
    Sincerely,
    jan mead

    1. Tayla, good question. I’m guessing (only guessing!) that since it’s “through October,” that it will stop being free on the first Sunday in November. I need to verify that, though!

  2. Carolyn, this Sunday July 23rd will not be a free Sunday at Old Cowtown Museum. It will be day number 2 of our Chisholm Trail 150 event. Our regular prices will apply.

  3. Just wanted to let you know how much I look forward to getting your emails. You seem to have your finger on the pulse of the city and surrounding towns with what is happening. When I am looking for something to do with my grandson, it is your email I go to first. Last week, it was the Kite Festival at Chapin Park we went to, and had a fantastic time. The people from Wings of the Wind were so very kind & helpful. I will attend that event again and shop their store again. Thanks so much for your hard work and research.

    1. Aw, thank you for telling me that, Darline. I was at the Kite event too, with my family! I agree that the folks at Wings of the Wind are wonderful. I know them personally, and can tell you that they’re like that all the time.

      I’m just so thankful to hear that my work is useful and helpful to people. Warms the <3. That's always been my goal - to help people get out and enjoy what our town has to offer no matter what their budget, big or small! 🙂
