Wichita has some great Museums to visit and Museums are a great way to get out of the house to learn about history. By attending these museums, I have listed, you’re not only supporting the building and their preservation, but you are supporting the community. Who knows, maybe you’ll find out something you didn’t know about Wichita, art, planes, or the Indian tribe that Wichita was named after.
Make sure to ask for discounts and follow Wichita on the Cheap on Facebook and Instagram because we always post when attractions have specials or admission deals.
