Wichita State University Parent Guide
Welcome to Wichita
Big-city amenities at Midwestern prices – plus year-round events for every age, whim and passion. Wichita, the largest city in Kansas, is a destination where you can expect the unexpected!
The iconic 44-foot-tall “Keeper of the Plains” statue pays tribute to the Native Americans who lived here long before settlers arrived. Just blocks away, Old Cowtown Museum relives the 1870s complete with reenactors, a chuckwagon supper, and cowboy songs from the Diamond W Wranglers. Also in the neighborhood, Lawrence-Dumont Stadium is home to the Wichita Wingnuts baseball team and the National Baseball Congress World Series.
