Old Cowtown Museum

Step onto Cowtown's dirt roads and enter a world just off the Chisholm Trail that is frozen in an 1865-1880 loop. Connect with history through artifacts in Cowtown's permanent collection, including textiles, furnishings, furniture, tools and art. Cowtown's unique programming tells the story of the city of Wichita's evolution, from a frontier settlement to a cattle town to an agricultural and manufacturing area.​

From feeding the giraffes, swimming with the penguins, interacting with the lemurs, and so much more! We create wow moments and make memories through hands-on animal experiences that inspire stewardship of animals.

Great Plains Nature Center

Bring your family and friends to our unique, nature-themed events at the Great Plains Nature Center. Learn about the ecosystems, natural history, and wildlife of the Great Plains while enjoying the amenities of Wichita, KS.

Pumphouse

Located at the heart of our city's historic Old Town district inside a converted filling station, the Pumphouse is Wichita's premier bar & grill. Come on in and have a drink, or stay for a bite to eat. Originally established in 1931 as a downtown Wichita filling and service station, today the Pumphouse serves a different kind of clientele but still sticks to many of the same business principles. Family- owned and operated, we continue to take great pride in the one-of-a-kind experience we provide. (A great club after daytime hours for 21+)
