Kansas Aviation Museum
Wichita is the 'Air Capital of the World' and the Kansas Aviation Museum at the old Wichita Municipal Airport beautifully chronicles this heritage, making it a fascinating non-sports activity to build into a sports-travel weekend. The collection includes vintage aircraft, aerospace memorabilia, and ties to Kansas sports legends who served in wartime aviation. It's a genuinely unique attraction that enriches any visit to Wichita.
Attraction
Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center
Century II is Wichita's landmark performing arts and convention center, a distinctive circular building on the Arkansas River that hosts concerts, touring shows, and major events that sports travelers can layer into their Wind Surge or Shockers weekends. The building's striking mid-century modern architecture and riverside setting make it one of Wichita's most photogenic landmarks. Sports weekenders who arrive Friday afternoon often catch a Century II show before Saturday's game.

INTRUST Bank Arena
Wichita's premier 15,004-seat arena hosts the ECHL's Wichita Thunder hockey team, NCAA March Madness tournament games, major concerts, and touring events.

Attraction
Keeper of the Plains & River Walk
A 44-foot steel sculpture by Blackbear Bosin standing at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers, the Keeper of the Plains is Wichita's most iconic landmark. The Ring of Fire ceremony ignites flames around the base nightly, and pedestrian bridges connect to riverside walking trails and the Mid-America All-Indian Museum.
