The "Best" Way to Spend a Weekend in Wichita

Ah, the conundrum of our times: How to spend those precious 48 hours of freedom in a place that’s fervently trying to cling onto any semblance of excitement. But, since we’re here, let’s dive into the weekend revelries Wichita has to offer. Manage your expectations, though.

1. Visit the Kansas Aviation Museum

Because nothing screams "weekend fun" quite like staring at old planes and pretending you’re living in a Discovery Channel documentary. You might even imagine yourself as a pilot, flying far, far away from the monotony.

Tip: Go early. That way, you can tell yourself the rest of the day can only get better. Kansas Aviation Museum

2. Explore the Botanica Wichita

Witness the cruelty of nature showing off its beauty, right in your face. Feel the sting as you realize that, unlike these perfectly manicured flowers, your life’s a mess. Enjoy it though – it’s a botanical garden, not your therapist.

Seasonal Highlight: The Illuminations event during the winter. Nothing like twinkling lights to mask the existential dread. Botanica Wichita

3. Stroll Through Old Town

Pretend you're in a vibrant, bustling city. Walk the cobblestone streets lined with bars and shops, and seamlessly segue into the realization that you could be spending this time binge-watching a show with a 65% Rotten Tomatoes rating.

  • Mort's Cigars and Martini Bar: Because nothing pairs better with mild disillusionment than a very dry martini.
  • Old Town Farm and Art Market: Observe handmade crafts and produce; resist the urge to ask vendors if their dreams are as dead as yours.

4. Catch a Show at the Orpheum Theatre

If you're feeling particularly masochistic, take in a show at the Orpheum Theatre. Imagine the illustrious history—the glamour, the glitz—that no longer exists but can now be seen in the faded seats and vintage architecture.

Pro-Tip: Act cultured and pretentious for bonus points. Orpheum Theatre

5. Delve into Local Cuisine

Sampling Wichita’s culinary offerings is akin to playing Russian roulette with your taste buds. But hey, it’s part of the adventure, right?

  • NuWay Burgers: Because greasy fare is just what your arteries were asking for.
  • The Anchor: For those who wish to drown their weekend sorrows in a sea of craft beers.

6. Exploration of Cowtown

Step back in time to when life was basic, hardships were real, and you can feel slightly relieved it's no longer the 19th century. This Wild West museum will give you a taste of simpler, albeit grimmer, times. Old Cowtown Museum

Final Thoughts

By Sunday evening, you’ll either have found a newfound appreciation for Wichita’s “charms” or be fervently planning your next escape. Either way, you've given it the old college try. So pat yourself on the back, pour yourself a “celebratory” drink, and get ready for the grind to start all over again.

And remember: In the grand theater of life, we’re all just unpaid extras. Cheers! 🍸
