Real-life escape room games are new and fun way to spend time with friends and family! These adventure games challenge you to use the elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit. Can you make it out before the timer expires?

I booked this as something fun to do with my husband and kids during Christmas vacation. It was challenging and a lot of fun. I’m happy there are other options besides movies and dinner. I would definitely recommend booking a room and trying something new. We all really enjoyed it.

3. Prairie Rose Chuckwagon Supper

The largest collection of Hopalong Cassidy memorabilia in the world.
Reviewed By rbwildcat - Phillipsburg, Kansas
First off, this is A LOT more than just the Hopalong Cassidy Museum. That is only a small part of the attraction. Gates open at 5:00 and there's the Hopalong Cassidy Museum and Happy Trails Theater to tour before the chuck wagon meal. There's also wagon rides through the beautiful grounds and lassoing and fun "kid" activities. I'm not a "cowboy memorabilia" fan, but greatly enjoyed the atmosphere. Upon entering the Opera House, you can shop at the Mercantile and listen to the player piano. The dinner bell rings at 6:15. A delicious all you can eat chuck wagon meal is served at 6:30. The staff has serving down to an art! After the meal is cleared, the Prairie Rose Rangers put on a fabulous musical show.....wow, what great musicians! Rose Rose is about 15 miles from Wichita. It was a great evening of entertainment!

I love antique stores so I wanted to check this one out. There was a wide variety of booths. When I went they were having a contest to see which booth was decorated the best for Christmas. It was neat because it was almost like visiting a museum. The booths are well designed and I did find a few items to purchase . I really wanted the giant wooden elephant but it was a little too big and pricey for my budget that day. Overall it is a fun place to find treasures .

We are a glassblowing studio in Benton, Kansas, just 10 minutes NE of Wichita off 254 Highway. We offer handblown, one-of-a-kind art glass sculptures, glassblowing demonstrations & studio tours.
Reviewed By Bugsey829 - Wichita, Kansas
Went there with grandkids and their parents. I’ve lived nearby (2.5 miles) for years and never visited this gem. They’ll guide you through a glass blowing session and make it fun and easy, not to mention the beautiful Christmas ornaments that we made. Check on availability if you don’t have a lot of time. Only can accommodate small groups. 8 - 10

Botanica is a wonderful place to be alone with your thoughts. I would highly recommend visiting for the Christmas light display. The team spends a lot of effort turning the park into a winter wonderland.

Our youngest son is a plane buff. Recently we surprised him with a ride in one of the bi-planes. He was beyond words at how much he enjoyed it. It is expensive but if you like planes it is a "Hoot".
8. The Keeper of the Plains
Overall Ratings

The Keeper of the Plains stands at the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas rivers with hands raised in supplication to the Great Spirit. Renowned Kiowa-Comanche artist Blackbear Bosin donated the Keeper of the Plains to the citizens of Wichita on May 18, 1974.Since the sculpture's installation to commemorate the United States Bicentennial, it has become a symbol for the city of Wichita and a tribute to the local American Indian tribes. in 1974. A complete renovation of the sculpture and installation of the Keeper of the Plains Plaza now brings people out each evening to see the Keeper and the "Ring of Fire." The 44-foot Cor-Ten steel Keeper of the Plains statue is now 30 feet higher than before with its new pedestal,surrounded by a plaza which describes the Plains Indian way of life. The Keeper also serves as the focal point of an eight-year, $20 million restoration and river beautification project completed in May 2007. Pedestrians can access the area via two bow-and-arrow-inspired cable-stay bridges which span the Little and Big Arkansas rivers. Fire drums on boulders at the foot of the Keeper dramatically light the night. Plantings of sage, bottlebrush, medicinal herbs, prairie grasses, yuccas and cactus add to the sense of place and time. The area is free and open to the public year-round.

This is a beautiful lighted night time delight. The Keeper of the Plains is well light and visible for a distance. There are paved sidewalks along the river where the Keeper of the Plains overlooks. There are beautiful bridges to the small island that hosts the Keeper of the Plains. On the small island is a display of Indian related trivia. There's also an exhibit of signs Indians used to communicate on caves and they tell a story along with the translation. We were there in February so the fire and water 'show' was not active. Would love to see them in action! Nice break for an evening stroll weather permitting.

The Museum of World Treasures, with more than 3,000 artifacts on three floors. Discover your inner explorer!
Reviewed By TheBlackCondor - Colorado Springs, Colorado
This place is really cool. They have a ton of stuff for such a small place, and I was told that's about 25% of the entire collection! They really should find a bigger building.
The first floor is all about history, with mostly complete dinosaur skeletons, and artifacts from ancient Greece, the Orient and Egypt (with two real mummies!).
The second floor is mostly about wars (WW1, WW2, Civil War, etc.). There's also a hall of presidents where they have little fact cards about each that I went through and was thoroughly entertained.
Third floor has some more WW2 stuff and some random things from movies and such. There's also a little room where kids have some stuff they can play with.
Unfortunately, my 3 y/o son got bored and I had to cut my reading short (there's a lot to read!) so we could go. I could have spent another hour at least looking at things. This place is nice for some of the exhibits, but most of the war stuff on the 2nd and 3rd floor wouldn't interest young children (or even teenagers, unless they are studying this particular subject at school and might have an interest).
