The Wichita Theatre was originally built in 1908, and converted to it's current Art Deco styling in the late '30's. Purchased in 1995 by a local family and restored to it's originally glory, the theatre is now owned and operated by local non profit, 4 Kidz Sake of Wichita Falls. Sporting a state of the art operation, the major Broadway shows produced with local talent have drawn the attention of travelers from across the US. Integrated multi-media with modern special effects, incredible staging and costuming make this facility one of the jewels of Texas.

My kids and I love coming here. They have weekly activities and events for kids of all ages. They have a gift shop, native animals on display, they bring in special speakers. They also have a nice, large walk through Atrium, with more native animals, plants and trees, and a beautiful butterfly garden. They also have an outdoor pavilion, and even a small ceremony space for weddings and events. Attached is a large, wilderness area untouched in the heart of the city with several trails, it was so serene and calming. Their mission seems to bring awareness and education about our local ecosystems and wildlife. Including activities for kids with nature, science and history in mind. My kids liked the recent Dinosaur activity, we also seen the archeologist from Dinosaur Train speak. Love this place!!!
