To get a feel of the early pioneer days, visit the recreated village at the Old Cowtown Museum. For a slightly more eccentric experience, visit the Museum of Ancient Treasures, which has everything from a baseball signed by Joe DiMaggio to a shrunken head. The Indian Center Museum features works by Plains Indian artists. Wichita is an aircraft-manufacturing centre, and the Kansas Aviation Museum honours pioneers in the field, as well as housing model planes. Exploration Place gives children more insights into aviation and other scientific wonders. For nature and wildlife, visit Botanica's lovely gardens or the Sedgwick County Zoo, home to over 350 species of animals. Wichita stays up when the sun goes down: there's nightlife, culture, karaoke and cuisine for all tastes. « less
