Across the Arkansas River lies one of Wichita’s premier suburbs. Northwest Wichita is a prime spot for those looking for more space, or to just escape the cobbles of Old Town. With plenty of local restaurants and contemporary stores, you’ll feel right at home just across the river from downtown.

Visit the Sedgwick County Zoo or settle into a game of golf at Reflection Ridge. There’s plenty of shopping at New Market Square, complete with high-class restaurants and a massive movie theater! You can share in a little fantasy at the annual Great Plains Renaissance Festival that’s put on at Sedgwick Park—just make sure to come in costume.
