| Visitors
to Wichita are pleasantly surprised when they discover
that our community offers more than wheat fields and
tornadoes. Not only has Wichita been named an All-American
City three times since 1962, it also ranked among the
top 32 cities nationally for quality of life. These
rankings communicate affordability, short and easy commutes
and a high level of public safety, attributes you won't
find in most other metro areas.

on activities in the Wichita area, please explore the
Community Central
section of our Web site. |
