Located about 15 minutes from Wichita,Kansas is Park City, Kansas.Although Park City is barely a dot on a city map the owners of the new amusement park Wild West World want to change that.Wichita,Kansas nicknamed " The Air Capital City of the World" impressively because it is the largest aircraft manufacturer in the United States with a population of over 350,000 people just last year and that doesn't include the close neighboring cities such as Park City.

Although well known for it's aircraft companies Wichita is not well known for much else.Inside the city limits is the Sedgwick County Zoo,opening in 1969 it has always been a place for families to enjoy together and over the past few years has expanded and renovated to meet and match the ever growing visitors.Also not far is Old Cowtown museum it is a 56 year old landmark that takes you back to the "living history" of the 1800's with real people making blankets,churning butter and tending to animals interesting to see at least once.

More upscale you can visit Exploration Place it is a hands on experience with exhibits such as flight and health.You can watch high tech interactive shows or explore the wetlands and it's inhabitants.Craving a little culture move to downtown."Old Town" over the past 10 years has boomed housing more than 100 restaurants,many which are renovated buildings originally built in the late 1800's early 1900's.

There are plenty of shops,nightclubs,theaters and museums.Speaking of theaters Crown Uptown Professional Dinner Theater offers year round Broadway-style shows and elegant evening buffets and is currently in it's 29th season,as well as adults this dinner theater offers shows for children including a lunch buffet of ' kids' favorites,hot dogs,chicken nuggets,french fries and mac&cheese.

Well, today after being open only two months Wild West World closed it's gates. Went broke in that short a period of time. Must have been one of several factors. One a parking charge, and two a church leader that was putting on services at the park, most people in the area did not care for that concept.

We visited WWW a couple of weeks ago - my granddaughter and me. Loved it but have one comment to make - do not appreciate the carnival attractions. I was surprised there were so many of them and kids love them-grandparents don't. Would take the kids more often if they were not there. Would rather buy something for the kids. Thanks for this opportunity to voice my opinion.
