East Vs. West: Shopping and Entertainment

When it comes to shopping and entertainment, Wichita’s got a pretty clear winner: downtown. Let’s face it. Downtown has it all.

In terms of entertainment, there’s Intrust Bank Arena, Century II, Lawrence-Dumont Stadium, Old Town, the Loony Bin, the Museum of World Treasures, the Old Town Warren and so much more. (Other major attractions like the Wichita Art Museum, Cowtown, and the Mid-American All Indian Center are technically considered downtown per our boundaries.)

So, whether you’re into rock concerts, hockey games, stand-up comedy, theatre, baseball games, history or art, you’ll find something to do in the heart of downtown Wichita.

Downtown also has a variety of great opportunities for shopping and they’re all within close range, allowing more time to shop at each store. In downtown, you’ll find a variety of one-of a kind shops like Uniquities, Tessera Art Gallery, Athena Jewelry, Beyond Napa, Gander Mountain, Lucinda’s and more.

But, downtown isn’t a valid answer in an East vs. West battle, so we’ve got to pick a fair winner.
