Traveler advice
What to pack
Plan for layers!
You never know what the weather will actually be here so it is always good to have a few layers so you are comfortable.
Getting around
Get almost anywhere in 20 minutes
The great thing about Wichita is you can easily commute from one end of the city to the other in under a half hour. You can easily UBER for a ride and most anyone will help with directions if you get lost.
