The Kansas Underground Salt Museum - Part I

Note: This post was running close to 1,500+ words. My college papers didn’t even have to be that long. So in order to add in all the fun we had … I’m breaking my post into two different parts. So you’ll have to come back tomorrow to see if I had a panic attack and went all loco de la cabasa while we were down there.

Sometimes … people ask really dumb questions. For instance: my girlfriend/neighbor asked if I wanted to come over for a glass of wine. To me, this is a really dumb question. If it involves wine, food, or an adventure – I’m just not going to say no. Ever. So naturally, when my husband asked if I wanted to go 650 feet underground to a working salt mine … I excitingly asked him when and what time?!

When was the last time you heard someone say, "We're going to Wichita, Kansas" in total excitement? Probably never. Why on earth would anyone want to go to a place known mostly for its cattle-flecked prairies and acres of wheat in the middle of nowhere? It may not be a top vacation pick for most, but I'm here to say that it's so much more than what people think.
Not only is it Kansas's largest city, but it's also the AirCapital of the World. It's home to the Wichita State Shockers. It's where Kirstie Alley calls home and where Emma Stone states she's from in the movie Zombieland. If you're into Rock & Roll, you may remember The White Stripes went to Wichita to "work the straw" in their Grammy award winning song, "Seven Nation Army". Then there's Glen Campbell's popular song, "Wichita Lineman". That's just a drip in the bucket of some of Wichita's shoutouts.

In the Wichita metro area, there are 36 museums, more than 24 attractions, 20 live theatres, 35 art galleries, and 32 golf courses. Most which come with a "Midwestern price". But if you're looking for some quick free fun with the family, I've come up with a list of a few must-see FREE things to do while you're in Wichita.
