Join us for the 64th Annual ADTSEA Conference in Wichita, Kansas at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Wichita Airport. Wichita is home to many exciting attractions and museums including the seventh-largest zoo in the United States and the state's most-visited outdoor attraction, the Sedgwick County Zoo. This one-time cattle town turned modern, booming city, where the spirit of the Old West lives on. To get a feel of the early pioneer days, visit the recreated village at the Old Cowtown Museum. For a slightly more eccentric experience, visit the Museum of Ancient Treasures, which has everything from a baseball signed by Joe DiMaggio to a shrunken head. The Indian Center Museum features works by Plains Indian artists. Wichita is an aircraft manufacturing center, and the Kansas Aviation Museum honors pioneers in the field, as well as housing model planes.
You'll find unending family-fun and educational experiences in every neighborhood of the city, jam-packed with cultural experiences, shopping, and delicious local restaurants. If you're looking for happening nightlife, art and culture, live entertainment, or adult comedy shows, Wichita offers a long list of possibilities. We invite you to explore the area!
