For kids who would rather be outside, Wichita has outdoor party spots with plenty of room to explore. Celebrate with animals at the zoo or a wildlife park, splash at a water park, dig for dinosaurs, visit a farm, ride horses, or play pickleball.
Outdoor parties are at their best in spring, summer and early fall. Many of these venues also have covered or indoor areas, so ask about a backup plan when you book.
Ask each venue about its weather policy before booking. Many have covered areas or will help you reschedule.
Late spring and early fall usually bring the most comfortable weather. Summer parties are popular too, especially at water parks and in shaded spots.
Some do and some let you bring your own. Check each listing and ask about food, cake and cooler policies.
