The city presents the best of both worlds being large enough to have all the amenities of modern city life but still small enough for people to really get to know one another. With almost 400,000, residents, Wichita is the largest metropolitan area in Kansas and ranks 50th in population nationally. An industrial city, Wichita is a hub for aircraft manufacturing, healthcare products and oil. These industries provide the area with a vibrant economy and a diverse job pool. Specifically, Boeing, Cessna and Bombardier Learjet all play significant roles in Wichita economic life.

If you are unfamiliar with Wichita it offers a variety of neighborhoods including one of the most popular neighborhoods Rockhurst, which offers the residents a lot of amenities. College Hill is an historic district, full of older, genteel abodes. Meanwhile, Old Town is the heart of the city. Comprising three miles, the brick streets give the area an authentic 19th century vibe. But do not be fooled because Old Town also has some of the top restaurants, bars and hotels in the city. Our Wichita florist partners offer delivery to all Wichita neighborhood homes, hospitals and schools so you can celebrate a special occasion today.
Residents and visitors have access to a full range of cultural, entertainment and shopping outlets. Wichita State University (WSU) is always hosting some kind of literary, musical or dramatic performance. Area sports teams play on both the college (WSU) and professional levels. There is the WSU Shockers, along with the professional Wichita Thunder (ice hockey), Wingnuts (baseball) and Force (indoor football).
On warm days, many families enjoy sitting along the banks of the Arkansas River, which runs through the town. 120-acre Riverside Park is another good place to relax. The facility has a zoo, play areas and walking paths.
