A couple of hours south of Oklahoma City and Dallas, Wichita Falls is a big town with a small-town feel. The city, set in Northern Texas, is an unusual combination of old-world charm with a modern flair. Since we love finding unique, quirky things about any place we go, it was easy to find a host of interesting things to do in Wichita Falls.
A Little About Wichita Falls
We were recently empty nested and we moved to far western North Texas. We immediately loved the people and places in the area. There’s still a hint of the wild west about the city, but that is set amongst historic homes, famous landmarks, a wide array of art, and global annual events.
The town has over 100,000 people, but it feels intimate. It has an old downtown area that is working hard to regain relevance and the town is home to the shortest Interstate Highway in the world. There are miles of walking trails throughout the city, covering nearly 29 miles roundtrip. Some follow the bend of the Wichita River while some go through parks and near neighborhoods.
The people in the Wichita Falls area are what make it so great, for example, going into a gas station or a quick food place, the kid behind the counter will be cheerful, polite, and make your visit enjoyable. We travel enough to know that’s not the cultural norm of most areas, but it is still normal in the Wichita Falls vicinity.
Oddly, the base is cosmopolitan; outsiders are the norm, but the city of Wichita Falls is tribal. The locals are extremely nice and accommodating but when you grow up with all of this cool stuff as your ‘norm’, you don’t always think to ‘spread the word’ to newcomers. Now, six years in, we hope to offer some discoveries and popular attractions you must experience for yourself.
1. The Wee chi tah Sculpture (Grandkid Friendly & On the Cheap)
Make your way to visit the Wee chi tah Sculpture. Local sculptor Jack Stevens recreated a scene of a family of Native Americans crossing the Wichita River with their horses. It’s significant in several ways- the river is just yards from the piece, the family and horses have symbolic themes, and the interactions between all the figures are thought-provoking.
The horse in the rear of the group belongs to the woman who is at the lead of the group testing the waters. Her horse is nursing her colt, and the woman is encouraging her young daughter to proceed to safety. The men are armed with bows, arrows, and spears still mounted on their horses.
The public can physically interact, the mother’s horse is saddled and looks like the public can hop on for pictures. They are made of metal, however, so every time we have been there it has been way too hot for comfort.
There are legends about a Comanche group naming the area something akin to “waist-deep” as depicted in the sculpture, however, it is more likely the name of the people who lived in the area for hundreds of years.

2. Wee-ch-Tah Mountain Bike Trail
Right off to the side of the Wee-chi-Tah statue is also the trailhead to one of the trails made especially for off-road/mountain biking. The scenic trail wanders in a twelve mile loop, some of which follows the banks of the tiny Wichita River.

3. Kemp Center for the Arts
The Kemp Center for the Arts is home to the Wichita Falls Symphony Orchestra as well as the Arts Council. As the heart of arts in Wichita Falls, they have a beautiful outdoor Sculpture Garden as well as indoor galleries.
The Kemp Center is also home to permanent exhibits of art, as well as ones that change, all highlighting the products of local and regional artists.
Because of the beauty of the building and grounds, it is a perfect place to host special events such as theatre, musical, and dance performances. The historic building also provides a great meeting or event venue as well as a place to attend a variety of art classes.
1300 Lamar Street, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
4. The Ohio Street Bridge (On the Cheap)
From the vantage point the sculptures, you can also see the north end of the old iron bridge. It is closed to traffic now, but passable on foot or bicycle. This stately structure spans not only the waterway but hiking, cycling, and nature trails as well.
The historical significance of the bridge is impressive. The extant span was finished in 1911 and closed to automobile traffic in 1972 but will be with us for its architectural aesthetic and pedestrian endeavors for a long time to come.
Looking north from the bridge center is the now-defunct former grain elevator converted to an also now-defunct indoor climbing and repelling facility. This is absolutely one of our favorites!

5. Endurance House
Even if you don’t run or cycle, this bicycle and running accessories store is a “must” for those of us over 55. There is a certain point in everyone’s life when you refuse to settle for low-budget toilet paper, liquor, and footwear.
That being the case, they are set up to conduct video analysis of your gait and stride and use that information to recommend the shoe that is best matched to your need.
Leah has always worn good shoes, but these professionals helped her to find even more comfortable ones. They also carry a few shoes for leisurewear that have become her go-to sandals. No more foot pain!
The staff is friendly, informative, and very knowledgeable about not only shoes but bicycles too. If you ride scores of miles a week, ride competitively, ride for exercise or transportation, and even if you haven’t ridden in years but think you might ride sometime in the next few months, they have you covered.
The store stocks, orders, tunes, repairs, and customizes bicycles, and provides safety equipment and safety gear.
Address: 5007 Taft Blvd, Wichita Falls, TX 76308
6. River Bend Nature Center (Grandkid Friendly)
This wonderful environmental education center is amazing! Two of our granddaughters from New York visited us over the summer and they took part in some amazing summer day camp classes and created happy memories they will carry for the rest of their lives.
Filled with fun attractions, there is something for the entire family. Follow this link to learn more about RBNC.
One of the favorite attractions is the Ruby N. Priddy Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. Within the 7,000 square foot glass enclosure, the Conservatory is a living laboratory of nature. Along with local wildlife such as quail, prairie dogs, and turtles, they also have over 100 native plant species.
The RBNC also has over 15 acres of scenic trails and wetlands, a library, a gift shop, and a children’s garden. The River Bottom Forest Trail is one of many walking trails set throughout the city.
The summer educational events for children and adults, the Priddy Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, the walking trails, and the rest of the 20 acres are worth the nominal ($4.00-$6.00) entry fee.
Address: 3rd Street, Wichita Falls, TX
7. Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame (Grandkid Friendly & On the Cheap)
One of the many unexpected gems downtown is the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame! Click the link to learn more about the PWHF. They are expanding from the 8th street entrance and moving to the third floor of Big Blue in order to better display and showcase the thousands of pieces of memorabilia. Admission is by donation.
The PWHF has an annual induction and it gets bigger and better every year. Whether you are a wrestling fan or not- this is a must-see for free.
Address: 712 8th St #100, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
8. Local Farmer’s Market
Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, from 7:30, am to 1:00 pm, you will be delighted at the local and fresh produce, foods, and wares available under the pavilion.
The Wichita Falls Farmers Market hosts vendors like a local winery, ceramics, jams, cakes, baked goods, kettle corn, and more.
We have bought several types of fresh fruits and vegetables there and they were really great. Depending upon what is in season, the options change throughout the year.
Bring a cup of coffee and browse. I bet you will find something you need. One tidbit of information- the venue is available for lease to individuals and businesses for events. Come on out and enjoy!
Address: 713 Ohio Ave, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
9. Lucy Park (Fun on the Cheap)
This park is free and it is unbelievable! Reserve one of the two large picnic shelters for up to four hours for only $15.00! This is a great place for a group to meet up for reunions and celebrations on the cheap.
There is so much more to the park than just picnic areas, though. There are many playsets, swings, jungle gyms, and more scattered over the 178-acre park of manicured space.
The park offers many many family-sized picnic tables and lots of those have BBQ grills at the ready. Along the way, you can also follow and play a disc golf course.
Old Cottonwoods and pecan trees and other indigenous hardwoods coincide with colorful annuals and landscaped vistas.
Fly Kites, sit on a blanket in the sun, walk your dogs, or stroll the 1.7-mile trailhead concrete walking path in order to bring your stress level down to zero. Or for a more competitive activity, the park offers 2 sand volleyball courts.
Within the park, there is also a log cabin that can be reserved for meetings or group events. The only requirement to reserve it, however, is that you must be a resident of Wichita Falls. You will have to provide some personal information as well as bring proof of residence such as a water bill if you would like to reserve the cabin.
Spend 30 minutes or all day. Explore the falls or the river.
Address: 100 Sunset Dr, Wichita Falls, TX 76302
10. Village Bowl
The smells of oiled hardwood floors, the shoes, and the sounds of bowling balls and pins are all here. The place is spotless. Have a Coke or something else from the snack bar. The place is open late, make a night of it!
We have gone there with a big group and the staff was so great to work with. Everybody had a great time and there was a little bit of a nostalgia feel to the place.
It is not like some of the huge, new, glitzy bowling alleys. Village Bowl reminds us of the local bowling alley when we were growing up… only cleaner and without the smell of stale cigarettes.
Address: 4022 Kemp Blvd, Wichita Falls, TX 76308
11. Painted Horses
Better known as Mane Event, Wichita Falls is home to 70 or more uniquely painted fiberglass horses dotted around the city. Each of these pieces of art has a story- some are memorials to donors’ family members, some memorialize events in local history or lore, and some are created to bring awe or a smile.
Leadership Wichita Falls’ class of 2007 brainstormed this project which raised over $150,000 to date, benefitting several significant local help organizations. You or your family or graduating class can commission one of these fabulous projects today.
Even if you can’t afford to commission one of your own, it is fun trying to find them all around town. How many can you find? Leave a comment!
Address: All over the city! 🙂
12. Hotter’N Hell Hundred
The brainstorm was born from a conversation within a local cycling group dreaming about a fundraising event when a young member said,
“Let’s host a hundred-mile bicycle ride.”
“When can we put this thing on?”, an older member asked.
“Late August.”
The senior member tried to chastise him, saying, “Son, it’ll be hotter ’n hell.”
And so it is.
And so the event that brings 13,000 committed cyclists to town every year for four days of events was born. Wichita Falls is the hottest place we’ve ever lived (it’s also the coldest, by the way). Known by several titles, Triple H is one of the insiders’ nicknames for this annual phenomenon. Aside from a 100-mile ride, there are tons of other cycling-related events during four of the hottest days on the calendar.
Leah and I rode in this once so far and it is a standout event in our long list of experiences! Although the title includes 100 miles, there are several other, shorter distances that riders can choose.
We chose the 25 mile one and kind of regretted not doing one a little bit longer. We lucked out and had a cooler than normal day for our ride and we could have ridden more given the temperature.
However, we didn’t know at the time and the 25 miles route was still plenty long to give us the total experience.
If you are traveling in, be SURE to book your stay a year in advance if you want a room or an Airbnb closer than OKC, Ft Worth, or Abilene. People come from all over the country for the event and every hotel and rental are always booked solid. You could bring your tent and join the many people that actually camp around the MPEC parking lot.

13. World’s Littlest Skyscraper (a.k.a. Newby-McMahon Building)
Whether this is an embarrassment or an object of pride to the city is up for debate. It is cute and unpretentious, none of us can dispute that. It’s also just the sort of quirky, interesting place that we love!
Local legend says it was proposed to be a skyscraper that would satisfy the newly wealthy boomtown’s need for professional office space, but a swindler proposed a 480 inch, four-story structure instead of a 480 foot, 40 story monument to capitalism. The scale apparently went unnoticed by the buyer until it was too late.
The building is over a hundred years old, has survived fires, tornadoes, neglect, and even scorn, but it has a place in the hearts and novelty photos of locals and visitors to the city alike. There will always be cities that continue to compete for the title of the tallest skyscraper- only Wichita Falls can boast of having the littlest!
Address: 701 La Salle, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
14. Wichita Falls RV Park
You will be greeted by a pair of raring white stallions when you pull into this destination RV park. You will be minutes from several “must-see” places like Lucy Park and River Bend Nature Center.
This park is a step back in time! It is easy to get to, clean, easy in and out, and funky. Aside from being perfectly manicured, the collections of statuary and novel-kitschy lawn decor are impressive. For older travelers, bring your walking shoes and do a thorough browse of the entire park and you will have smiles and awakened memories of many things from decades ago.
Address: 2944 Seymour Hwy, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
15. Back Door Theater
Plan your trip to WF in order to catch a show. This non-profit community theater has produced over 601 Broadway-style shows through the years,
They have a main stage and a dinner stage. Dinner shows are an extra $16 for the dinner, and it is BYOB, but both are optional.
In 2020 the venue suffered a great deal of damage due to a flood, but the resilient staff and volunteers adapted and overcame.
The theater also has a wonderful school for students of all ages. There is a summer academy as well as classes that are conducted throughout the year. I have had lots of students go through the academy as well as the classes and they loved them!
Address: 501 Indiana Ave, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
16. O’Reilly Park (Grandkid friendly & On the Cheap)
This gem is one of many neighborhood parks in town. We like to bring a picnic lunch and sit at one of the several first-come, first-served picnic tables or even the covered pavilion.
Granddaughters love playing on the slides, climbing sets, and even the tunnel to the covered wagon! The park is also part of the surrounding walking trails and is a great place for a mid-walk stop. Much of the area is shaded and even in the scorching heat, it was pleasant.
Address: Bridge & Front Street, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
17. Museum of North Texas History
Located in downtown Wichita Falls, exhibits on ranching, Medical, military, oil and gas, local families, and more are all on permanent display here. This museum not only showcases local lore and memorabilia, it also highlights Texas legends.
Of special interest, is the collection of 500 hats formerly owned by area citizens; the display is ‘Nats Hats.” Nat was a western wear store owner who kept his customer’s old hats when they bought a new one. Character at its finest!
Address: 720 Indiana Ave, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
18. Midwestern State University
This local college produces graduates who are able to make their way in the world. It is known as the University which helps more young people from challenged backgrounds enter the middle class than any other.
The campus is beautiful with old, stately buildings and grounds. Overlooking beautiful Sikes Pond, Sikes Center is available for rent for luncheons, banquets, etc. I’ve attended numerous events there and it has always been nice.
Additionally, the campus is set in the middle of neighborhoods full of historic homes, which become an even more beautiful site during the Christmas season. Train rides are available for tours then and it’s a perfect spot to bring the whole family for a holiday treat.
19. The Wichita Falls Museum of Art at MSU
While visiting the campus, be sure and visit the Wichita Falls Museum of Art at MSU Texas.
The Museum houses over 1600 pieces of American fine art as part of their permanent collection. The pieces are dated from 1677 to the present. Additionally, the museum hosts a rotating collection of different exhibits.
Address: 3410 Taft Blvd, Wichita Falls, TX 76308
20. MSU-Burns Fantasy of Lights
Dusk to 10:00 PM, from Thanksgiving to December 26 every year, the lawn at MSU transforms into a Christmas wonderland. This magical, interactive event began as one family’s lawn display and has become a cherished festive tradition.
It started in the 1920s with a single blue bulb on a tree on the Burns family’s front porch on 10th Street. The family added to and maintained the original display through 1971. After Mrs. Burns passed, the family donated it to MSU, which has carried on the tradition since.
Besides the lights and exhibits, there is also a trolley ride that goes through the surrounding neighborhoods for a trip through houses that are amazingly bedecked with the Christmas spirit. Also, if you are lucky as we were, you might get to see some of the local school children singing Christmas Carols.
Address: 3410 Taft Blvd, Wichita Falls, TX 76308
21. Kell House Museum & Heritage Center
The history of the area is told through the eyes of the Frank Kell family. The home was built in 1909 and retains its stateliness and significance. Period rooms and family treasures from the estate of Frank Kell are on display. This home is a great place for all history buffs to visit.
Outside, the immaculately landscaped gardens offer a serene area to pause and relax. The venue may be reserved for weddings and other events.
Address: 900 Bluff St, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
22. The Falls
Although they are actually considered part of Lucy Park, the Falls themselves are visible and accessible from the street, as well. Like the area, the Falls are changeable throughout the year.
Most of the time they are absolutely beautiful and clear. Other times, the water is as red as that flowing in the Red River just a few miles north, a vivid reminder of the land and water in the area.
And for a brief period of time, the falls may actually be frozen or temporarily turned off because of weather.
Address: Wichita River Trail, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
23. Elvis Always Gifts & Collectibles
Absolutely packed with memorabilia, every Elvis fan owes it to themselves to go by and browse through the shop. They have almost every type of figurine, poster, mug, record, etc. you can think of!
Even if you aren’t in the market for a piece of Elvis memorabilia, you will love seeing all of the multitudes of items in the store.
Address: 1112 8th St, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
24. Wichita Theatre and Opera House
In 1908, the Wichita Opera House opened its doors. Over the next 30 odd years, the Opera House held numerous theatrical performances and had many special appearances by fairly well-known actors and actresses.
The building was remodeled in 1939, at which time it re-opened as one of the movie theaters. Since then, its purpose has come full circle and it now provides theatrical entertainment once again.
921 Indiana Street, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
25. Alley Cat Vintage Mercantile
There are numerous antique shops in downtown Wichita Falls, and all of them are worth a visit. This antique store, however, is in a class of its own,
The store has a huge array of antiques, as is to be expected. Along with all of the old bottles, machinery, glassware, and furniture, they also have a large collection of vintage clothing.
The most exciting part, for me at least, can be found on their 2nd floor. With over 7,000 old vinyl records, their collection is one of the biggest that I have ever seen.
1505 Lamar Street, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
26. Depot Square Historic District
Covering about 6 city blocks, the Depot Square Historic District was designated to honor the past glory of the oil boom years in the Falls area and its significance in the history of the town.
The area includes city landmarks such as the Kemp-Kell building (Now the Holt building) and the Ward building, built by the founder of the Zale Jewelry Corporation.
Along with the brick-paved streets, there is a farmer’s market, the Old Wichita Falls Route Building, headquarters for the Kemp and Kell railroads.
Just down the road, you can find the World’s Littlest Skyscraper in one direction, the Wichita Falls Public Library in the other direction, and the nearby Wichita Falls Railroad Museum.
27. Maniac’s Mansion
Maniac’s Mansion is a must-see for anyone who is young at heart. The owner wanted to create a place where people could play arcade games and eat cereal all day.
For a flat entry fee, you can play any and all of the arcade games in the room, no need for quarters or tokens. It’s a great place to hang out with friends, play alone, or have a party.

Cheesy and a little bit ‘Touristy’ but Grandkid Friendly
28. Castaway Cove Waterpark
Castaway Cove
Castaway Cove is a commercial enterprise open during the summer and has every way imaginable to cool off. This one is a little more touristy, but it is also a favorite attraction for grandkids!
We have actually never been to this particular one, there are always other places to go and things to do when the grandkids are visiting, but I have had lots of friends and students that have highly recommended it.
With the wave pool, swimming pool, wading pool, kid pool, and water slides, water parks are always one of the best things to do to keep cool in the summer.
Address: 1000 Central E Fwy East, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
29. Chuck E Cheese
Who can resist a chance to take on the grandkids in a Skee-ball challenge when you might be able to buy tickets!!! Hey folks, we don’t have to wait for a birthday to make a fun day happen.
We’ve noticed it’s usually us grandparents who usually pick up the tab here and we also noticed they sell beer and the pizza doesn’t suck. Coincidence? You decide.
Address: 2935 Southwest Pkwy, Wichita Falls, TX 76308
30. Urban Air
Another chain, but one our grandkids really love! The indoor trampoline ‘park’ is not just for kids, either. With all different types of areas for jumping, sliding, and climbing, Urban Air has something for everyone.
It is definitely not On the Cheap, but if you are looking for something to do indoors that will wear out the kiddos, it will do the job!
There is a waiver that parents/guardians must sign before you can enter the park, but you can go online and do that ahead of time.
Also, along with the entry fees, everyone has to have Urban Air socks; no personal socks are allowed. You can wash and reuse the socks on subsequent visits, but know ahead of time- you will have to buy socks there in order for everyone to enter.

Cool Places to Eat
31. Scott’s Drive-In
Put Scott’s on your calendar for lunch! Located at 4701 Old Jacksboro Highway this is like stepping back into my childhood; order from the car, but don’t expect a Sonic drive-in experience. This is a leisurely-paced establishment and although the food is better than today’s fast burgers, the wait time is a little longer.
When we were there, an older gentleman in a white dress shirt, paper burger-hop hat, and long blue apron was the only one waiting on cars. The food was definitely worth the wait, however.
There were 12 car lanes and they were all full most of the time while we were there. This is obviously a place the locals know about and don’t want the word to spread too much.
If you’re ready to go back in time, drive up, park under the awning, and push the red button. We had bacon cheeseburgers, fries, and onion rings and shared a large Root Beer and the total was less than $25.00.
Address: 4701 Old Jacksboro Hwy, Wichita Falls, TX 76302
32. El Chico
Friends, if you would like to experience an authentic late 1960s restaurant and step back into your childhood like at Scott’s Drive-In, come to this place too.
The menu is barely touched over the decades. The decor is probably original to the franchise opening and so are the booths and tables.
The place is old, nevertheless, the food is good and comforting. The kitchen and waitstaff are professional and attentive. And the prices are still low.
If you’re in town or visiting Sheppard, look them up and give a visit. I’d love to see what you think of the place, leave a comment.
Address: 2801 Southwest Pkwy, Wichita Falls, TX 76308
33. Gutierrez Family Restaurant
Yes, baby! Sketchy neighborhoods after dark and amazing Tex Mex can coexist. The reviews are amazing because the food is amazing. Of course, you can have your margaritas frozen or on the rocks.
Address: 513 N Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Wichita Falls, TX 76306
34 The Original Casa Manana
Don’t leave 8th Street without stopping in and experiencing the Red Taco. I can’t describe it, but I eat a lot of them.
The ambiance is something you have to experience to understand. The booths are tiny, cramped, and uncomfortable. The food is cheap and unique, but good and filling.
Oh yes, the house-served tortilla chips they bring out to every table with all the salsa you can use cannot be found anywhere else. These chips alone are definitely worth a trip from Oklahoma or even Washington state.
Address: 609 8th St, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
35. 8th Street Coffee House
Downtown Wichita Falls is packed with really cool places to go and fun things to do. 8th Street Coffee House is one of those that provide both along with fabulous food. This coffee shop is one of the best places to grab lunch and they offer a wide variety of specialty offerings. If you are looking for interesting, delicious food, this is the place to come.
On the weekends, they have live music in the evenings. You can eat while listening to great, local, live entertainment.
They have recently moved up the street, as the former building would get VERY snug quickly. It’s that good!

Cool Car Exhibits
You can browse classics just to enjoy or you can browse to buy!
36. P’s Crazy Car Museum
Patterson’s Crazy car museum is the place to go to see rides from the past, vintage cars, and so much more, You can spend hours looking at the approximately 25000 square feet of exhibits. It’s free. It’s attended by local historians and it is unforgettable.
Do NOT be fooled by the uninspiring exterior! We were completely blown away by the museum. And if you don’t already know who Loyd Ruby was, (Ruby Flyover) then you have definitely come to the right place!
Also, the museum is ONLY open on Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., so plan accordingly. It is absolutely worth carving out some time to visit!
Address: 1602 Midwestern Pkwy, Wichita Falls, TX 76302
37. Lone Star Muscle Cars
If you’re in the market for the classic or custom car of your dreams, or just love to look at them, head west on Kell, and just as you leave town, on the right, you will find Lone Star Muscle Cars.
If you want a one-of-two Saleen Mustang, a split window ‘63, or just that car you had when you were 19 and wish you’d never sold, it’s here.
This place is a business, not a museum, so I would be courteous of their time, but the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Address: 7592 Seymour Hwy, Wichita Falls, TX 76310
Bonus:
Wichita Falls Brewing Company and Hook and Ladder Winery
On your way to the World’s Littlest Skyscraper, be sure and stop into Wichita Falls Brewing company for a craft beer in a place with a cool vibe. Or go across the street to Hook and Ladder for a glass of wine. Both offer a great tasting room where you can sample their fine selections.
Wichita Falls Regional Airport
Wichita shares its municipal airport with Sheppard Air Force Base, an integral training facility for not only the United States but our NATO Allies as well. Our allies send members of their armed forces to Sheppard so they can participate in our top-notch training program.
A visit to Wichita Falls Regional Airport not only provides an easy way to enter and exit the city, but it also is home to a small museum of aircraft housed locally by our armed forces. If you are a fan of historical aviation, it is definitely worth the short drive to get there.
Lake Arrowhead State Park
And just a few miles away, you can visit Lake Arrowhead State Park. As with many state parks, Lake Arrowhead offers fishing, skiing, camping, hiking, disc golf, and horseback riding.
