Location:
Little but mighty! Salina, KS is a relatively small community, but offers features and activities found in bigger metropolitan areas. A large arts and humanities scene with theaters, galleries, and other opportunities demonstrated by the rotating collection of sculptures as you walk down historic Santa Fe Avenue. Boutique shopping, breweries, pubs, antiques, and every type of cuisine you can imagine, as well as your favorite chain restaurants fill the streets. The annual Smoky Hill River Festival brings bands, activities, artists, and games. Tony’s Event Center and the Stiefel Theatre host top name entertainment and musical acts. Family friendly activity centers like The Alley and District Eat & Play keep the kids busy. If Salina doesn’t have it, we are a just short 90-minute drive to Wichita and 2.5 hours to Kansas City where you will find major airports and all the things big cities have to offer.
