For nearly 100 years, Wichita has been deeply influenced by the aircraft industry.  The companies started by Clyde Cessna and Walter Beech today remain major economic forces within the city.   The Cessna Aircraft Company is the largest employer in the greater Wichita area and is just three miles from the StudioPLUS Deluxe Studios Wichita - East.   Less than a mile away from the hotel are the facilities of Hawker Beechcraft, Wichita’s third largest employer. 

Other major aircraft companies, including Learjet, Spirit AeroSystems, Airbus, and Boeing, maintain substantial workforces in Wichita and all are within an easy drive of the StudioPLUS hotel. 

Wichita is also a great place to visit, a point punctuated by its 2006 ranking among CNN/Money and Money Magazine’s 10 best U.S. big cities in which to live.  One local attraction that certainly helped lead to this honor is the Sedgwick County Zoo.  Located in northwest Wichita, the zoo is the most popular outdoor tourist attraction in the state of Kansas, and is home to over 2,500 animals representing 500 species.

Just a short eight mile drive from the StudioPLUS is the Exploration Place, a great attraction for children and adults to spend a few hours.  Traveling and permanent exhibits give visitors new insights into our bodies and our world.

If your plans while in Wichita include golf, you will want to visit the Green Valley Greens Golf Course, an 18-hole course just five and a half miles from the hotel.
