Hey this place is awesome. They let us use their facility more than once and its nice. I was way…read moreenvious of what they got going on. Clean, new, etc. Thanks again from a small JUCO school.

Home of the Wichita State University Shockers! The "Roundhouse."…read more I grew up watching players like Xavier McDaniel grace the courts of Henry Levitt Arena, so when they built Koch to replace it...I was worried. However, Koch succeeded in keeping everything I loved about Levitt while creating a gorgeous state-of-the-art facility! Koch Arena is known throughout college basketball as an amazing environment, but until you experience it first hand you have no idea! There is not a bad seat in the house (unlike Allen Fieldhouse) due to the high raking seating arrangement creating a very intimate atmosphere. The staff is amazing, the food vendors are great, and the environment is electric! The shape of the domed ceiling causes all the crowd noise to be funneled down onto the court creating a very tough atmosphere for visiting teams. The power behind that noise is the best attribute to Koch Arena; the fans. WSU fans support their teams passionately and when 10,000+ fans assemble for every men's basketball game it is easy to see why this arena has earned the prestige it has throughout college basketball. I have been privileged to get to attend games at many arenas around the world and the United States. When I go to Creighton games at CentryLink Center in Omaha I've been boo'd, shoved, blocked from going to the bathroom, called names, and had objects thrown at me. That would NEVER happen at Koch. We root for our team, we cheer for the win, but we never make opposing teams and their fans feel unsafe. We're Wichitans...we're friendly. So if you live in Wichita and you haven't been to a game, don't miss out. If you are visiting with your team and playing against the Shockers...come on in! We're happy to have you here...we're just gonna win. Seriously, this is the best arena atmosphere in men's college basketball. GO SHOCKS!!!

My wife and I decided to stop by the casino and stay two night as we got comped rooms from the…read moreHampton Inn and we wanted to visit Tanganyika Park. I do not know if I had beginners luck coming to casino, but this casino left a great impression on me. I like they have all sorts of games ranging from low to high volatile machines and I was able to gain at least 5000 tier points. I had a great first night with three handpays. The next day was not so lucky as I gave them back 2K. The following day I left with another 2 handpays. They do a 5% tax however on jackpots which is a bummer, but I guess most states do. They have a smoking and non-smoking session. Their food court is in the middle of the casino floor, but it might be an issue if they have kids as I am not so sure they can enter the casino to eat there and the main places to eat for dining. The casino is located out of the big city, but just 20 minutes away from Wichita and was able to go to the Tanganyika Park. The other good news is no homeless people come here, but you experience this usually in downtown or in Biloxi. They have plenty of drink stations as I usually get a drink. Handpays do not take a long time as most Boyd casinos and they are usually fast. Usually, I would tip, but Kansas state tax takes 5%. I really love this casino and the selection they have. I would definitely come back. I probably will not get 5 handpays this go around like I did, but I lasted at the casino.

So disappointing that you can't have a meal as a family if you stay at the Hampton Inn connected to…read morethe casino. I respect the law of no minors on the casino floor but why isn't there an alternative entrance to the restaurants? ( The steakhouse with the only outdoor entrance was closed the day we went and the security guard implied I couldn't afford to go to it anyway). We will never return.

Our company paid $12k for our fun day and absolutely everyone was seriously disappointed. There…read morewere tons of other patrons that day so it was an absolute nightmare of chaos. The food/drink package was laughably terrible. No drinks, food was cheap, cold fried crap with no condiments, sides, etc. Lockers were broken, pizza machine was broken. Won't return, even if it's free!

The place was much smaller than expected and pretty pricey, but the kids still had a good time…read more It's definitely geared more toward toddlers, with two small slides, a larger pool for older kids and a surf machine that opened up every other hour for the kids which i was surprised didn't stay open all day, and two play areas for the little ones. For adults, there's a swim-up bar and a hot tub, which were nice touches. We ordered a whole pizza for $18.99 it was pretty good and came out in about 10 minutes. The snack bar offered a good variety of reasonably priced options. Admission felt expensive at $30 per person for ages 3 and up. Since we stayed at the attached hotel, we got a $10 discount, making it $20 per person. Still, for a family, it adds up quickly. The arcade was smaller than it looked online and a bit underwhelming. The games used up a lot of points, and the prize selection was pretty limited. As for the drinks at the swim up bar , we paid $19 for a piña colada and a Marsburst, but they were weak sugary with barely any alcohol.Overall, it's a decent spot for locals looking for a quick day out with young kids. But for families like ours who drove three hours to get there, it didn't quite feel worth the trip.
