Hey friends,
This might be the last weekend of truly nice weather before the heat really settles in—so if you’ve been waiting to get out and enjoy some fresh air, now’s your chance!

There’s a lot happening around town this weekend: outdoor movies, BBQ festivals, lavender fields, and a brand-new indoor play area that looks like a game-changer for families.

Plus, Wichita just broke ground on a $300 million biomedical campus downtown—big news that could reshape the future of the city. I cover it all in this week’s YouTube video—check it out here.

Let’s get into it 👇

-Caleb Claussen (your favorite realtor 😉)

If you’ve got little ones (or just need a fun place to burn off some energy this summer), you’re going to want to check out Play & Party Co., opening Friday, June 13th on the west side! It’s located near Central & Tyler, and from what I’ve seen, it looks like an absolute dream for kids.

A mini pretend town, a real sand dig zone, a glam dress-up room, soft play for toddlers, and even a gaming lounge for the older kids. Plus, they didn’t forget about us grown-ups—there’s a parent lounge with snacks and Wi-Fi, so you can actually relax while the kids play.

It was created by local parents who totally get what families are looking for, and I love that it’s designed to grow with your kids. They’ll be offering drop-in play during the day and have party packages too.

💥 Soft Opening Hours:
• Friday: 10 AM – 7 PM
• Saturday: 10 AM – 2 PM
📍 8981 West Central Ave.

🎟️ Pricing:
• Ages 1 & under: Free with sibling / $5 without
• 1 child: $15
• Siblings: $10 each
• Family max (up to 5 kids, same household): $40

No reservations needed—just go play!
