The city is named for a waterfall that is no longer there. A small fall on the Wichita River gave Wichita Falls its name in 1876 and washed away in an 1886 flood. In 1987 the city built a 54-foot waterfall beside the river in Lucy Park, and drivers heading south on Interstate 44 can see it from the highway.

Downtown, at Seventh and La Salle, stands the Newby-McMahon Building, 40 feet tall, 18 feet deep and 10 feet wide. Ripley's Believe It or Not! called it the world's littlest skyscraper after it went up in 1919, and the name stuck.

The rest of this page covers Castaway Cove Waterpark, bowling, golf simulators, movie theaters at Parker Square and Sikes Senter, and a few monuments.

About these listings

Every business on this page is listed with public facts only: name, street address, phone number, category and opening hours where we have them. We do not publish reviews, star ratings, review counts or photographs, and we do not publish business email addresses.

Many of these listings do not show a website link. That is deliberate. We compiled them from public records and we would rather a business owner tell us their own URL than guess at it. If one of these is your business, open its listing and use the update link, or request removal. A person reads either request.
