All Star Adventures, built in 1995 near Central and Webb, offered a large indoor arcade and outdoor entertainment options, including several amusement rides, batting cages, a go-cart track, and a golf driving range. The company, operating the east side business, as well as All Star Sports in west Wichita, said the closure isn’t due to a lack of customers.

“Our intention was always to renew (the lease). It wasn’t an option listed to us because the seller was selling the whole property for redevelopment, so we didn’t get the option to renew, but we wanted to,” said All Star Adventures and Sports Wichita General Manager Stacie White We didn’t realize the land owner was going to sell the property to somebody else, so once it was sold completely, then our lease was ending, because we were out.”

Management with All Star Adventures now is on to the moving process.

“We’ve started to sell some of the property. We’ve started to sell some of the rides and some of the equipment inside, so there are some people in the community that know that it’s being sold,” White said.

While disappointed with the closure at the east Wichita location, the managers at All Star Sports across town near 21st and Tyler say business is still set to roll.

“Soley due to losing our lease,” White said about the All Star Adventures closure in east Wichita.”

She said both parks have done well.

“There’s nothing else like it in Wichita, that’s why we’re so sad to see the east one go,” White said. “It wasn’t our decision, but definitely the west one is up and going and you can come visit us here.”

White said All Star Sports in west Wichita is secured with a long-term lease.

“So the west location will be up and operating for a long time to come,” she said.
