Established in 1977, the Crown Uptown is located in a historic 1928 vaudeville theatre. It was designed by the famous Boller Brothers and was Wichita's first fully atmospheric theatre.
Before the show, guests enjoy a four-entrée buffet with eight sides, a salad bar and soup. Our buffet selections change throughout the year to provide a variety of seasonal choices. It's important to us that only the freshest and most flavorful items are included. Coffee and iced tea are complimentary. Crown Uptown guests may also enjoy hors d'oeuvres, a delicious dessert or a cocktail at their table. When the house lights dim, the magic begins!
