Top 5 Things to Do in Kansas
While on assignment in the Sunflower State, make your stay unforgettable!
- Take time out to visit the University of Kansas Natural History Museum. Exhibits at the museum include: Fossils, naturalistic dioramas of birds, mammals, and plants, live bees and fish. It also houses the Panorama, the largest diorama display of its type, depicting animals, plants, and natural environments from the Arctic Circle to the tropics.
- Take off for the Mid-America Air Museum, which boasts the fifth largest collection of military and civilian aircraft in the United States. The museum also houses one of the country's finest 'hands-on' aviation science exhibits, hosts special events like its Liberal Air Show, and features aerospace education.
- If you are a wine lover you can visit one of the many vineyards and wineries the state has to offer. Check out Smokey Hill- the largest grape producing vineyard and winery or enjoy the wildlife and have a drink in the sunshine at Windswept Winery.
- If you want to shop till you drop then Kansas City is a must. You can’t say you have had a true shopping experience in Kansas until you have been to The Country Club Plaza, which features stores to cater to every taste.
- Get in touch with your wild side at Tallgrass Prairie Nature Preserve north of Strong City. Whether you are a birdwatcher, a wildflower lover, a hiker or just have an interest in history, archeology, ranching or architecture, the 11,000 acre preserve will keep you busy.
