Are you ready for another list of great road trips to take when you’ve got a bit of free time? These quick road trips won’t take a week to complete, and can even be done in a single day, depending on where you live. Why not spend your next weekend exploring one of these Kansas attractions? Let’s check them out.
- Coronado Heights
Robert McLain/Flickr There’s no reason to skip over this miniature castle outside Lindsborg. It comes with a picnic area, hiking trail, and the feeling that you can see for miles.
- Route 66
Mark Cameron/Flickr Did you know Route 66 runs through the southeast corner of Kansas? If you haven’t yet, come check out all the cool things happening down there!
- Alcove Springs
Aaron Hall/Flickr This charming little waterfall doesn’t always do much, but after a rain, you’ll find it’s especially calming.
- Moon Marble Company
Kansas Tourism/Flickr Here is a place you can watch marbles being made by hand, or just take home retro toys and a sack of gorgeous marbles that’ll take you back to the good ol’ days.
- Mt. Sunflower
C. K. Hartman/Flickr This “mountain” is a fun photo opportunity and an adventure where the whole family can bond during the trip. After all, what’s a road trip without family and friends?
- Little House on the Prairie
Sheila Scarborough/Flickr I’ve heard rumors that they’re making a new building for this exhibit, but we still think you should check out what’s standing there today. Imagine what it would be like to have a whole family in a house this small!
- Sternberg Museum of Natural History
James St. John/Flickr This museum of natural history has more than its fair share of creatures from years past. Come see fossils of all sizes, and explore what used to be.
- The Big Well
Chris Murphy/Flickr If you’re not afraid of confined spaces, walking down inside this huge hand-dug well is an adventure you should definitely take. It’s become a museum about the town and the growth they’ve had since that tornado changed the lives of everyone in town.
- Monument Rocks
Laura Gilchrist/Flickr This large rock formation with some parts standing 70 feet tall is always a great place to visit for a little while.
If you’re looking for one more road trip idea that won’t take all week, check out these caves in Kansas that are just waiting for you to explore them. What are some of your favorite places to explore when you have a day or two of free time?
