Great trail with some beautiful views, they maintain it meticulously and everything is clearly marked

I would highly recommend going in the early morning when they allowed access to the station. At 7 am, really peaceful and beautiful scenery not over crowded multiple routes to take

This is a great trail. There is a small, medium, and long loop. 2.5 miles for the smalls, 4.4 miles for the medium, and 6.0 miles for the long. There is plenty of parking. There are no dogs allowed. I recommend boots because the trail can get muddy. It has some beautiful views and is very windy. There also plenty of animals you’ll most likely encounter along the way like deer and turkey. I recommend going to the bathroom before hiking because there are only 2 bathrooms on the trail. They are both very close to the beginning of the trail.

We had a great time. The views were amazing and the trail was well kept. We got there just as some soldiers were finishing PT and the trail was pretty clear of other hikers. We took the shorter trail due to have three children with us, and it was a great choice.

Not only a first-class example of long-term research and conservation, but also a great place for a hike! But do NOT bring your dog, please! If people keep ignoring the rules and bringing dogs they will have to close access to preserve the research and we’ll all lose out. If you come, make sure you hike to the lookout spot, it’s an amazing view of tallgrass and gallery forests. Worth the trip down McDowell Creek road, for sure.

This is one of my favorite hikes. there are no dogs aloud which may be inconvenient but at least you don't have to worry about stepping in dog droppings. There is also a suggested two dollar donation, for maintenance. Never seen any trash so I believe it's worth it also many butterflies and animals

Beautiful views and nicely marked trails. This is a hiking only trail so no bikes or pets allowed because it is a biological station. This also means you need to remain on the trails as the land surrounding it is protected. I would highly recommend going early when it opens at 6 am if you want to beat the family groups.

We love going to this zoo! It is spread out enough that you can take your time and not feel like you are rushing through to allow others to visit each animal as well. They also have several more private observation areas where you can sit on benches and slow down and watch! The crew there does a great job of keeping the facility clean, and we constantly see zookeepers in the habitats working with the flora, fauna, and animals to maintain their needs. It is not a huge zoo where you need to plan a whole day to go through, but an afternoon visit is perfect!

Small town zoo, so it doesn’t have a ton of animals but it was with the $6/ticket! Nice walking path, clean park. They had a penny machine! So that made it really worth it! Bathrooms were clean.

Visited Sunset Zoo today, quite the experience, I felt very at ease and peace walking around the animal exhibits. The zoo itself is so clean and very well taken care off. Some animals were not available due to cold weather so we look forward returning even maybe volunteering. We loved it. A place of education and kid fun. The views are spectacular. I highly recommended bring your kids and family for a day of fun and knowledge.

It's a small zoo but really nice considering the size of city that it's in. Facilities are all clean and kept up. Animal enclosures are in good condition. They do a great job considering their size and budget. It was fun getting to come back here for the first time in 20+ years and see some of the changes that have taken place as well as show my son something I enjoyed as a kid.

I enjoyed my time at this zoo. It isn't very large but it is easy to walk, the landscaping is pretty, and the animals are easy to view. One of the pelicans was playing with a pair of sticks which was interesting to watch and the gibbons were very playful with one another on the day I visited. We paid to feed the tortoise and my daughter loved it. My only complaints are water availability and the amount of shade in the enclosures. My daughter was thirsty but the two vending machines we found were out of stock, one water fountain was out of order, and the gift shop had a full refrigerator with every drink but water. We eventually found a working water fountain. A number of animals were up against the glass which made for great viewing but the reason it happened was because it was the spot with the most shade at that time of day so I'd love to see more shady areas provided for them. I'll still definitely make another visit as we enjoyed the zoo overall a lot.

Cool little zoo in the little apple. It is great for the price. The whole zoo takes approximately 2.5 hours to get through and costs $6 per adult. There is plenty of parking and there is food in the zoo. The exhibits focus most on Asian and Australian animals. Highlights of the trip are the monkeys and sloth bear.

It was great! A lot of interesting animals. I noticed a lot of the animals needed water because it was sooo hot outside. Some exhibits are closed, like the entire main building. Navigating the zoo was also somewhat difficult. But so fun overall!

Always beautiful, peaceful, and therapeutic! I think Anne Shirley (of Avonlea fame) would say that the paths and benches and flowers and shade and fountains = a place with "so much scope for the imagination!" 💜 It's a wonderful place to wander or sit. Great to visit with friends or enjoy a moment of solitude. Currently Tulips are fading out and Peonies & Irises are budding and beginning to bloom

Beautiful flowers, fountains were amazing, butterflies were so fun to watch and the insect zoo was very cool. Might have been my favorite part of the campus.

Oh my good heavens! This is absolutely hands down the most beautiful place I've seen in my life. They do a really great job of curating the flowers especially this time of year the iris and the peonies. Absolutely drop dead gorgeous! And each set has name plates so you can tell what they are just in case you want some of your own. Last month the Tulips looked equally as impressive and I hear June is for lilies with Rose's later in the summer. There's usually plenty of parking and you can take your time. There is some construction as they're building a new water feature, but it doesn't really interfere. Plus it's free, so what's better than that?

The K-State Gardens are a beautifully maintained mix of themed areas, showcasing both native Kansas plants and unique ornamental varieties. It’s peaceful and educational, with labeled displays that make it easy to learn while you stroll. A great spot for photography, quiet walks, or simply enjoying nature in Manhattan.

Been here a few times, once with my wife years agobfor a photo shoot, then back eith my son to take more pictures!!! Such a beautiful place full of butterflies if you get there in season!!!! Highly recommend

May is the perfect time to see the irises and peonies in full bloom! I also enjoy seeing the gorgeous crapemyrtles in bloom later in the summer. If you need ideas for your garden, this is the place to go as the plants are tagged with the plant names and varieties. Plan on spending at least an hour as there is a lot to see!

New global Center for Grain and Food Innovation

The staff here was amazing and so knowledgeable! Very educational and the collection was amazing. Though it is a small building, they have sections that allow you to breathe and take in all of the wonderful specimens. My family truly enjoyed our visit and then after we made our way through the adjoining KState botanical gardens to see the new fountain and watch the bees bumble. Amazing quick afternoon trip!

This was a great experience! It’s a beautiful building which has history in its self. We spent about an hour and 30 minutes here, saw a lot of insects. The girl working in here was very friendly and informed. The cutter ant exhibit was cool to watch this is interesting for kids and adults. The gardens outside are beautiful and everything is labeled.

This was awesome my kids absolutely had fun!!! They love bugs .

SOOO cool! Would be amazing to bring little kids too! I had a little bit older crowd so we ran right through the whole thing- but you could tell the toddlers that were there really enjoyed themselves!! We did have to wait outside before they had enough room though- So I would recommend going and checking in first, and if you must wait wander around the garden WHICH IS GORGEOUS!!

Very cool place and only $3/person. The kids loved it but was really interesting for adults too!

This is such a cool place! It's not a large building, but they've fit some very interesting specimens throughout. There's a neat interactive household pest exhibit, a table for kids to learn the lifestyles of several types of insects, and a microscope that projects on a larger screen. The leafcutter ant and honeybee setups are super cool. The woman at the counter was also very friendly. For $2.99 per person, you can't beat the price.

Fantastic little zoo full of insects, spiders, and scorpions. The stick bugs are super cool in their habitats that highlight how well they camouflage themselves. When we went, they put a bunch of leaves in the ant habitat and it’s AMAZING how quickly the ants cut those up and take them to the nest.

My family is obsessed with the Discovery Center! So filled with various experiences, we have now seen four of their specialty exhibits and each one was interactive, fun, and soooo informative. My kiddos (13 and twins 8) have spent countless hours exploring and we always find something we missed the last time, even in the permanent exhibits. I highly recommend this museum, it is our favorite rainy day location!

It's a nice place w/friendly staff. I was a bit underwhelmed by the "great dinosaur area." Our 4yr old granddaughter loved this place! They did have a few cool play areas for kids.

First of all, I would like to personally thank Director, Susan Adams for providing me with a lot of helpful information prior to my visit. I’ve wanted to visit The Flint Hills Discovery Center for a number of years, and I’m SO glad that I’ve finally been able to! There’s a film in a small theater that provides guests with a historical background about The Flint Hills. The exhibits are VERY hands on, and are all about the preservation and culture of The Flint Hills. It’s a VERY serene and calming environment, as are The Flint Hills. This would be a great place to bring a group of students on a field trip, and there’s a lot of fun activity sheets for them to engage in. I would also point out that this can also serve as a community center because there’s several rooms available to hold any kind of event. The kids have a great deal of fun on the second level in The Prairie Playscape. If you go up to the third level, that takes you outside to where you have amazing views of The City of Manhattan. On the first level, as soon as you enter, is a gift shop with all sorts of unique Kansas products. The staff are VERY friendly, knowledgeable and can assist you with ALL things Manhattan.

This place saved my sanity with two little ones. They have wonderful programs such as nature together for children 18 months to 3 years, and preschoolers in the flint hills for kids 3 and up. The staff got to know us after being here for so long and felt like family. Membership is definitely worth it! Exhibits change frequently and kids are always engaged with the new sights to see.

We had a great time here with our kids age 4 and 2. They loved the area on the second floor with all the interactive play stuff for kids. They even liked walking around the rooftop garden on the third floor and going down the stairs to see more flowers. It was all clean and well kept.

A must visit for all ages! The exhibits are well done and informative on the history of the prairie. The movie is amazing with great visuals and special effects. For us the highlight was the pollinator gardens surrounding the building! Make sure you go up to the 3rd floor for the view and then take the stairs down around the outside to read all about the native plants and see the bees and butterflies at work!

I enjoyed the flint hills festival. The movie at the discovery center was amazing. If you have never been it is a must. They have summer camps he that my kids just love. They go on field trips here in town to places I've never been. Every day was like an adventure for the kids.

We visited the Kaw Mission State Historic Site on July 31, 2025, and absolutely loved it. The site offers a fascinating look at the history of the Kaw (Kanza) people and early Kansas settlement, with well-curated exhibits and peaceful grounds. The museum attendant was exceptionally helpful and friendly, answering our questions and sharing insights that brought the stories to life. If you’re passing through Council Grove, KS, this is an excellent stop—educational, memorable, and well worth the time. Highly recommend!

It's a little place that is rich with American history. It's not exciting, and I wouldn't recommend bringing children to visit as there is not much for them to do but run around on the lawn. It's great if you are interested in Native American history and how the natives were actually treated. Overall I felt a sense of sadness when visiting this place and reading the signs around the yard.

As of 2019, it was bring renovated to become an official Santa Fe Trail museum.

A very fascinating museum. Very well done covering all aspects of native people groups thru the Santa Fe trail. RUN don't WALK to visit this gem!

This is a very good museum with information on the native peoples and the history of American/native interaction. There's also good displays on the Santa Fe trail. It's all well presented and well worth a visit.

A nicely restored Indian Mission with excellent displays. Very helpful and knowledgeable volunteers from the historical society to assist. It's worth a visit.

This is a fabulous museum. The exhibits were professional and informative. The staff was polite and knowledgeable. This museum is well worth a visit

Fun roadside type attraction (in town). Good historical content from the various movies and you can sit and watch the entire movie in their movie theater if you have the time. Gift shop is cute and even has a wind tunnel to experience tornado winds. A bit expensive for a whole family to visit but worth the stop for a one time visit.

Great staff. Wide selection of Oz items on display & a great selection of merch to pick from. We love to get the souvenir penny any chance we see a machine, they had one. They also have the coin holder for the smashed pennies. Good stop. We spent about 20-30 minutes here stretching our legs but you could easily stay over an hour. We take photos of the signs and read them when we get to where we’re headed so we breezed through quickly.

Made an 8 hour drive to visit Kansas and this was on our to do list. Admission was only $10 per person and you can go at your own pace. A lot of replicas but a fun experience and loved all the facts throughout. A lot of photo opportunities throughout as well. Nice little gift shop attached and the lady at the counter was super friendly. After this we followed the yellow brick road and found all the Toto’s in Wamego. Cute town and enjoyed the museum.

This place was great! It had lots of scenes with all the characters and movie items. It had a theater playing the Wizard of Oz continuously. Also a hot air balloon basket you can go in for pictures. And don't forget the gift shop! It has a tornado machine that you can go in that simulates a real tornado! Well worth the $10!!!!!!

There is room to park anything within a two block radius of the museum. So don't worry if you're in your RV, stop by! G is a super fan of Oz. He really enjoyed himself! Well worth the money to get in.

Loved it. Our girls saw ‘Wicked’ recently and our 4 year old is really into wizard of oz. We may even dress like it for Halloween. What a wonderful place they’ve created in Wamego, Kansas! Currently there’s an online ticket promotion we were able to access and didn’t cost us but 10 dollars for the 4 of us. Workers here obviously love their job and know ALOT about the history and the original movie. I’m sure we’ll be back. If you haven’t made the trek and you’re a local, you HAVE to check it out!

If you are a Wizard of Oz fan, and you are near Wemango Kansas, this is a must see! They have over 2000 items on display, documentaries playing and even the movie itself. Plus of course a gift shop with many different things to purchase. Well worth the $10 adult admission fee.

We enjoyed our visit to the Oz Winery. Flights of wine are moderately priced 3 x 2oz for $10 and 5 x 2oz for $15. Plus 2 free 1 oz samples. They have food items (cheese, salami, crackers, and chocolates) on site as well as jams and honey. Our server, Deb, was sweet and helpful.

We stopped by the OZ Museum and enjoyed a wine tasting experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, and they gave us a great explanation about Kansas wines. Thank you!

We love this place. It’s always clean and the staff are always so friendly. Great wine tastings, packaged snacks (cheese, crackers, chocolates), and a comfortable space to relax. If we are driving through KS, we intentionally stop in Wamego to visit Oz Winery (even if the stop is just for 20 minutes to visit the winery) and we always leave with at least one or two bottles of wine. We’ll be back!

Had an Oz-some time at the winery yesterday! I loved the Oz theme and the wine was great. The wine and souvenirs were both reasonably priced and it was hard to choose! Sue and the other workers went above and beyond and made it a FANTASTIC. I will most definitely be back.

Very friendly man greeted us. Dog friendly if your dog can behave. Tried some wine. Bought some wine. It's very cool that it's Oz related. Stop in you won't regret it.

We had a great visit with Sue, and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Loved the selection of wines. Being only about an hour away, we definitely have added another stop on our travels.

The place is perfect going of a theme of the wizard of OZ all there bottles have a unique name/label based of it like Squished Witch. They are all different types of table wines not aged they all still have a unique delicious taste. They have a free limited tasting perfect for me as we came into town as a day trip. Seems like it would also be a fun place to just sit and have a glass with maybe some of there artisan cheese or chocolate. Bottle prices are reasonable with the quality of the blend and the creative oz theme. If I’m ever back in town will be back though definitely at some point will order online from this local small business.

A beautiful park! We visited during the Wamego Tulip Festival and had a great time, and took some great pictures. We will visit again.

Love the beautiful scenery. Very quiet, very clean..

BEAUTIFUL little gem of a park! Love to come here on my break while I'm out here delivering packages for Amazon! The little train that runs through here is so neat too! Very nice! ❤️❤️❤️

A nice park, though the playground is pretty big. So it can be a little tough to keep track of your kiddos of you have a few, or more. Especially when there are a lot of other kids there, which happens somewhat often. Pretty little pond, and a fun little train for the kids to ride on, when it's running, which definitely isn't all the time.

This a very beautiful little park. Stopped there on our way home and had a great walk around it. The pond is very clean with some cool critters and it really adds to the scenery. The park is also very clean and awesome, the tall trees are gorgeous.

Definitely a place to come back without the Tulip festival crowd. And Definitely not worth the visit for the tulip festival. I was under the impression the festival was going to have more tulips involved, but that was not the case. Anywyas 5 stars because I'll be Definitely be coming back, to have my girls run around. The playgrounds are amazing and its equipped for ALL ages. Worth the 45 mins. Drive from JC

Looks like a very nice park. It even has a little kiddie train that children can ride on tracks that go around the eastern section of the park. It's playground is also very green to go for that Emerald City vibe and there’s an aquatic center to the south. Pretty cool.

It’s a cheese store attached to the gas station, not really the creamery. That’s ok, just not 5 stars. I like the cheese I bought but they don’t taste so fresh (Mediterranean flavored cheese curds). I did buy the habanero ghost pepper cheese (proper spicy), horseradish Monterey Jack, and you get a “free” 8oz longhorn co-jack if you spend $20. All quite tasty and I like to sample local cheeses.

Stopped here which was part of the gas station and convenience store. All kinds of standard flavored cheese, cheese curds and spreads. Costs more but I’m sure when we taste it at home it will outshine anything from the grocery store.

This was a pleasant surprise! The workers were helpful. The samples were yummy and definitely convinced us to make a purchase. We got snack boxes to eat on the road and cheese for home.

They don’t offer custom boxes of any kind and were fairly rude. I’ve been to tons of cheese shops and they’re normally fantastic experiences but these girls in this place are rude. Proceed to talk shit about the customers in front of them. Skip this one and try the one in Green Bay Wisconsin much better service there

OMG, THE CHEESE!! So many kinds, so many unique flavors! They even had samples to try before you bought a big portion. They had gift boxes/baskets available, and when I was there, they had a special where you got a 1 lb brick of sharp cheddar free when you spent $40 or more. Which, of course, I did. The prices were a tad higher than expected, but everything is that way these days, it seems. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. (Try the cheese curds!)

My wife and I love cheese & had our doubts about a cheese shop attached to a gas station along a freeway. Surprise! Their sharp cheddar was the best we've had in taste and texture. The other cheese varieties were also excellent. Too bad it's so far away from our home.

The cheese was excellent, particularly the smoked cheddar. We stopped in to figure out why it was called squeaky cheese and it has to do with how the high protein count of the curds interacts with the calcium on a person's teeth.

Stopped by here as a last minute stop and it was perfect! Though we weren’t sure if we were in the right place due to having to go down the dirt road. But at the end of it is a big winery and there shop. The $5 tasting flights are worth it! Had fun tasting some wine and looking around at other Kansas items. Though it seems like it would be a perfect place for big events we didn’t really have time to explore the actually vineyards. Though the person was really friendly and informative about all the different wines we tasted and any questions we had. There were also some really unique artist items around the shop for sale. Defiantly going to have to look into there different event they have and plan a trip back out.

We absolutely love this place. They have a lot of seating covered and uncovered. The staff and owners and very helpful and knowledgeable. They are also very personable. I can’t say enough good things about this place. And of course, the wine is delicious! We will be back (over and over again) and we highly recommend that you come out for a visit.

Absolutely phenomenal! Bob (the owner) and Brie (the dog) were amazing hosts. Bob is personable and talked to every patron at every table. The wine tasting was amazing. We took home a bottle of our favorite wine from the tasting and a growler of Red Sangria. We sat outside, listened to live music, ate from an assortment of available local charcuterie items (the vineyard provided a knife, pair of scissors, plates, napkins, and forks if needed), and walked around the vineyard.

On our way from NC to Denver, CO to relocate we stopped here to take a break. It was a magically pleasant experience. Before the road trip people told us to sprint through Kansas because there would be nothing there - they clearly didn't pay attention to the Flint Hills area not this winery. Ron did our tasting and we talked to the owner as well. Both were just beautifully kind people and they let us take our dog off the leash to run free in the field. That was much needed after being in the car for 3 days. STOP HERE! You will see the beauty in Kansas!

Omgosh! This place is phenomenal! I love how it's off the beaten track so you can really enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. The wine was excellent and the sangria was simply magical! Ron did a wonderful job explaining the different flavors and styles on each bottle overall making us feel welcomed and helping us understand a little more about all wine in general! Super impressive place and hope to go back soon!

Loved this place! Friendly and knowledgeable staff who assisted in finding a great wine to enjoy. Lots of good options for both white and red; they even carry rosé and some champagne. Great local cheese and summer sausage options as well. Be sure to walk through their vineyards for the best views of the hills. The place has the look and feel of being at home.

Stopped by here heading back to Kansas City for our flight. Made time to do a tasting which was great. The varieties available can be enjoyed by any palate. If we had more time we wouldve sat down and eat some cheese and sausage. If you have time driving down I-70 definitely make the detour.

We used to love coming out here to play. Anymore, the machines are just tight! We hardly ever see anyone really winning any jackpots. The free play offered is so low compared to what I receive most other places. We ordered a pizza, had to wait 45mins, not a huge deal, as they were busy and I understood that. But when we received the pizza, it was severely Burnt! The response, we'd have to wait another hour now to receive a new one, nonrefund offered. We should have been put in front since we had already waited. We just went to bed.

We stayed in the RV park and the casino games were fun! RV park was safe and had a clean bath house. Only recommendation would be that the casino have an easier and accessible path to enter the casino. I use a wheelchair for my mobility.

Mold in room!! I was willing to give a good review but they removed me after a $10 bet on a table and they didn’t register. I’m huge on this rate business and they were very unfair. I disrupted a minor craps bet and it took 4 high ups to kick me off the premises. It is a money grab play on casino money! Cheers to anyone who play this crooked house.

So last year I visited this same hotel and gave it 5stars .. on this last visit( my Birthday) it was obvious that something had changed.. I was told at the desk that my room was a walk out not the case in fact my window view was of a unkempt dog run.. I went to this hotel with several friends and we each had our owns rooms so lots of traveling in the halls.. To my surprise the halls reeked of marijuana smell and upon entering our rooms they also smelled like marijuana ( probably through the ventilation) my friend was also awakened in the early morning hours to someone crying and the sound of Police or Security radio’s .. I asked an employee at the hotel if it was legal to consume marijuana on the property because I had seen on the hotel tv channel that they grow marijuana on the reservation and since this was a reservation I thought just maybe it is illegal! She said no in fact she had heard others complain about this issue and some received partial refunds on their rooms… So this tells me they are well aware of this issue! I really love the Prairie Band Resort and would like to make this a yearly trip but I am now not sure because I consider these issues pretty drastic compared to a year ago.. I will add that the Spa is 5 stars all way ! It is clean, and so pleasant! We all enjoyed every service that we had there! Spa staff is amazing! They are the initial reason I planned my Birthday celebration there! Kudos to everyone at the Spa!! However, I hope that the management for the hotel resort will step up their game( no pun intended ) and get a handle on the aforementioned issues!

The hotel is really nice now that they have added on. There are inside and outside pools, a game room, and a golf swing place. Beware the bathtubs are really high, like really high and deep. Very hard to get in and out of. Rooms are fairly clean but this one could have used a deep clean, wipe off walls, back of bathroom door and walls in bathroom by toilet (2070). Ate at the buffet in the morning. Most of the food was hot but the sausage looked and tasted like it had been made at 5am for 7am opening. The waitress informed me that they make eggs, omelets and pancakes to order. It is not advertised and this was the way to go to make sure food was hot Waitress was so nice and took really good care of me. Was here for the Craig Morgan Concert and it was awesome! It's a small venue and definitely the way to go! Beer/wine counters before you go in and eady to see no matter where you sit (open seating) and doors open at 530, concert starts at 7pm, no opening act which is nice.

We stayed for six nights. We asked them to clean our room half way through and were told they couldn't come in while guests were checked in. The room had no table, no drawers for clothes. It did have a refrigerator and a microwave which was lovely. Highly recommend the pool and spa. And the manager, Gina, was exceptional. Would visit again, just not for such a long stretch.

The room was clean, but smelled like smoke. Not recent but the kind from when it was smoked in but they quit 5 years ago. Service at every spot was fantastic. Every spot really. Just over an hour from KC. Facility was well cared for. We went to a comedy show...it was great. All in all it was well worth it.

One of the best courses I’ve ever played. Hands down the #1 or #2 ranked course in Kansas depending on who you believe and it’s deserving of both. This gem stay and play brings groups from as far as St. Louis and myself from OKC and if you are within the area you have got to play here. Tee boxes and fairways are insane. Greens are tough so bring your A game. If you hit it off the fairway make sure you keep an eye on it as the blue green fescue will hide your ball. I found dozens of balls within inches off the fairway that others just couldn’t see. 😇 Tip: if you shoot around the high 80’s or higher, leave the PRO V 1’s at home. This place will eat em up! Carts have GPS and will help navigate precise shots which are needed on so many holes as the course is hard even for this 10 handicapper. I played the Buffalo tee box and shot an 82. Driver can often bring trouble into play on several holes so prepare for a little disappointment even when a good tee shot looks like you’ve found the fairway. The casino and hotel are just next door , the pro shop has a nice selection of logo items and the quaint clubhouse grille is very accommodating. There are plenty of on course water stations and restrooms. Don’t worry about whatever you pay to play. It’s a legit 5 Star course and it beats most resort courses. Well done Firekeeper 🔥!!

Valet service was exceptional. S/O to Brandi. Definitely had a blast during my stay. Cant wait to revisit next year!

Fun round and unique track. It can play more difficult than the rating and slope leads on with the winds on exposed holes, but fairways are wide and conditions are phenomenal. Great experience from start to finish!

Nicest course I’ve ever seen. Such a great staff as well. Had a minor inconvenience and they were quick to jump on it and wanted to make it right. Loved the whole experience for our group.

Great course! Several par 3's that were tough on us but a really fun course to play!!

I thought course was really nice and very difficult. There were no tee markers out and the bunkers need some attention. Otherwise I would have rated a 5. The clubhouse staff is great!

We played here on 04/13/2024 and were extremely disappointed. In the past, ride alongs were accepted when walking on. It was brought to our attention that this is not the case on weekends any longer and after severe back and forth our Ride Alongs were granted with a $40 upcharge. Nowhere is this stated on their website. Also the course was not in great shape at all and did not justify the $135 green fee. Multiple fairways were gouged by what appeared to be the guidearm from the mowers, tee box's were bare dirt in various prime spots, multiple sections approaching the green were flooded and the bunkers were concrete solid which guaranteed a gouge on your wedge if you hit into them. This will be my first and last time playing at this course which is a huge shame after reading the rave reviews from the past!

I visited the Kansas Museum of History and was moved by the history of this area. I learned that Kansas was actually the "Wild West" we saw in the cowboy western movies. The United States was in a time of terrible transition. I read actual letters written by Kansas Mothers to the President of the United States begging for some type of assistance. The Dust Bowl and the Great Depression took its toll causing death and destruction. Children were dying of starvation; families had to abandon their farms and move to cities to survive. It was a terrible time in US history. It you like history, this is the real deal!

⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ Beautiful location, but unfortunately closed during our visit We stopped by the museum while we were in Topeka, hoping to explore it with the kids, but unfortunately it was closed that day, so we didn’t get the full experience. From the outside, it looks amazing — the grounds are well kept, and there’s a nice nature trail and play area nearby that the kids really enjoyed for a bit. It definitely seems like a great family spot, and I’d love to come back when it’s open to give a full review of the exhibits and inside experience. Hopefully next time we’ll catch it during hours, because it looks like a hidden gem for families visiting Topek

One of the best museums I have ever been to. Glad I stopped in here. Edit: 5 years later and I still feel the same way. My favorite museum and I've been to a lot of them in so many states. Sad to learn that it will be remodeled and done over but I would be excited to see it when it gets finished. Great facility and great experience. Highly recommend!

This is a nice place to kill some time. Kids enjoyed the play area and the train. Gift shop was being renovated. Not really that big but big enough to keep children entertained.

Great place to learn about Kansas history. Have been here with school field trips as well as a family outing. The kids enjoy it and do not get too bored too fast. There is a play area in the lobby where kids can dress up and learn more hands on 🙂 Prices are fair and the gift shop has nice items as well as local honey and more. Check out their events hosted and go see the amazing history of our area!

A very well put together museum. Lots of information you can absorb and great dioramas/displays. We ran out of time on our visit, but we enjoy reading everything so that can take awhile. If you plan on visiting give yourself atleast 2 hours, and if you're like us plan on 3.5hrs.

Great museum! Easily spend a whole day here. The archives are full of really helpful and enthusiastic staff members. The site itself is beautiful.

Jan was an excellent instructor and companion for the ride- I'll definitely be returning, they've converted me!

Skydive Kansas is definitely the best place to learn how to Skydive in the Midwest!

Great experience.

It's a really nice park. There's a train for everyone to ride and a zoo. Visited the zoo alot but haven't in recent years. We took the grandkids last week for the swings. It was fun:) Used to drive by often and see the bears sleeping up in the tree, but I believe they cut it down. They do have the rose garden as well, but everything still needs to blossom, it looked a bit sad when we were there, that time of year. If your in the Topeka area, its a definitely worth a visit. (Didn't get many photos without the kids in them.)

This is a large park with a variety of activities on or near the site. It has a nice playground area with benches and some decently sized trees for shade. Within walking distance is a zoo, an amphitheater and a number of walking trails.

This park is a real gem for the whole community. The playgrounds are clean, safe, and fun for kids of all ages, with plenty of shaded benches for caregivers. The picnic areas and shelters are well-maintained and perfect for family gatherings or a relaxed afternoon with friends. Dog owners will love the fenced dog park — roomy, clean, and a great space for pups to socialize. The lakes are beautiful and peaceful, with paved walking paths and plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the view or watch the wildlife. The small local zoo is a delightful surprise: animals appear well-cared-for, and the informative signage makes it an educational stop for kids. Grounds and restrooms are kept tidy, staff and volunteers are friendly, and there’s plenty of parking and accessibility throughout. Whether you’re bringing the family, walking your dog, or just looking for a lovely place to relax, this park delivers. Highly recommend for a full day of outdoor fun.

Very beautiful park . Wild life animals are so friendly . A lot of trees . Beautiful flowers , lakes.

Taking my dog to the park. It is a nice place to let him run around.

Didn’t get enough pictures but we drove an hour to get here and the zoo was amazing! Very well kept and friendly staff. All the animals seemed happy and well fed! :)

This is a memory from my childhood and being able to take my own child is awesome! I feel safe at this park and love the train and snacks we can pick up while there. Love the work being done as I feel some of it was iffy to let my child go on. Looking forward to the upgrades.

We drove from KC to come to the zoo. We love the Topeka zoo. The keepers are very friendly and like to share knowledge with guests. The exhibits are nice and well kept. It is a smaller zoo, but you see a lot in a shorter amount of time. The zen garden is absolutely beautiful. The fruit bat is my favorite animal to see there.

Nice place with many happy animals. Walking the zoo was an easy tour with the animals looking healthy and happy. It did feel a little used with an older feel to the walk way. I was excited to see they are working on a new tiger exhibit and the giraffe exhibit. Smaller zoo for the capital of Kansas, but nice. Not a big area to build more so what they have is awesome.

It's not a huge zoo so it makes for a great trip with little kids who may get tired at a larger zoo. They are constantly improving things and adding new additions the last few years. The staff is always amazing and friendly every time I bother them with all my questions 😂

Stopped by while in town. Price was great, but we didn't get to see a lot of animals. The worker in the gift shop was very nice! Will try again next time earlier in the day.

1000% an amazing place to go I've been to this zoo probably two dozen times and every time, it's just a little different of an experience. Whether it be from the various changes the zoo is doing or just seeing a new animal in a way I haven't before. This particular time, I got to see the bear splash around in the water and enjoy life. What a great time.

It’s not huge zoo like KC, but the size the perfect for a small kid family. They are upgrading the tiger area which is absolutely needed. The Japanese garden is hidden gem. We love this zoo.

Last time I went to the Topeka Zoo, there were lots of dinosaurs and pterosaurs, which I really liked because it added some spice to the already awesome zoo experience. They have giraffes which are very cute and you get to watch them play soccer, which is adorable with how they just kick the little ball. I really like the hippo exhibit, the hippo swims in his pool and it's super cute. Orangutans, I think orangutans, maybe they're chimps or something, but I think they're orangutans because they're orange, anyways the orangutans are kind of scary but also pretty interesting and they like climbing. Please also check out the other monkey things and the turtle too. Overall very nice experience.

Added this stop at the last minute since we had extra time in town. Nice museum and had some good displays. Probably not someplace you’d want to stop unless at least one of your group has fond memories of growing up watching Evel. Overall we had a good time and my kids enjoyed it even though they had no idea what it was all about going in. I passed on my memories from my childhood so they could see what an icon he was. We were there about an hour and a half so it is overall a well done museum full of one of a kind memorabilia and a good place to stretch your legs if your passing through town.

Great information about an American Legend. Saw both his jumps in Hutchinson Kansas at the State Fair and immediately went to building ramps and jumping our bicycles. Many bent rims n upset parents of the neighborhood kids

Glad I went before it moves to Las Vegas ! Lots of memories from when I was a kid. Well put together displays , videos and news clippings. Also bought the motorcycle action figure combo , glad I did.

This was a good experience. It wasn't to expensive and it had a lot of memorabilia. It had his motorcycles and his truck that have been refurbished. It started when he was a child and went through his death. It is all cataloged and talks about what he did and there was even videos of his jumps and wrecks. I liked how it really focused on him and not the rest of his family. It had some things from my childhood as in toys and even a Wheaties box. :-) It was also a beautiful buliding that it was in.

Super nice people and a fun place to visit. Get here while it's still in Topeka, it's moving to Las Vegas. Great displays and the VR jump was worth the extra $5. Incredible story. But sure to visit the Harley Davidson museum it's almost as good.

Spent about 1.5hrs to read through everything and also did the 2 min simulator ride. A really well curated museum to showcase Evel Knievel’s career from child to retirement. Really great short plaques throughout with videos showcasing the jump. Loved that they summarized whether the stunt was a success or resulted in an injury. However, would of loved to see a dedicated section for his son, after learning that his son followed footsteps for 40 years.

Very cool museum of my boyhood idol! Great exhibits, well done! A comprehensive collection of Evel and his life-long stunts and shows. A must see!

Another great capitol. It has a parking garage right under the building, which leads to the visitor's center. There is an informative museum and gift shop. The building is very nice inside and allows you to tour the dome and even go outside around it. I did not go on the tour because there are certain times they do it. I would definitely try to come back just for that.

As part of a cross country road trip in September 2024 stopped to see several state capitol buildings. Kansas has a very nice one that is well worth the time to visit if you are in the area. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Tour lasted about an hour and included a lot of information on the history of the state. There is a separate tour for those that want to go up into the rotunda area. We didn’t do it due to time constraints. Highly recommend seeing this state capitol building if you are in the area.

Took the free dome tour. It was a lot of stairs-- the older folks with us decided not to go all the way to the top-- but you're able to go outside at the top and see an amazing view. Tour guide was knowledge and interesting. Call ahead of your group is large, but we were able to show up without calling ahead about 15 minutes early. Go in the door below the stairs at the north of the building. The shop had a variety of things and was clean and professional. Highly recommend.

The museum on the bottom floor was interesting, but the building itself is amazing. Beautiful architecture, the next time I am through Topeka, I will do the dome tour. I did not have time to explore the library either, but it looked like a place to get lost in for a few days

Very happy with our decision to visit the Kansas State Capitol. The staff was fantastic. We chose the guided tour but they do have self tour options as well. We brought our soon to be 2 year old and at an hour the tour was just long enough to be to long for him. I did the tour of the dome as well and was impressed with that. It's a lot of stairs, be prepared. All in all highly recommend.

The Topeka Capitol Visitor Center offers a welcoming and informative experience. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the exhibits are engaging and well-presented. A must-visit for anyone interested in history or government!

Loved the 1 hr free historical guided tour. Our tour guide was informative and clear. Learned about the state history of Kansas, state Capitol building, murals, etc. Highly recommend to do the tour. It is a beautiful building inside and out. There is also a dome tour I did not have time for.

A really informative and important moment to remember. Making this a National Park Historical place was the right thing. A well put together resource to remember the historic court cases that abolished segregation in schools. Something that sane and logical people need to continue to remember and uphold the ideals of good.

Such an amazing National Park! Well designed and very easy to navigate! A MUST SEE FOR TEACHERS! We got our US National Park Passport Stamped including the 60th anniversary stamp!

While on a cross country road trip in September 2024 we visited several places in Topeka, one of which was the school building that was central to the US Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of education. Very friendly park staff took the time to provide a lot of information and explained the background behind the case. Very good layout and exhibits to see. Spent about an hour here. If you are in the Topeka area, highly recommend seeing this.

A must see/do for any person interested in history, civil rights, or government. So much to learn here so that history does not repeat itself. It is sad that this is part of our American history, yet so important to learn from. All the exhibits are so well done. Staff was also excellent. Nice gift shop. Free parking lot across the street. No entry fee.

Very through explanation of the cases surrounding Brown v Board of Education. My kids actually enjoyed filling out the Jr Ranger books

The Brown V. Board of Education NHS is a Park that you need to see. Passport cancelation stamps are on a table as you walk into the building. There are six passport cancelation stamps here! The staff and park ranger were very nice and knowledgeable. They answered any and all questions I had.

August 28, 2024 Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park was established in Topeka, Kansas, on October 26, 1992, by the United States Congress to commemorate the landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Brown v. Board of Education aimed at ending racial segregation in public schools. 28 August 2024. August 28, 2024 stopped at the Brown v. Board of Education National Monument in Topeka Kansas!

Great fishing options around this beautiful lake…Blue Gill and small mouth Bass plus Channel Cats. This lake is a jewel in the midst of Topeka! We needed to extend our camping stay and they were more than helpful…even finding a discount that could be applied. Forever grateful.

This is a nice place to relax! Spacious sites for big rigs. Easy to get to.

Beautiful lake. Without a marina to fill up your boat, I just can't give it five stars. But what a beautiful place to hang out in our boat.

Stopped to picnic and fish with a friend. It was a beautiful summer day and the park/lake was awesome. Very clean, not too crowded. Didn't catch any fish but enjoyed the view. Bathrooms were clean and had toilet paper too. Would have given 5 stars if i caught a fish.

We are so lucky to have this lake. Most beautiful flowers. Great fishing. Paddle boating. Fun playgrounds. And wide paths for biking and walking. Has public grills and picnic areas. And fun camping area. Took my daughter to get her prom pictures. Beautiful ❤️

I was at the blues festival that they have each 4th of July. Beautiful venue

This park is a beautiful place to go. The flowers and trees are amazing. There are a lot of picnic table to be enjoyed, ducks and geese, as well as many other birds. Docks to walk on or fish from. And a huge walking/ biking trail that goes completely around the lake. I think the trail is 6 miles. I love looking at the flowers, they smell so good. We have picniced in the are a few times and walked the trail. Once we were picnicking and doing homework when we saw a group of baby ducks, they were so adorable.

I give it four stars because it's a small town golf course which is a positive. I like to play small town courses because they are unique. The fairways on this course could use some work. A lot of bare spots or weeds. I wish they would make red tee boxes . My partner and I noticed the yellow, white, etc tee boxes were nice and well marked, but the red tee boxes were a different story. They weren't easy to spot because they were not well marked (only had one small red box) and there wasn't an actual tee box with nice grass to hit from. If you want a new course to try though, I would recommend this.

Wonderful golf course, owners are doing a tremendous job at making improvements. Thanks for hosting our most recent golf scramble.

Great little 9 hole course! Well suited for family golf.

Actually it was very nice course is in great shape. Nice experience!

Me and kids love it here. Always have been easy to make tee times. Thanks guys

Nice nine hole course. Needs work on cart paths

Great place to play golf

I'm not sure if I've ever met a group of people that were more polite and accommodating than the owners and staff here. We will definitely be back in the future.

Wine was exceptional! Owners took the time to talk with us and we really appreciate d that! Will highly recommend and we'll be back!! Wish we could have stayed for the wood fire pizza...smelled amazing!!

The staff is so friendly and fun! The patio and grass seating area is lovely. The indoor seating area looks nice, but the weather is good, so we sat outside. We'll absolutely be back.

I love that they support animal rescues. They have 2 cute, friendly kitties The cherry medley and paradise wine are very good!

Delicious oven fired pizza, wide variety of wines, excellent knowledgeable owners and staff and a beautiful country setting makes this a great place to relax and spend time with loved ones/friends. Cute gift shop. Perry Lake reservoir just down the road makes for a nice ride back home.

It was so nice. The people were so nice and friendly. The wine was good. They even sat outside and visited with me for quite awhile

Wine in Kansas! Who'da thunk. And it's good! Cozy little place and great, friendly, helpful owners.

I am trying to wrap up an online program with KU, and I cannot express how much I feel underserved based on how much effort I have put into my program of studies and how little engagement I have seen from our instructors. I have paid thousands of dollars for poor-production-value recorded lectures (some of which were literally from a face-to-face class prior to Covid), and "instructors" that are just using these older lectures (often not even of them) and having TAs grade their papers. I'd check the syllabus for guidance, but that isn't even correct a lot of the time. Need help? Well you better be able to access the Zoom link in the middle of a weekday, which seems pretty odd for an online program. Want to go through legitimate channels to voice your concerns and complaints? "We value your feedback, " but if that were the case wouldn't things be improving? I have tried multiple avenues to voice my concerns, which has led me finally here. Save yourself time and money and go somewhere else for online programs.

I have to say I really like that the school has such great students and faculty. I also love that they have a program for incoming faculty (not sure if for staff) for dual careers. It is hard to relocate a lot and get the lay of the land when you follow your spouse.

One of the most beautiful universities in Kansas (yes, I know the quality of education is more important). I came here for some friends' graduation some years ago and it was packed full of people! I liked the atmosphere here.

My only beef with KU is that they're forcing my daughter out of her dorm/apartment building and giving the whole thing to incoming freshman, like her presence there doesn't matter since she's not new.

Good Stuff lol. Seriously Though, The University Of Kansas Jayhawks Is One Of The Actual Best And Most Successfull Schools And Or Colleges In The United States Of America lol. Campus Is Always A Good Vibe And Atmosphere And The Women Are Seriously Absolutely Beautiful ❤️. You Really Will Like It. Top 5 Colleges In The United States Of America. As Always Still Much Loves And Respects To You And Yours Regardless. Love. Caleb Jeffcoat.

Beautiful school with great students. I love this town of Lawrence, there are many delicious food and wonderful people!

The University of Kansas has an amazing campus with beautiful views and buildings.

Wonderful History of one of the finest team in our country.

Pure heaven and bliss. Rock chalk!!!

Enjoy history at it's finest great experience

It is a great place to get to know the history of KU athletics!

Excellent storytelling of KU athletics!

Great experience and so much to see and do!

Awesome! Very impressive and informative! I know there are military memorials on campus. Though why not mark the plaque on Wall of Fame? I finally found my patient, a Veteran that went off like many and returned. Better youngest brother worked on the tunnel! Go Jayhawks!

Beautiful museum with an ever-changing series of unique exhibits. We 💕 this place! Free admission. Free parking on the lower level of the garage across the street - just tell the reception desk your license plate number!

Very nice Art museum and a decent size for a college campus. They have some great permanent collections and the temporary ones are awesome and well thought out. Currently parking is across the street in the visitor parking, but you validate it at the museum easily.

This museum has a great permanent display and if you go on Friday the curators can pull works from their archive. I have been coming here since I was a small child and it’s always nice to see what they have in exhibition. Their permanent display has changed since the last time I came and I was pleasantly surprised to see some things I haven’t seen before.

The staff is easy to talk with, they validated my parking before I asked! A little less kid friendly than other museums we have been to recently. Still a good experience and worth a visit!

An excellent, well managed, properly organized and peaceful museum. Unfortunately its not too big or having lots of art work but still the collection in the museum is really incredible. I enjoyed my time visiting here.

Enjoyed my visit to this wonderful museum! Special shout out to Kevin, who was friendly knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Something for everyone here. Highly recommend.

For a university museum, and the fact that the main gallery is free to visit, this is a must see. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and parking was free. I was surprised by the broad spectrum of art here. Plenty of contemporary pieces, various American pastoral works, 18th century European portraits, and a hodge-podge of Buddhist/Asian religious statues. Too must to list. It's not an extensive collection, but certainly a surprise.

This is a nice to visit as an adult or with children. In our short time in Lawrence my kids and I have enjoyed this museum. We have visited during a few event as well and always seem to find something new. I hope the bees are back this summer.

Awesome museum! If you have kids I’d recommend. Theres lots of fun educational things to look at. I also recommend going if you’re an artist. I’ve gone for a lot of my classes and always am able to find a spot and draw the bones/animals/plants/etc. The staff are always very kind and willing to help!

this museum is an incredible collection of natural specimens! i love that you can guide yourself around and explore at your own pace. plus it’s right on campus so there’s so much to look at after :)

There are so many marvelous things about the KU Natural History Museum! My children and I have always loved going there, I did before I even had children myself. Letting the kiddo's minds wander about various things throughout our world, both current and in the past is truly wonderful. It sparks fantastic conversation. They also love the souvenir shop. Awesome displays of different habitats and taxidermy. A few stations where you can actually pet the fur of different animals. In the summer they have a large hive of bees that you can see into! It is not a very big museum, multiple levels, but not a difficult or long trip at all. The building is old, they DO have an elevator, but there has been a time or two when it has been out of order. They also have some living snakes, lizards, and insects too!

A 4 floor museum… definitely worth visiting if you are in Kansas! Full of prehistoric and modern animals!!!

Beautiful Museum ♡ Have been wanting to visit for awhile, 4 floors of History.

Four awesome floors, dinosaurs, mosasaurs, mammals, birds, and general diversity. A few live snakes and a live bee exhibit. The larger live bug exhibit is closed for now and we were not told when it might reopen. Cute gift shop with some great guidebooks.

Mass St: The parking is atrocious, especially on a Sunday. Had to drive on by since I couldn't find a decent parking spot.

We heard Swifty shopped there, so we did too. It's cute, but the sidewalks roll up at 5-6pm.

Lived in Lawrence my whole life and this is the one area I still get excited to go to with friends and family. Sooooo many good stores and everyone is so kind

all the shopping and dining options in one area, including 2 breweries and an antique mall.

Amazing street with so much to do!

Mass street is on top great place to hang

There aren’t a lot of streets I can walk down these days with a dramatic hit of nostalgia. I love coming down to mass every chance I get to visit my alma mater. To visit some of the established locations that have been here for decades or to dabble into the new restaurants and shops there is always something special about Revisiting Massachusetts St.

Took my sister and brother-in-law. Enjoyed the history and the old photographs. This place is amazing. My grandkids and I have been here many times. They loved the model train room, doll house, and school room best.

Parked at museum and went on a bike ride to Princeton on the Prairie Spirit rail trail. Checked out the museum after the ride.it was small but nice. It's free and worth 10 or 15 minutes of your time.

My husband and I stopped here on our Sunday afternoon drive and were pleasantly surprised by this little gem in Ottawa. We loved this museum and would recommend this as a great little “Day Trip” / “Sunday Drive” excursion. There’s a lot of great historical Kansas related information and awesome displays on second floor. We will definitely be back to see the next rotating exhibit on the main level.

Lots of interesting/educational exhibits. LOVE the one room school house upstairs. SO much to see & learn A fun visit for kids & adults alike!

Stopped by while visiting Ottawa Kansas, had fun, lots to look at and learn about the town. Very cool spot to visit.

Very interesting. Example soda fountain, example school room, and a big model railroad. And is free! Donations excepted tho. We thought it was well worth the visit.

We were really hoping for more area history, and a better visual of what the depot was like. However there was a traveling exhibit that covered and blocked what we were interested in.

Has a splash pad & a park area. The grand kids had lots of fun here

Nice park! There is a fun disc gold golf course there perfect for casual play. Not very wooded, so most of the holes are fairly wide open. But there are trees along the course. Perfect course for beginners/casual play. It was kind of wet though, and the water doesn't seem to drain very fast from the course, so it was muddy and wet in lots of spots. I'm sure it's fine though if you go on a dry day.

Nice open park with walking trails, playgrounds and an 18 hole disc golf course.

We love 💙 walking here. Nice walking trail. A few others walking and jogging, riding bikes, playing disc golfer, a few families playing and dog walkers too. All the way around, lightly busy, nice, quiet, friendly park.

This park has a great playground, 3/4 mile walking trail, water station, disc golf, and exercise stations. I'd love to see a real bathroom there, as there is only a portable bathroom, which during the summer in Kansas gets pretty rank. The portable bathroom is handicapped accesible, however.

The park looks great, thanks to the city workers doing a fantastic job of keeping it that way. Almost all the time I am here to play disc golf or walk the path, which is a very nice walk most of the time with a lot of space with bicycles. The new baskets are great. The new tee pads make this course much more enjoyable. The local disc golf club has worked hard to make all of that happen.

I would watch the kids when they go up the stairs to the slide. It's pretty steep and open, so little ones can fall, but the rest of the park is pretty sized well for little one otherwise. I didn't feel like I had to follow them around too much. Other than that the walking path is really nice for running some laps and there's a nice frisbee golf course.
