Kansas Motorcycle Museum

Museum

👍👍 There is a lot of history and a lot of great bikes! They were super nice and full of information. A definite must-see. They had some very rare and one-of-a-kind motorcycles and memorabilia. It was only a $7 donation to get in and worth every cent.

This is a must-see place for the whole family whether your a local, passing through, or visiting from out of town, it will not disappoint. Admission is very affordabl...

Eisenhower Library and Museum

Museum

👍👍 Wonderful museum that was incredibly educational and informative. My daughter and I visited while we were passing through Kansas on a road trip and it was a great stop! The hours are short, so be aware they close at 4:30 every day, but we had time to visit the gift shop after the museum, as well. On...

Midwest Dream Car Collection

Museum

👍👍 Cool place to see several really neat and rare cars. Mustangs that belonged to Sonny and Cher, Mario Andretti's Lamborghini, race cars, old cars, etc. Definitely worth it, and once a month, they do open hood and start several of the vehicles. Also, ask the guide and you can sit in some of t...

Seelye Mansion

Museum

Luxurious 25-room 1905 mansion & gardens featuring period furnishings & original Edison lighting.

4.80 (267 reviews) (~1.03 km from centre)

National Orphan Train Complex

Museum

👍👍 The orphan train warranted one line in the textbook where I first came across it. In fact, it is a story in and of itself, not just of the children but that time in America - from roughly the 1870s to the 1930s- when a massive number of immigrants poured into New York city. Many families ultimately...

Trail Days Cafe and Museum

Cafe

👍👍 If you are in Council Grove, this is where you should have lunch or dinner! The menu is an eclectic mix of Native American and various European dishes. Everything we ate was delicious. Due to Covid, they were only serving on the porch, but it was a lovely evening. The hosts are so friendly and infor...

Kauffman Museum

Museum

👍👍 Kauffman Museum is such a fun museum. My 11 year old son loved all the animal exhibits and all the little houses you can walk through and pretend you went back in time. We came with family from Germany and it was interesting to see all the things that came from Germany and are displayed in the museu...

Red Barn Studio Museum

Museum

👍👍 Normal admission for adults is $10 but was able to get in for free with the Sunflower Summer program. :) definitely a lot more than what I thought.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library & Museum

Tourist attraction

👍 Very nice museum worth a visit. It does a good job outlining the life of Eisenhower without getting too bogged down in minutia. The website says to plan on 3 hours, but I saw the museum in about 1 (and no, I didn't hurry). There are quite a few pieces including the actual table where the D-Day invas...

Smoky Hill Museum

Museum

👍👍 What a great place for people of all ages. You begin with a little advice from a lovely person at the front desk. She goes through how to tour, which direction and what keys things to look for. You travel at your own speed and for me... watching the families entertain and educate their kids at the...

Lindsborg Old Mill & Swedish Heritage Museum

Museum

👍👍 Very interesting self guided tour, beautifully preserved historical mill interior, fascinatingly complex production process. Great little gift and reproduction Victorian postcard selection. More historical attractions across the street, including the huge Swedish pavilion from the 1904 World's Fair,...

Kansas Auto Racing Museum

Racing car parts store

👍👍 We stopped by on our road trip towards Colorado after seeing a sign on the side of a high way. Definitely did not know this was a point of interest, so their sign is working. Husband is a big car enthusiast and he really enjoyed his visit. It was decently put together for a small museum in a town as...
