Feed your cravings for excitement in the world’s breadbasket… Kansas! Travel the plains and invest some time in some seriously interesting attractions. Culturally, it’s a mecca for intriguing locations worth exploring such as The National World War I Museum, the Kauffman Center for Performing Arts or the Kansas City Symphony. To feel one with some rich American history , perhaps visit the Battle of Westport walking tour in Kansas City and view some war re-enactments (ranked #8 Cultural Attraction on TripAdvisor.com.) For some less “educational” places to visit; casinos, live theater performances, water-parks, and even haunted houses might tickle your fancy. Why not get some fresh air? Check out a beautiful floral sanctuary such as Loose Park Rose Garden located within Loose Park in Kansas City. Or, re-live the “wagon” era in middle America sunshine at the Santa Fe Trail. Football, baseball, or hockey fans can rejoice at an arena for some live action thrills. Animal lover? Then you’ve got to invest at least a day at the Kansas City Zoo. The safari themed attraction lays on 95 acres and houses over 400 animals. It’s time to leave Oz, and come on back to Kansas with a travel therapy job, today!
