The Day Trip Of A Lifetime You Can Only Take In Kansas

Explore Kansas with a family-friendly day trip featuring the Kansas Cosmosphere, Strataca Salt Mine, Hutchinson Zoo, and Carriage Crossing in Yoder.

Weather continues to flop between warm and cool days, so what do you do when it's warm? Take a day trip! Stretching your legs after huddling inside away from the cold is always nice. This fun-packed day isn't just for the kids, there's enough for all here!

Reach for the stars at the Kansas Cosmosphere

Check out the hall of space, the science lab, or catch a movie on one of the coolest screens I've ever seen. This is definitely a trip everyone can enjoy!

Dig deep at Strataca Salt Mine

Unless you're pretty claustrophobic, this is one cool spot to feel like you're walking the footsteps of a miner. There's equipment on display, as well as a mini train tour and plenty of things to get your hands on.

Get wild for the animals at the Hutchinson Zoo

Nothing's cooler for kids than animals, and maybe they're tired of seeing the same old exhibits? Why not give them a change of scenery?

Grab dinner at Carriage Crossing in Yoder

Take home a pie for later because you'll be stuffed! I ate here a couple weeks ago and boy, my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach.

Don't you think this would be a great trip with the family? If this is a little too much walking for you, check out these other great Kansas trips we've found that are easier on the feet.
