For a look into the state's history, visitors can't go wrong with the Kansas Museum of History. The museum highlights the exciting history of Kansas, from prehistoric times to the modern era. Highlights of the museum include a 1950s diner, train cars and Civil War flags from African-American regiments. History buffs who want a deeper look at an important figure from Kansas' history should pay a visit to the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum. Visitors can begin their tour with an informative video presentation detailing Eisenhower's life. Inside the museum, pictures and interactive computer stations take visitors back to the days of Eisenhower's presidency.

To return to the Space Age, Kansas tourists can spend some time at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center. Artifacts from the Apollo, Mercury and Gemini missions can be found within the museum's walls. The museum also contains a large collection of artifacts from Russia's space program.

For outdoor excursions, travelers can head to the Cimarron National Grassland. This public land allows for plenty of recreational activities, including camping, horseback riding, fishing and bird watching. The grassland is also home to a population of rare lesser prairie chickens. Lake Scott State Park is an oasis in the dry Kansas prairies, allowing visitors a chance to enjoy a variety of lake activities, including canoeing and paddle boating. The park is also known for its abundant reptile, fox and deer populations.

Visitors who want to spend time with more exotic wildlife might enjoy a trip to the Sedgwick County Zoo, Kansas' most popular outdoor attraction. At the "Pride of the Plains" exhibit, visitors can observe a collection of animals from Africa in a naturalistic habitat, including lions and meerkats. The "Tiger Trek" exhibit houses red pandas and a variety of tiger species.
