That\u2019s not true! There are plenty of great things to do when you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorsy.com\/rv-rental\/kansas\">rent an RV<\/a> and explore the state, especially if you\u2019re traveling with young ones.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some great vacation ideas if you find yourself in Kansas with the kids!<\/p>\n<h2>Visit a Zoo<\/h2>\n<p>There are a surprising number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelks.com\/things-to-do\/family-fun\/zoos-and-animal-parks\/\">zoos and animal sanctuaries<\/a> in Kansas. The Topeka Zoo is probably the most popular. It features a tropical rainforest and free roaming animals, but it isn&#8217;t the only one.<\/p>\n<p>A few other options include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Sedgwick County Zoo, which features 2,500 animals from 5 different continents<\/li>\n<li>The K-State University Insect Zoo, if your kids are into creepy crawlies<\/li>\n<li>Lee Richardson Zoo sits on 50 acres and offers free admission to the whole family<\/li>\n<li>Cedar Cove Feline Sanctuary &amp; Education Center, if your kids have a thing for big cats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Have a Little Fun on the Farm<\/h2>\n<p>There was a time when flat and boring wasn\u2019t a bad thing. Such a wide prairie expanse made it easy for our ancestors to farm. Today, there are plenty of fun opportunities to learn more about what living on the farm was like.<\/p>\n<p>Deanna Rose Children&#8217;s Farmstead is a popular place for families. It functions like a turn-of-the-century farmstead that features a wide array of amazing things that the kids will enjoy like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A one-room schoolhouse<\/li>\n<li>Dairy barn<\/li>\n<li>Old-time fishing pond<\/li>\n<li>200 farm animals and birds of prey<\/li>\n<li>Bottle-feeding baby goats<\/li>\n<li>Milking cows<\/li>\n<li>Ride in a wagon<\/li>\n<li>Race a pedal tractor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Head Outdoors<\/h2>\n<p>Kansas is a big state. As a matter of fact, it\u2019s the 15<sup>th<\/sup> largest state in the Union! With over 80,000 square miles, you can bet that it isn\u2019t all flat grasslands and farms.<\/p>\n<p>There are some really beautiful geological formations in Kansas that can&#8217;t be found anywhere else. For example, at Mushrooms Rock State Park, you can marvel at geological wonders that make you feel like you&#8217;ve stepped foot on another planet.<\/p>\n<p>The Kansas Underground Salt Museum is also worth a visit. Here, kids can touch the remnants of an inland ocean, ride an underground train, and observe the rock monoliths above.<\/p>\n<h2>Visit the Wild West<\/h2>\n<p>The Wild West holds a special place in many hearts, especially the hearts of children who want to become a cowboy! If your family is interested in the west, a stop at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dodge_City,_Kansas\">Dodge City<\/a> is a must.<\/p>\n<p>You can spend days exploring old residences, visiting museums, riding horses, and more. There is even a kid-friendly water park, if you need a day to remember that you\u2019re actually in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century!<\/p>\n<p>Stop thinking of Kansas as a drive-through state and plan a vacation in your RV that allows you to soak up everything this state has to offer. Both the kids and the adults are sure to have a blast!<\/p>\n<p><!--INFOLINKS_ON--><\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-48
