Lawrence
| In the University of Kansas' hometown, wildlife dioramas at KU's Natural History Museum transport visitors from Alaska to Mexico. Permanent exhibits include fossils of dinosaurs, mammals, reptiles, fish, and birds. The museum is also home to Comanche – the horse that was the only U.S. Army survivor of the Battle at the Little Bighorn, and Annabelle, an impressive 50-foot-long, 140-million-year-old camarasaurus dinosaur. |

Salina
| Children can crawl through a tunnel and into a dome-covered observation room that puts them right in the middle of the bobcat exhibit at Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure, on 65 acres of prairie six miles west of Salina. Visitors board the covered tram or stroll the paved paths to see 300-plus animals – more than 80 species – some of them endangered. |

Topeka
| History lessons come to life in Kansas' capital. Fifty years after the Supreme Court ended school segregation based on a case that included Monroe School, the institution reopened as the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site. Northwest of downtown at Discovery Place – the children's gallery in the Kansas Museum of History – kids can crawl into a tepee, try on pioneer clothes, and visit a re-created 1950s county fair. |
