Kansas is more than just the home of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. The state has an extensive history that includes being a home to prehistoric beasts, a pivotal player in the Civil War, and a place for pioneers heading west to rest, restock, and recuperate. There’s a lot of interesting things to do across the state; here’s a closer look.

66. Kansas Speedway (Kansas City)

The Kansas Speedway opened in 1999 and has been going strong since. The 1.5 mile oval track hosts various NASCAR events, occasional concerts, and the Richard Petty Driving Experience when guests can ride shotgun in a real race car for three laps around the track and drive a stock car. If you have a race lover in your life, this is the place to spend a day in Kansas.

67. Kansas Sampler Festival (Inman)

Perhaps the perfect event to go to if you’re trying to find some of the greatest things to do in Kansas, the Sampler Festival was begun to help the public learn all about the things do see and do across the state. Smaller cities send vendors to get exposure tna the host city presents themselves to an audience coming from everywhere around the state. Spend about two hours here and sample the best that Kansas has to offer.

68. Tanganyika Wildlife Park (Goddard)

This is a zoo that was literally built from the ground up by the Fouts family, who had a passion for rare birds and animals and the drive to make their dreams come true. When you spend a few hours here, you’ll see kangaroos, primates, giraffes, and more.

69. Wilson State Park (Sylvan Grove)

Wilson State Park is home to Wilson Lake, the clearest lake in the state. With 100 miles of shoreline, it’s great for fishing and relaxing. You can swim, hunt, camp, hike, and bike here. Spend the weekend here if you love the outdoors. Let the kids play at the playground, hang out on the beach, or walk the Bur Oak Nature Trail.
