Topeka is Yours to Explore
Visit interesting museums, lively NOTO, and a beautiful lake
History, culture, and family fun await in the Kansas capital. Check out a Cheyenne-style tipi at the Kansas Museum of History, experience the golden age of rail travel at the Great Overland Station Train Museum, or enjoy the unique murals, art galleries, and shops in the NOTO® Arts & Entertainment District. Kids will love the rainforest dome at Topeka Zoo & Conservation Center, the world’s tallest climbable sunflower at Kansas Children’s Discovery Center, and flight simulators at the Combat Air Museum. Depending on the time of year, you can go hiking, biking, or swimming at Lake Shawnee or catch the Sunflower State Games—an annual Olympic-style athletic festival.
