10 Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Kansas That You Shouldn't Miss
See a buffalo up close, live like a cowboy for a day on a working cattle ranch or visit a stagecoach stop on the Sante Fe Trail are just a few of the many vacation experiences possible in this state in America’s heartland. You’ll love the wide-open spaces and the opportunities to engage in a variety of one-of-a-kind experiences in this marvelous state, which has the largest segment of true tallgrass prairie remaining in the U.S. Regardless of where you visit: a major metropolitan area like Kansas City, a college town like Manhattan or Lawrence or engaging places like Wichita, Dodge City and Salina, there are a wide array of attractions and sights nearby. If you want to familiarize yourself with cowboy culture, visit the Boot Hills Museum in Dodge City, dine on all-you-can-eat barbeque and hear songs of the American Cowboy at Diamond W Chuckwagon Supper in Wichita or explore the Dickinson County Heritage Center in Abilene, which has dance halls, gaming rooms and 32 saloons.
For outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, bird watching and other activities, three of the state’s most popular parks are: Cheney State Park near Wichita; Scott State Park near Scott City and Tuttle Creek State Park near Manhattan.

Can I give this place 6 stars? We had an absolute blast at this establishment. We did all 4 of their rooms in one day and wish they had more. First off, the staff members we interacted with throughout the day were friendly and informative. The rooms were really awesome and very different from each other. Pyramids was theatrical and exciting ... Beasley's was traditional with a few technical surprises ... Space Force was really unique (but we blew it away) ... Central Intelligence was very intriguing and had some really fun and unique surprises (If you're very experienced escape roomers ask to have it set up in difficult mode!). I would heartily recommend these rooms if you are looking for a great time for a group of family or friends!

We held a team building event at Breakout Lawrence and my team had an absolute blast!! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms we did (Y2K and Civil War) were well-organized, challenging and fun at the same time. The attention to detail is incredible compared to some of the other escape rooms I've been to. I would recommend Breakout Lawrence to anyone looking for a fun team event or get-together with friends. The location is great as well with tons of great restaurants and bars just down the street.

Real-life escape room games are new and fun way to spend time with friends and family! These adventure games challenge you to use the elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit. Can you make it out before the timer expires?

I feel like I've been to quite a few Escape rooms, both in Wichita, and in Kansas City. This place is by far the best. The quality of the puzzles, along with the workmanship of the construction, and the thought put into the games themselves, really do make them a notch above any other escape room I've visited. Our attempt to escape Project 403 was unsuccessful, but it was heart-pounding and fun to try. I recommend Puzzle Plex to anyone who is looking for a fun, exciting thing to try with a group of 2 up to 8.
