I enjoyed this place. I took my then 8 year old son and he was mesmerized. I like that it's a smaller place b/c then you don't have to worry about walking to Africa (yeah don't do that at the zoo, just take the blasted tram) There's shading on most of the walk ways so even on the really freakin oh my gosh did we just descend into hell hot day that we went, it wasn't unbearable. Ok to the feeding time. You are going to hear noises from the cats that will give you the heebie jeebies. I walked past a leopard that was munching on a chicken and heard every bone cracking (shudder) Yeah, so there's that. It's not graphic, like national geographic, it's just slabs of beef they toss in the cages. It's worth the money, the people are friendly and the cats are amazing.

Who knew, that Kansas would have wineries. Relatively close to Overland Park, just a drive down south, into rural Kansas. Somerset Ridge Vineyard is a must, the tasting wine menu is divided by wine preference. Tasting includes the glass, which you get to keep. Easy...MoreThank you so much for the visit! Summer wine season is almost here and it's a beautiful time for a vineyard visit! We hope you can come back soon. We have live music every Saturday and Sunday afternoon and our chefs will be cooking. ?

The Arboretum has several different areas to relax and enjoy nature. We really enjoy the hiking trails in back. Trails of varying lengths wind through woods, along streams, beside cliffs. We've run into deer on the longer back trails. Highly recommended.
4. Louisburg Cider Mill

Reviewed By PrintmakerPainter - Louisburg, Kansas
This is a fun place to visit with children and adults alike - especially during weekends in the fall. The apple processing is fascinating, apple donuts delish and cider is warming and satisfying. The corn maze, pumpkin patch and hay ride are other attractions during the fall on weekends.
5. Powell Observatory

I finally had the opportunity to visit the Powell Observatory. I went with some friends down to Louisburg for dinner and to view the night sky. This was Saturday over Labor Day weekend, we had a clear skies and comfortable weather (jeans, and a light jacket when it got dark. This is a volunteer run observatory by the local KC Astronomer club. There is a donation request ($6 for adults), but it is very much worth the donation. Even with the sun still out, they had a solar-scope for viewing the sun safely, and telescopes to look at the crescent moon and venus. They started with program (6:30 pm first one, run several times through out the evening) sharing some star and planet facts and what stars, planets can be seen this time of the year. They even handed out a sheet with a September Sky calendar on one side and circular map of what you would see in September with N,S,E,W marked. Powell Observatory has three telescopes on site: 30 in, 16 in and 12 in. Plus the various Club members bring out their own telescopes to share. That night I got to see the Saturn with its rings (first for me!), Mars, Venus, Moon, Sun, Globular cluster (M17), Double Star on the handle of the Big Dipper (Mylar, & Alcot). Without the telescope various volunteers had laser pointers to show various constellations and the Milky way was visible to the naked eye once you are far away from the light pollution. All the volunteers were very knowledgable and generous in sharing "their passion" with the rest of us. My only regret was that none of us thought to bring a blanket to lay down and look at the skies. Also watch the skies in August 21, 2017, the central part of the US will have a Solar Eclipse!
