What to do and see in Kansas, Kansas: The Best Arenas & Stadiums

November 8, 2021 Timmy Ribble

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.

Children's Mercy Park

Reviewed By mattmX4628UL

The two previous games we attended were live action in person, and Sporting won both times. This time was a little different, but still enjoyable. As an affiliate of the MLS team, we were in town for an All-Star weekend and allowed to watch the team's season opener (which was actually in NY) in the stadium on the big screen. The drum team was not present (which would normally create a lot of enthusiasm in the fans) but it was still a fun time. It was actually kind of nice not having the big crowd this time. Kansas City is now 3-0 in the three games we have attended.

The history oozes from this building and be sure to see the attached museum and the original Rules of Basketball, signed by James Naismith himself. Lots to see here, including the game!

The Topeka Pilots ice hockey team is a member of the North American Hockey League (NAHL), the only Tier II junior hockey league in the United States. The Pilots play 28 regular season home games from September to March in Landon Arena at the Kansas ExpoCentre in Topeka, Kansas. It's a very fast pace game that's fun for the entire family whether you're a die-hard hockey fan or a first timer.

I was there for a track and field championship and was most impressed with the facility, which includes throws venues to the north of the track. The only downside is the dearth of bathroom facilities for people trackside. What's with that?

Reviewed By 3125glg - Park City, United States

went to see Live / Bush at Hartman. We have only lived in Park City for 2 1/2 years. First time at Hartman. The place was clean, workers very friendly, food and drink prices less than half of what you pay at Intrust. Sound quality great....not as good as Intrust but still great. Great experience......Can' wait to go back. The only bummer was that both Bush and Live said "Great to be in Wichita".....someone should have told them the plane landed in Wichita but "It is great to be in Park City".......Park City Pride
