With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Topeka, 30 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Topeka Performing Arts Center, Kansas State Capitol and Kansas Museum of History. Situated 45 miles away, Lawrence is another popular option. If you swing by, don’t miss Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence Arts Center and Lied Center of Kansas.
