If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 30 miles away, Manhattan is worth getting in the car for. Flint Hills Discovery Center, Ahearn Field House and Bill Synder Family Football Stadium alone justify the drive out here. Locals are also likely to point you toward Topeka, 40 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Topeka Performing Arts Center. (But we’re also huge fans of Kansas State Capitol and Kansas Museum of History.)
