If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 40 miles away, Paola is worth the drive. Somerset Ridge Vineyard and Winery should be at the top of your list here. Paola Golf Club and Wallace Park are awesome attractions too. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Lawrence, 45 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Allen Fieldhouse. (But we’d also highly recommend Lawrence Arts Center and Lied Center of Kansas.)
