Fortunately, there are places around Topeka that are kid friendly and a great for making memories.
The map below offers just a few popular places my family and I like to frequent on the weekends or especially days off.
Kansas Historical Society
This is a great place for learning about the state they live in! Also, there is an activity center for a more hands on learning about the good ol' days.
The Topeka Zoo/Gage Park
Animals are always a hit and the park and train ride are just the ticket to relax when the weather is beautiful.
Children's Discovery Center
Small fee for a fun day of hand on activities. Here, it will be hard to run out of things to do.
Mulvane Art Museum
This is by far my family's favorite. It's free and kind of like a hidden treasure. Unlike the Discovery Center, this is a more quite hands on place that taps into their creative/artistic side.
Going Bonkers
The name pretty much explains it! Great place on a rainy day and they need to get their energy OUT!
Chuck E Cheese
Fun IF you go in the middle of the day. Otherwise it can get very overwhelming and crowded.

Great post Ashley, I like the Google map for the locations of the places. The one suggestion I have is if you know how much the fee is for some of the places that you mentioned then I think it would be great if you add that to the post. I look forward to the next post
ReplyDeleteI agree that all of this places are great to go with kids. Places like The Discovery Center and Mulvane Art Museum, is even a play place for grown ups! I think taking kids to places like these can also be a great reward for good behavior or helping around the house.
