Vacations to Kansas and Great Kansas hotelsLocated in the Midwest, Kansas is the exact middle of the continental U.S. Besides its location in the middle of the country, Kansas is smack dab in the middle of U.S. history, resulting in a large number of sites that will help you better understand the course of westward expansion, the struggle over slavery and the wide-open expanses crossed during cattle drives.
With numerous vacation destinations, all vacations to Kansas are nothing less than enjoyable and fun. Across the state 250 miles lies Kansas City. It enjoys a "Wild West" reputation -with cattle drives, Jesse James, and the Santa Fe Trail- and a history as the center of Civil War guerilla activity with Quantrell's Raiders. To appreciate this area would take much more than three days.
Besides historical, art, and jazz museums, there's a zoo that resembles a jungle, a vibrant farmers' market, a sunken steamboat and its treasures, a renovated historic train station, and a theme amusement park. Whether you drive or take the train, you should plan on getting into Kansas City the evening before your sightseeing activities begin.

Museums, a farmers' market, a zoo, a sunken steamboat, Presidential history, historic homes, and amusement parks are all found here.
