Next, head to one of the surrounding historic sites, such as Old Prairie Town at Ward-Meade or the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site. Educational attractions don’t stop there, as Topeka is also home to the Combat Air Museum, the Museum of the Kansas National Guard, and the Great Overland Station Museum.
Guests in our Topeka hotels can also check out local and international art at the Mulvane Art Museum, do a walking tour of the many murals scattered around downtown, or enjoy a show at either the Topeka Performing Arts Center or the Topeka Civic Theatre & Academy.
Guests staying at Topeka hotels shouldn’t miss the excellent outdoors activities that the area has to offer as well. Stroll along Lake Shawnee, where you can also go boating, fishing, swimming, golfing, or camping. Alternatively, enjoy a day at the Ted Ensley Gardens, the Ward-Meade Park Botanical Gardens, or the Topeka Zoo. In the evening, head downtown for the top Kansas fare and entertainment.
