Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Kansas Speedway
Kansas Speedway attracts for the noise, speed and highly coded atmosphere of American car racing. Even off-week-end NASCAR, ring, stands and commercial approaches to Village West give a different picture of Kansas City, oriented towards mechanical sport and large gatherings.
Culture and heritage
Strawberry Hill Museum
Set in a Victorian home in Kansas City, Kansas, the Strawberry Hill Museum highlights the Croatian, Slovenian, Polish and Eastern Europe communities of the neighbourhood. The furnished pieces, costumes, religious objects and family memories tell of a worker's immigration that is very present in local history.
Museum
Museum at Prairiefire
The Museum at Prairiefire first recognizes itself to its colourful glass facade, designed to evoke prairie fires. Inside, scientific and natural exhibitions, often linked to large museum institutions, speak well to families, with fossils, manipulations and devices designed to learn by moving.
Nature and landscape
Overland Park Arboretum
I'm not sure what I'm doing.Overland Park Arboretum The garden, undergrowth, restored meadows and trails to the south of the agglomeration. Roseraies, sculptures, footbridges and wetlands make up a slower exit than the neighbouring museums, especially pleasant in spring for flowering or in autumn for foliage.
