What travelers are saying
- Casey I5 contributionsThis place is fantastic for children. We got to bottle feed the goats, stroll through the butterfly garden, and ride the horse-drawn carriage. There are so many animal exhibits and playgrounds that the kids will have fun for hours. We didn’t get a chance to check out the shopping area but it looked so quaint. It was a very affordable day trip.Written July 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KJDC19Overland Park, KS180 contributionsGreat for families and people year round. Lots to see and do besides the lovely flowers and trees on display. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an outdoor activity in JoCoWritten April 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TSP2014Colleyville, TX322 contributionsThis museum tells the history of Johnson County through the years. The highlight is an actual all-electric 1950s house. They had a few interactive things for kids, but they might get board. If you are in the Overland Park area, this is worth a stop. It also has a very affordable entry price as well ($6/adult).Written June 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Herman02Phoenix, AZ396 contributionsFrom the awesome outside to the all the neat things to see inside, this is really a must see/do at least once when you are in the area!! There is a small charge to see the exhibits inside, but, not much and worth it... they do change up from time to time, so if it's been a few years, go back and check it out.Written June 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paige FSpring Green, WI32 contributionsVisited from out of state with family that lives there. It was everyone’s first time. We loved it. Everyone is so kind and it is spaced out for social distancing. Wonderful donuts and coffee for walking around. We brought back lots of goodies.Written August 6, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Al S3 contributionsDay after Thanks giving, lots of people, Hard to find a parking spot.

The inside is well maintained and parking has never been an issue for us.Written December 12, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Previa1994Chicago, IL5,704 contributionsIndian Creek Greenway Trail is an awesome trail for biking. The approximately 17-mile long trail is asphalt-paved and runs on the banks of Indian Creek most of the time. Several community parks go by along the trail. A few spots have some steep hills, and some low spots may be flooded or muddy in wet conditions. It runs most of the time trough woods, but being in urban area, highway noise is not too far off. Pretty elaborate Historical Waymarkers are installed every few miles along the trail.
Indian Creek Greenway is highly popular and used by walkers, runners, and cyclists. It connects up with two other beautiful trails - Blue River Greenway and Tomahawk Creek Greenway.Written May 9, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We loved the 1950's house! Just a family friendly place.Written June 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lighthouselovertooKansas6,985 contributionsThis memorial is in front of the Overland Park, Kansas Fire Training Center. There is a steel girder from the World Trade Center, a "Weeping Wall" with water flowing, floor tiles from the World Trade Center. A panel lists the names of the people killed in the terrorist attacks on 9/11/Written July 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- magastonOverland Park, KS12 contributionsThis isn't big but it is powerful. It is on the corner of a relatively busy intersection, but parking is free and it is easy to find. Since it is very close to my house, I drive by often and I am amazed that almost every time I go by there are people visiting.Written November 18, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BrumbaSavage, MN142 contributionsThis group was wonderful!!! It’s nine blokes in an Ireland pub singing a variety of pop, rock and jazz with a few basic instruments. Their voices are the main wonderful event.
Carlsen Center has events most weekends. They have a variety of styles, and tastes in their presentations and at decent prices, so look at them on the weekend here in the southwest KC suburbs and see what they have.Written February 22, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Go to a Dillard's or Macy's and you'll need to be medicated for the intense feeling of clinical depression. Von Maur is always well organized, and the staff is very engaging. It is my go to spot for baby gifts (2nd floor). Most are reasonably priced plus they will gift wrap and ship it for free. They also have good house warming gifts. Every year I can always find a few things in the Men's section that become staples - both for work and fun.Written February 14, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anne N6 contributionsWe did not expect to find an art gallery of astonishing quality at a community college, and were a bit skeptical when a friend recommended we stop here, but we're so glad we did! As I told the docents, you know that a collection is well curated when the building seems to have been built especially for the pieces on display. Our party of Mexicans and Americans enjoyed our time so much that we would have stayed another hour if we hadn't been on a schedule. We all left with a gorgeous coffee table book featuring the Oppenheimer Collection, and we enjoyed the first-floor gallery with a rotating exhibition of artists from the state of Kansas. Highly recommended for contemporary art lovers!Written August 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- R Rkansas city16 contributionsI've been coming here with my kids for over ten years. The plays are top-notch. Bring a couple of dollars for some home made desserts before the show.
People who work here are always so friendly.Written July 28, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
