Finding something to do when you suddenly have extra weekend time might be as easy as dusting off your bucket list and picking somewhere to go. Or, if you’re planning to go on a trip soon, take an extra day to really explore your destination. Long weekends are always worthwhile, especially when you’re exploring Kansas’ best places.
Manhattan is a great place in Kansas that's half city and half college town. There's so many food options to try out while you're here, and a stay at their local bed and breakfasts will make everything perfect.
Atchison is a town that loves their haunted houses, and they'll have stories to go with each and every one. Of course, you can't stop by without trying Iron Horse, Mr. G's, or Jerry's Again. Might as well try them all!
