@meganalexander
I always find something cute at this shop. One of the favorite things I bought at the shop was a purse that is small and holds my cell phone so that I can still see it and use it. I always find something different every time I come in.

Kansas Earth and Sky Candle Co.
@meganalexander
Kansas Earth and Sky Candles is a definite treasure for the area. I am obsessed with these candles. One of the cool things they let you do is pour your own candle. The owner of this place is very friendly and will tell you all about how they came up with their different scents. You don't want to skip this one.

Pawnee Rock State Historic Site
@meganalexander
Make a picnic and head to Pawnee Rock, KS. The kids will enjoy it in the afternoon of exploring. Check the temperature before you go as it does get fairly hot in Kansas during the summer.
Special note : Make sure you have your family use the restroom before you head towards Pawnee Rock. There are no public restrooms in Pawnee Rock.

CURATED BY
I am a Kansas native. I grew up in Great Bend, KS and have lived in the Wichita area for the last 25 years. I love to travel but also love coming home to Kansas. There are so many things to see and do here. Make sure you take the time to smell the roses and sunflowers while you are here and enjoy our beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
