There's nothing more beautiful than a spring day in Kansas, right? On days when the weather is nice, we think the best thing to do is get out and explore! We've gathered together all the most beautiful (and fun!) places to go this spring, and they're all great additions to anyone's Kansas bucket list. Let's take a look!

1. The Big Well — Greensburg

After a disaster, one of the only things still standing is this amazing well, the largest hand-dug well ever made. Of course, the new facility built here is beautiful and tells the history of a city rebuilding one brick at a time.

2. Bartlett Arboretum — Belle Plaine

This gorgeous garden has been hiding out right under our noses in Belle Plaine. There's plenty of flowers and trees every spring to enjoy, as well as a scenic bridge overlooking water features. What more could you want?

3. The Flint Hills Nature Trail

This long nature trail is a doozy to walk, but as long as you've got the time, it's a wonderful trail through the hills that are just begging to be explored.

4. The Overland Park Arboretum

This beautiful arboretum is one of my favorite places to pass time, with plenty of statues at every turn to keep you exploring. You'll find that the waterfall surrounded by greenery is the perfect place to be on a spring day.

5. The Insect Zoo — Manhattan

If you're not too bugged out by insects, feel free to visit the Insect Zoo to get a look at their habitats and what they do for the world. There is a live beehive and a few insect (and arachnid) friends you can handle if you're brave enough, as well.

6. Table Mound Trail — Elk City Lake

This hiking trail around Elk City Lake is filled with plenty of scenic views, but a sunset through the trees over the lake is by far something everyone should see. Don't believe me? Take a walk through the foliage and find out for yourself!

7. A Treehouse stay at Timber Creek — Winfield

Have you ever wished there was an adult version of the treehouses you played in as a kid? Well, there is now! This is the only treehouse room in Kansas where you can spend the night, so don't forget it's here! The sounds of spring surrounding you will soothe you to sleep every time.

8. Coronado Heights — Lindsborg

Exploring Coronado Heights doesn't take long, but the story behind it deserves some explaining. This mini castle is great for a picnic, and you'll find plenty of memories here even if you don't find the city of gold.

9. Santa Fe Trail tracks — Dodge City

We know how much of our history and development is thanks to wagons and those that traveled the trail, but we don't have much left to remember them by besides the tracks they left in the ground over the years.

10. Abandoned Stone Cellars — Flint Hills

This spring, visit these old stone structures among the flint hills that you can only see with a guided tour from The Volland Store. Come check it out sometime!

This abandoned and decrepit dairy farm is part of a trail in Dornwood Park where you can explore how nature is slowly taking over this stone building.

12. Sandsage Bison Range — Garden City

If you're a fan of bison, then you'll love taking a tour of this bison range and getting up close to what is probably our largest native mammal. When's the last time you watched a herd of bison roaming the prairie right in front of you?

13. Cross Timbers State Park — Toronto

Cross Timbers is a lakeside state park that's full of rock formations and mossy paths that make you feel like you're in a storybook forest. It's like an adventure in your own backyard.

14. Arikaree Breaks — NW corner of Kansas

Water, sand, and silt came together to create Arikaree Breaks, a region of Kansas in our northwest corner that's nothing short of stunning. There's nothing more unexpected than this beauty, right here in Kansas.
