Topeka is as
representative of America's fruitful heartlands as any other city. True
pioneer spirit is found all throughout the city - the Oregon Trail passed
right through here at the Kansas River ferry crossing. Enjoy the
picturesque rolling hills, trees, lakes, and grasslands. Topeka's
Expocentre and Performing Arts Center provide culture and entertainment.
Visit Gage Park, the Combat Air Museum, an Orthodox Christian museum, the
Reinisch Rose Garden, Heartland Park, Thunder Hill Speedway and much more!
Some of
our favorite attractions
Carousel in the Park
- Topeka's newly restored carousel will turn any visit to Gage Park into
something really special. Built in 1908, this timeless entertainment is
a perfect compliment to the many other Gage Park attractions. The
Carousel in the Park is located on the west side of the park, across the
street from the Reinisch Rose Garden.
