Review:

Located just one hour west of Kansas, Hays is a great day-trip destination which offers many interesting attractions for visitors.

If you love museums you should make the Sternberg Museum of Natural History your first stop. Here you can admire live animals, dinosaur fossils and much more. Afterwards, make your way to the Ellis County Historical Museum to learn about pioneer life in Kansas.

You can delve into the city’s historic past on a self-guided walking tour (download the details) of Downtown Hays where many historic buildings now house vibrant shops, restaurants, galleries and art centers.

If you would like some exercise you can walk, cycle or skate at several local parks and nature trails.
