Prairiefire Is The Perfect Kansas Day Trip Destination

Looking for a day trip in Kansas? We have plenty of attractions here. Beautiful state parks, wonderful historic sites, charming small towns… the Sunflower State really has it all! One spot that we’re especially fond of is Prairiefire. This shopping center is about half an hour away from Kansas City, and we know it sounds weird to call a shopping center a “day trip.” But trust us, this isn’t like your typical shopping center!

Prairiefire is a 60-acre mixed-use development in Overland Park that’s like a mini town all on its own.

The area’s most popular attraction is the Museum at Prairiefire, one of the best natural history museums in Kansas.

This is a great family-friendly destination with 42,000 square feet of educational opportunities. There are permanent and rotating exhibits, virtual reality experiences, and more.

There are plenty of other great spots to get food at Prairiefire, though. We love Rock and Brews, a chain co-owned by Gene Simmons, the lead singer of KISS. It’s a great place to grab some delicious food and a beer.

Chicken ‘N Pickle is great fun. Here, you can stuff yourself with wood-fired chicken while playing pickleball and other lawn games like Connect Four and cornhole.
