Sunflower Summer is BACK! From July 12 to August 3, Kansas families can explore more than 200 attractions across the state for free through the Sunflower Summer program. Just download the app, pick a spot, and go have fun. (Our very own Santa Fe Trail Center is included!)
Quick heads up: The Kansas Legislature now limits tickets to one adult per transaction. If you're going with more than one adult, only one adult ticket will be covered and the rest will need to pay regular admission. All Kansas students in Pre-K through 12th grade are included and get in free.
