Book Description

Enjoy a welcome change of pace and discover a world you may not know exists in your own backyard. Day Trips(R) describes hundreds of fascinating and exciting things to do, many free of charge and most within a two-hour drive of Kansas City. Enjoy a steam bath or massage, then belly up to the longest mineral-water bar in the world at the Historic Hall of Waters. Journey to the Marvelous Land of Oz Museum and explore the magic of Munchkinland, the Haunted Forest, and Emerald City. Visit Shelter Gardens and stroll through the Garden for the Blind, a wheelchair-accessible garden with plants carefully arranged so visitors can touch and smell them. Check out Big Brutus, an eleven-million-pound mining shovel with a dipper that is large enough to hold a wedding reception, private party, or family reunion.
