Those looking for an exciting way to spend a day need not look further than the Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure. Featuring a zoo with over 300 animals and an interactive museum with seven world regions, this attraction has it all. The zoo takes visitors around the world to experience the interaction between humans, animals and nature. The museum also boasts a 3-D movie experience. The zoo is home to rare animals, including the white camel, an Indian rhino, an anteater and more.

The Yesteryear Museum is run completely by volunteers and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm year-round. Two of the museum buildings house a large collection of historic artifacts, such as farm equipment, household items, old post office items and more. Other attractions include an antique tractor, steam engines, printing equipment and horse transportation gear. A popular stop is the restored one-room schoolhouse.

Commemorating the people that have lived in the Smoky Hill region in the past and present, the Smoky Hill Museum also features a variety of educational exhibits. Children especially enjoy the Prairie Education Lab and the One Keeper's Place, where interactive activities are offered. A museum store is located on the premises.
