[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we have 11 nights, is this a good breakdown by location?

Kansas City 3 - including day of midday arrival
Des Moines 2
Omaha 3 - we're pretty set on 3 nights in Omaha
Lincoln 1
Topeka 2 - but will also go to Wizard of Oz museum and maybe also Manhattan in this time

We want to go to all of these locations but I'm mostly wondering if the Kansas City portion is too long. I've been there a long time ago but don't remember much.

Any other thoughts? We generally like to stay downtown and/or riverfront if applicable.

What kinds of things do you like to do or hope to do on this vacation?

I’ve been to the first 3 cities you listed and these were the things we did in them (traveling kids so that obviously influenced what we chose to do):
Kansas City: Royals game, they have a beautiful stadium; Negro League Baseball Museum and the American jazz museum is also located in the same place, which was cool; WWII museum; some good BBQ restaurants
Des Moines: state capitol building was very cool; science center; sculpture park
Omaha: spent an entire day at the zoo, which was spectacular, up there w San Diego zoo as best zoo we’ve been to and we’ve been to a lot 😂; the old market; the Durham museum; and an amazing playground and park by the river front

So for us, 1 day in Des Moines was plenty and in fact we could’ve easily done just a half day there, and 2 days each in Omaha and KC were sufficient but we took 1 full day to do the Omaha zoo so if you’re not all day zoo people like we are then I think Omaha could be 1-1.5 days. But we’re pretty go-and-do travelers and not as much relaxing at the hotel time built in to our trips so YMMV.[/quote]
