Great place to vacation in the summer, warm weather, Worlds of Fun, Oceans of Fun, Kansas City Zoo, CoCo Key Water Resort, Royals games, and so much more is in Kansas City and in St. Louis you have an awesome theme park Six Flags St. Louis, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor waterpark, the legendary St. Louis Zoo in Forest Park, Union Station, and so much more you can do in St. Louis. Don't forget the Lake of the Ozarks and Harry S. Truman Lake are great lakes you can have fun at too. Missouri is really fun.

Hey Kansas is great!

Added 13 years ago by guest, 1 point

Pretty much the best thing in Kansas is the stupid waterpark in Kansas City, Kansas besides that Wichita and the metro area of Kanss City, Missouri are the only fun things, you can also go to Perry Lake but I wouldn't want to as a vacation here though.

New York

New York is a popular destination for many because of New York City. Many people have never experienced a scene quite like Times Square. The busy shuffling of people getting to and from work and the constant tourist flow make New York City one of the most desired destinations to visit worldwide. In addition, New York is home to beautiful city scapes and many of America's most historic monuments.

I honestly feel Utah should be higher. It was wonderful to vacation to in the winter to go skiing with family or a partner in the winter. In the summer my family loves to vacation to Bear Lake. SLC has great shopping and food for people who like the city and great outdoor locations for more outdoorsy people. All in all great place to visit and not as hot as Arizona.
