Defying Expectations
Topeka...not a city name you may hear often when thinking of a travel destination, but let us change that for you. A capitol city filled with heart racing fun at Heartland Motorsports Park, delicious fine dining at White Linen, Chez Yasu, Rowhouse, or the secret hidden restaurant called Luis' Place, and even nordic adventures at locations like Odin's Lair and Norsemen Brewing Company. Topeka is not what you expect, but it is unexpected! Discover the city through history, art, or the outdoors. Whatever your taste, Topeka is home to something just for you. Visit locations that were integral in the crossroads to freedom and fight for equality by visiting Brown V Board National Historic Site, The Ritchie House, or the Equality House, among many others; or catch cultural events like Fiesta Mexicana and Germanfest taking place throughout the year.
