If there’s one thing that gets Kansas City residents and Midwesterners in general excited, it’s the prospect of a road trip. And with a vehicle like the Jeep Grand Cherokee , you’ll have an SUV that’s ready to see the country. But what are some good day trips from Kansas City? These three might be the best to take in your Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Big Brutus - West Mineral, KS

Believe it or not, one of the world’s largest electric shovels is in our backyard. After a roughly two-hour drive, you can see the bright orange shovel rising above the Kansas landscape. The old coal mining shovel has hosted weddings, music festivals, and much more. Once you make the trip in your Jeep Grand Cherokee, you’ll see just how special it is. The kids are sure to love the museum and all of the history held there.

Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium - Omaha, NE

Just under three hours away from KC, the Omaha Zoo has been impressing families long before it got its name in 1963. The zoo boasts a number of interesting exhibits, including the Lied Jungle and Desert Dome. Your Jeep Grand Cherokee can get you to Omaha as well, and there is plenty to do in the area. You can even make a whole weekend trip out of this Midwest city!

Weston Bend State Park - Weston, MO

If you are looking for a shorter trip from KC, Weston Bend State Park and the town of Weston are excellent escapes. The state park features a diverse trail system ranging from leisurely strolls to some legitimate hiking. While you’re in the area, be sure to stop by Weston itself. There are wineries, local shops, and more. Better yet, there is plenty of parking for your Jeep Grand Cherokee.
