Hotels in Shawnee

Lose yourself in the leafy trails of Shawnee Mission Park, where a 120-acre lake beckons kayakers and anglers alike. The Johnson County Museum and its quirky 1950s All-Electric House offer a perfectly preserved slice of mid-century Americana. Summer evenings come alive at Theatre in the Park, where locals spread blankets under stars for outdoor performances. Kids squeal with delight at Wonderscope Children's Museum while parents plot their next coffee stop. Shawnee Town 1929 recreates history with such meticulous detail you'll half-expect to see Model Ts puttering down the street. After working up an appetite on Tomahawk Hills Golf Course, follow residents to their favorite local eateries – they're surprisingly passionate about where you should get your barbecue.
