KSDE's Sunflower Summer is back. Sunflower Summer provides a wide variety of ways for families to get out, explore something new, and enjoy time together. Kansas families can visit museums, zoos, historic landmarks and more for free! Kansas residents with students enrolled in Pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, are eligible to access 1 free ticket per child to the 90 attractions, museums, zoos and more. Via the Sunflower Summer app, each Kansas student and their parents are provided one free visit to each of the participating attractions per year. https://www.sunflowersummer.org/?fbclid=IwAR2OhuVsYUynI_tzo-dZuY_Yys-ZCwM8LT27WG7ycDUJXKKL17juB8k6ciI&mibextid=Zxz2cZ
