6 Labyrinths to Visit in Kansas

So you want to visit a labyrinth in Kansas. I can help. I have selected 6 of the best (there are over 30) that are accessible to the public from around the state, focusing on large population areas. If you want a full list of labyrinths in the state check out the Worldwide Labyrinth Finder.

Before we get to my recommendations for Kansas I want to tell you about some statistics about labyrinths in the USA from some research I did. If you are interested in knowing things like what the largest labyrinth is in the US, where the Northernmost, Southernmost labyrinths are in the US, and similar questions, it is worth a read: Questions about US Labyrinths Answered. All of these Kansas answers and statistics were part of that research. We start with a chart summarizing the data from Kansas:

Kansas Labyrinth Chart

Here is how Kansas compares to the USA. Kansas ranks #2 in the USA for the average size of labyrinths in the state. This is partly because it ranks 40th in the US for indoor labyrinths which are typically smaller than outdoor.

Why visit a Labyrinth ?

Labyrinths are ancient and mysterious symbols that have been used for centuries for meditation, contemplation, and spiritual renewal. They are also a lot of fun to explore! If you're looking for a unique and challenging experience, walk a labyrinth with intention - it often leads to self-discovery. Personally, I like to walk labyrinths between dawn and sunrise or at sunset until dusk, but any time of day works. You may not realize it, but there is probably a labyrinth near where you live. Today we explore…
