Garry's Berries



Welcome back!
Since it’s officially fall I decided to pick a festive place for this blog post. Today, I will be talking about Gary’s Berries. Gary’s Berries is located about 20 minutes outside of Topeka in Grantville, Kansas and is a great place to go. My sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, recently went for a sisterhood event and it was so much fun.
While many people go to Gary’s Berries to take Instagrams and to explore the corn maze, there are lots of different attractions. They have pig races, a ton of goats, pumpkin bowling, a tornado simulation, and “barnyard golfing” to name a few. The corn maze is one of their most popular attractions and is very difficult. Other attractions include a hayride, two oversized trampolines, and the infamous giant rocking chair. Also, every Friday night at nine they host a fireworks show.

In addition to these attractions Gary’s Berries has many different food options. In addition to typical fair foods, such as turkey legs, cotton candy, hot dogs, hamburgers, and curly fries, they have many different fall themed foods. Some of these fall themed foods include apple cider slushes, pumpkin donuts, s'mores, and caramel apples.

While admission is somewhat expensive for college students at $12.95, they offer discounts for large groups and host many half-price nights. They also host a Halloween themed storybook reading night for field trips and offer corporate team building activities. Gary’s Berries is only open on weekend during September and October so much sure to visit before they close for the season! I’ve been to Gary’s Berries twice this year and both times were a lot of fun!

Thanks for visiting!

Introduction

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog, A College Student's Guide to Topeka! My name is Melissa King and I'm currently a college student attending Washburn University in Topeka, KS. Throughout this semester I am going to be trying to find fun and exciting things to do in Topeka on a college student's budget. I decided to choose this topic because I'm new to Topeka and I want explore where I will be attending school for the next four years. I also chose this topic because many college students don't take advantage of what their college town has to offer and I hope this gives them some inspiration. Each post will be me talking about a free or cheap activity that I have found done in Topeka. Through this blog I hope to encourage you to explore Topeka and learn more about the Kansas capital! See you in Topeka!

Washburn Student Recreation and Wellness Center

Welcome back! The first place I will be talking about is the Student Recreation and Wellness Center here at Washburn University. The SRWC is free for Washburn students and is an awesome place for those looking to find a place to have fun while also taking care of yourself. On the first floor of the SRWC there is a three-court gym where students can play basketball, volleyball, badminton and other sports. Also on the first floor there is the infamous 25 foot rock wall where more adventurous students can challenge themselves. I haven't gotten the courage to do this yet, but my friends and I may in the future. The second floor is home to fitness loft and walking track. The fitness loft contains lots of fitness equipment ranging from treadmills and stair masters for beginners to weight sets for more hardcore exercisers. The walking track outlines the first floor, and overlooks Yager stadium where you can often watch various sporting events taking place. The SWRC also has many opp...
