El Dorado
El Dorado, Kansas exhibits a rich history of development and innovation. Our modern city maintains its humble roots while offering some of the finest shopping, restaurants, museums and recreation in the area. Offering a wide variety of industrial and civic opportunities, El Dorado proudly upholds its motto, “The Fine Art of Living Well.â€
Touring local museums and art rooms will provide the quintessential cultural experience. Home to four museums and several additional memorials, exhibits, and sculptures, it is nearly effortless to spend an afternoon immersed in the arts. A mere walk through our historic downtown can offer not only an educational experience as visitors are exposed to sixteen unique sculptures, but also distinctive dining and shopping opportunities. From chocolate and summer dresses to fine wines and flowers, you’ll find it in El Dorado.
The “Living Well†motto extends its hands far beyond the arts. El Dorado is home to outdoor offerings for all ages. Enjoy the fall foliage on the bike path, cheer on the Broncos summer baseball team, or beat the heat at one of our two splash parks. Located just northeast of downtown, El Dorado Lake offers 8,000 acres of liquid fun and 4,000 acres of developed parks and recreation areas. Amenities include a variety of hiking, biking and horse trails, nearly 1,100 campsites and ten rentable cabins. Our gateway to the beautiful tall grass prairie of the Flint Hills will delight you.
