Sure! There's a zoo in Kansas City which is pretty close by and a reeeally big Sedgwick County Zoo. There's even a little nature center here in Lawrence which would be easy for you to visit. You can see wild animals from other places up close and learn about them and their anatomy and their environments. It'll be great for your science education.
And museums? TONS! There's an art museum and a few history museums and a natural history museum, and loads of other brilliant stuff, all right here in the city! There's also an aquarium, but I'm thinking you don't really need that!
