REVIEWS OF Great Plains Nature Center IN Kansas

Roger Martin

Great place for a walk or to explore nature, especially for those living in the city. Free admission is always a plus! There are some neat activities from week to week for kids (ie. crafts, special presentations, etc)

NM Patton

First time here. Great place to visit. Will be back with family.

Javier Rivera

Free, fun, educational facility. This review is for the indoor nature center, not the chisholm park trails and walks. The nature center is awesome because it is free, they have lots of animal and plant exhibits. Aquarium also. They had a live tiny owl when I went! It was great. They exhibit other species from time to time. Towards the back of the building they have a really great observation room with large windows next to the river and bird feeders. There's couches and nature magazines where you can sit and admire nature.

We visited on August 19, 2017. First, took a one and half mile walk down both paved and dirt paths. We saw several turtles in the pond and caught sight of three deer who stopped by for a cool drink. The grandkids were thrilled to see them up close. Next, we stopped by the nature center. Really enjoyed the hands-on exhibits and the observation room. We will definitely be back!

If you live in Wichita or are visiting, GO HERE! This is a great place to bring the kids or to go for some solitude. The trails are in wonderful condition. They are paved other than the boardwalk area. You can see many native species while out walking and if you start at the visitor's center first you can get food for the turtles. There are lots of benches along the path to rest or have a picnic too! The visitor's center is amazing. There are fantastic exhibits about native plants and animals including several live animals such as an owl, kestrel, frog, and lizards. There is also an aquarium with native fish. The displays have tons of information and they are interactive for children. All of the displays are very professionally done. The gift shop has some really great stuff too! This is a must do if you're in the area, and it's free!

Incredible place to go, especially if you've got kids who love nature. The displays and learning experiences inside are great too.

Pam Huff

I walk out there 3 or 4 times a week. Its Beautiful. I just wish more People would respect. The rules no bikes on walking paths or dogs in the park.

Liz Yvonne

Staff is friendly and informative! Teaching about animals native to Kansas. So much quality in this center. My kids and I always enjoy it. They have many family activities that young and old will enjoy! Some favorites have been spider hunting, archery club and the fishing clinics! And it’s all free, I do suggest making donations and shopping in the cutest gift shop to give back to the hard and loving work the staff put into this wonderful nature center!

Cassandra Falconburg

It is a BEAUTIFUL nature center and the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and great with kids! I was totally impressed with how much they know about local wildlife and everyone on their staff has a deep love for the animals and what they do!! I recommend this as one of the top 3 places to go for accurate wildlife facts and experiences! Love you guys!! Keep up the great work that you do for the public! Anyone who goes here should definitely consider donating to this center... a lot of the staff work on a volunteer basis.

Awesome walking and biking trails! There's usually cool wildlife to spot while enjoying the miles of well-beaten trails. You can look for wild birds squirrels, ducks, geese, rabbits, and sometimes beavers.

Jeanette Clement

My favorite place in Wichita! Where else can you learn about the Kansas Prairie for FREE?! Explore the beautiful trails, the museum inside and ask if a naturalist is available to explain all about the amazing education animals located at the nature center. I'm obsessed!

Brian Hoffman

Really fun place to take kids.

I brought my family here the other day and everyone had a blast. As soon as we walk in we were greeted with a bunch of turtle at the desk. The kids were able to touch and feed them. They loved the hands on displays about wildlife and the huge aquarium at the back. The park is great with many different paths. There are small lakes with bridges to cross filled with turtles of all sizes and large fish. We also saw a few deer. Awesome place....best part it's free.

Very clean and educational, safe and quiet, great for exercise or just a stroll, excellent bird watching stop's along the way. A catch and release lake that is perfect for a child's first catch. Fun.

Interesting place

Best walk in town

I brought my kiddos here during spring break for some much needed sunshine. We have never been before and we will definitely be going more often. First of all, it’s entirely free. You can donate if you want to. There are plenty of walking trails that are clean for being a nature trail. It’s easy to navigate. You’re surrounded by nature and it’s an awesome way to learn about the prairie land. There’s an inside building if you need to use the restroom, and there are some live creatures in there. There is also a walk through type museum with an area where kids can touch as much as they want. It really is super neat to experience. They have a wildlife observation room with big windows and comfy couches to look at wildlife. On Tuesdays they offer a free craft for kids and I think there’s a story-time offered either the same day or a different day.

My grandsons, ages 8 and 6, enjoyed the interactive exhibits. Some of them didn't work but the ones that worked were fun. It was too warm today to walk the trails.

Miriam Carney

You don't only get exercise you also get to let your kids explore in a on hands exhibit it's awesome for the whole family

This is a great place to take a walk. There are several different lengths of trails and also a bicycle trail. When we were taking our walk, we saw geese as well as ducks on or near the ponds. We also walked within a couple hundred feet of some white tailed deer. The trails are open from dawn to dusk. This is definitely a five star nature trail.

Trey Willfong

I had a very relaxing visit with nature. Shot some great pictures and video.

Very good place to go if you like calm strolls in the woods. Great indoor facility as well. I loved the environment too. The only problem is the geese that stay on the path and won’t move. THEY WILL FIGHT YOU!!!

Net Cyanide

Staff is Great! Took my little sisters there and they got to feed turtles! They have alot of events for children so check them out! It is not a Zoo so dont expect to see so many animals! This is nature so you have to find them but they can sell you turtle food for $0.50(hint: they are near the bridges) Also a very cool museum!

I think our three little boys would take up residence here if we would let them. They love it and so do I.

Daniel Hall

This is one of my favorite places to visit. Walking trails and fishing

Peggy Bruce

The people who helped us were very informative and helpful. The process of getting our pass was handled well and it didn't take long to get our passes.

We drove all the way out, with our dog along for the ride, only to get there and discover they don't allow pets. I combed the website before we left and there was no mention of this restriction. Very disappointed. I'm sure the park is great, but we never got to enjoy it.

DEBBY CLARK

I love it here.The turtles are my favorite! I always take company from out of town and everyone is always very impressed! It's a big hit with Children and it's free...great place to take family!

Always enjoy bringing my family here, or a nice walk by myself just to get away in nature. We've been coming here for over 10 yrs. The turtles are awesome along with exploring the rest of the creatures.

A wonderful nature center with many trails. I would just be cautious for activity in the parking lot as we saw a car slowly drive across the grass and snooping into cars as we were walking away.
