Tallgrass prairie once covered 170 million acres of North America. Now, only four percent of this grassland remains, so many children have not had the opportunity to explore this unique environment. The Discovery Center maintains a native prairie grass and wildflower habitat in front of and to the south of our museum. Explore the prairie with our expert prairie manager Vivien Smith on Saturday, October 19 at 1:30 pm at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center.
The prairie is outside the museum grounds, so admission is not required for this activity.
To enter the museum, regular admission applies, which is $7.75 for children and adults, $6.75 for seniors, and free for infants under 12 months and KCDC members. Admission also lets you play all day at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center with over 15,000 square feet of indoor educational exhibits exploring science, careers, art, building and more, plus a 4.5 acre certified Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom.
