NATURE CENTER

Great Plains Nature Center

Wichita, KS | Sedgwick County

This center is a great primer for all ages to learn about the woodlands, prairies, lakes, and wetlands. You can view the root system of the famous big bluestem grass, and kids will love the hands-on exhibits and the giant aquarium. More than two miles of paved nature trails are at your disposal in the adjacent Chisholm Creek Park.
