Review & FAQ:

Found in Wichita's Chisholm Creek Park, the Great Plains Nature Center is a beautiful 240-acre property that provides another great opportunity to learn about Kansas' native plants and wildlife. Hundreds of different species of mammals, reptiles, and birds can be found in the park, and visitors are encouraged to walk along the two-miles trail that meanders through the property to see how many different animals they can spot. Another must-do activity is visiting the Koch Habitat Hall, which features a large aquarium as well as exhibits and interactive displays about the climate and history of the area.
