Review & FAQ:

Nestled in the Flint Hills region, the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve protects a significant piece of the unique tallgrass prairie ecosystem. The 11,000-acre park is criss crossed with hiking trails for visitors to enjoy, and self-guided cell phone tours are offered for visitors who want to learn as much about the area as possible. There is also a special Junior Rangers program for kids, and historic lawn games from the 1880s are available by request. The park is open year-round, but the height of the grass varies according to the season, and the tallest grass can be seen in September and October.
