The Conner Prairie Buzz

“My children love the time they spend with the people and animals at Conner Prairie and I love seeing their eager faces at every turn. My son has endless questions that are answered by the staff with such patience and willingness to fulfill his curiousity. We are glad to be members and will continue to be for many years to come.”
“The interpreters [in costume] appeared very comfortable with their roles... I wasn’t walking into a display or an exhibit, I was walking into someone’s home and life. I didn’t feel like an intruder or a museum visitor, I felt like a welcome neighbor.”
“My daughter loves visiting Conner Prairie. On a recent visit, she milked a cow, made a beaver necklace, and dipped her own candle to use at home. How many places would offer all those activities in one short afternoon? We love it!!”
“I had the best experience at Conner Prairie so far. If I grow up to have children I might bring them there about five times a year.”
“Conner Prairie is quickly setting the national standard on the immersion experience for historical and cultural learning and entertainment.”
