This Guided Nature Walk is free with general admission.
Here at Conner Prairie, we are graced with a diversity of year-round birds, and those who migrate through each spring and autumn. Enjoy the beauty of spring migration as birds head north, resting among the trees, river, and prairie habitats. Some binoculars will be available to borrow; feel free to bring your own.
Audience: We welcome anyone who is interested in enjoying birds, or any other animals and plants we may witness during our stroll. Beginning birders are always welcome!
Access considerations: Meet your guide for this program near the tram turnaround behind the Museum Experience Center. On this one-hour out-and-back stroll, we will travel between 0.75 and 1 miles, depending on the pace of our group. From the Museum Experience Center, we will stroll down a 0.10-mile paved hill, then join the paved, flat, 10-foot-wide Prairie Trail. We will follow this partly-shaded paved trail for 0.20 miles. We will then journey along the shaded, 5-foot-wide, crushed-gravel Vista Trail. Benches are available along the route at the bottom of the hill, at 0.2 miles and 0.4 miles. At the conclusion of the program, participants will have the option to continue along the Vista Trail on their own or follow the same route back to the Museum Experience Center with the guide. This is a rain-or-shine program; please dress accordingly and bring comfort items as needed (e.g., sunscreen, hat, water). Restrooms are available in the Museum Experience Center and include accessible stalls. Please reach out to our Nature Engagement Specialist at morton@connerprairie.org if you would like to share or discuss ways we can support your access needs for this program.
