The Flint Hills Discovery Center is a dynamic tribute to the last major stand of unbroken tallgrass prairie. This 35,000 square foot must-see attraction includes interactive exhibits highlighting the science, history and culture of the ecoregion from pre-history to present day. An immersive experience theater with panoramic photography and special effects shown on a 120-degree curved screen is the perfect starting point for an exploration of the magnificent Flint Hills of Kansas.

The Discovery Center offers trips to various locations in the area. Today was a gallery tour in Kansas City, MO and an outdoor Discovery center in the same area. The Buttonwood Gallery had artwork for sale supporting the Konza Prairie. The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art offered a variety of upcoming artists’ work on display and a wonderful lunch venue. Each location had someone to provide an overview of the site. These bus tours are an excellent value and provide new experiences each time. The Flint Hills Discovery Center is a wonderful venue for all ages and interests. Highly recommend a visit and a bus tour when available.

Even though I'm from Manhattan, I'd never visited the other side of the gardens that has more flowers and the bigger fountain. So, I went there with my family after graduation for pictures. It was so nice out and the flowers were beautiful! The photos were great!

I was able to enjoy swimming with our grandson. It is a very nice swim facility. We were actually there in July, 1919.

Nice way to spend an hour or so. Not huge, but still has some interesting specimens. Red pandas are adorable! And just watching prairie dogs can be entertainment in itself.

We just wanted to see a college football game and Manhattan is just a couple hours from KC. Pretty road trip to a lovely venue with nice fans, reasonable tickets, and lots of fun.
