Conner Prairie Review

Excellent living history museum. And I love the baby animals in the encounters barn in the spring and summer.

Lovely historical place to spend the day. The highlight for us was the balloon ride.

Great place to visit. Wonderful place to hear and see the symphony! Even better when it was the 4th of July, complete with fireworks.

Very informative, gives a deep look at life in early days. Great experience for children.

Excellent trip through history. The venue also hosts different wonderful events all year long, like concerts in summer and headless horseman in the autumn.

I have come here every year to the Symphony on the Prairie since I was a little child. It is a good time with family and friends. The only problem is you spend just as much time listening to music and watching fireworks, as you do sitting in the parking lot to leave the event. This situation needs to be looked at and structured for safety and frustration after the concert.

We love going to Conner Prairie. The inside area is great with our two girls. It's a safe, great place for them to learn and play. The outside has a lot of great places for young children too. We spend a lot of time at the tree house and little splash area, but there is something for even little kids to do inside almost every house.

Had a great day with my family at Conner Prairie last weekend. From the sights, to the shopping and food to the Hot air balloon ride. Cant wait to go back!

Such a beautiful place to visit. A great place to take the family. Will be visiting again soon

So many things to do inside and out. A great time for the whole family.

Great for kids and the historically minded adults. Worth a visit!

A lot of fun for the family and very educational for both children and adults

Love, love, LOVE this place!! A little bit of everything. Great play area for kids on hot or bad weather days indoors, fun outdoor play areas for the kids on nice days. Everything you need is there, food, drinks restrooms etc which is key for a family with several children under 4. Great time, great place, we WILL be back!!!!

It was great lots of new things for kids our grandkids loved all the interaction

Good learning experience for youngsters. A lot different from when I went many many years ago.

This has always been one of my favorite places to go! You could go every day and learn something new! The improvements they are continually making make it a new experience every time. Thank you for all your hard work! Definitely make this a stop on your list!

This is one of the best living history museums ever. It has a village from 1836 and also a town from the Civil War era. People of all ages can enjoy the day here!

Saw the beach boys in concert. What a great time my family had.

We always attend the headless horseman event. Its great.

Fun for adults and children a like. Don't miss this place if you're in town!

Don't go. The group I was with aas treated horriblly. Never going again.

Excellent shows! I regret that I did not buy the family membership that day. The balloon ride is so-so.

Wonderful. Took my kids expecting 2-3 hours. Spent 6.5 & didn't do everything. Love the treetop & water area.

They recently added the Roberts Family play and my family loved it. We always enjoy connor prairie and their apple store is amazing.

Great place for kids. Have a membership and love it.

Great Indianapolis Symphony concert! Venue is well taken care, although it is summer and therefore mosquitoes season, they have the situation under control which made the outdoor concert very enjoyable.

Interesting history and the staff in character is a nice plus, but can get annoying at times. They are so kind and very knowledgeable. The kids areas are great for little ones!

Such a great experience. Thank you for bringing history to life!

Great casual venue. Bring sunglasses, the sun sets behind the stage, so the last 30 min before sunset it's right in your eyes.

I used to come here as a child, and hadn't been back in about 10 years. The history was great to relearn. It kept our family of older teens (15 & 19) entertained as was I. In the span of approximately 2 1/2 hours we wereunable to see most of the venue, including making copper bracelets.

Kids love this place. The blanket fort is an amazing idea and the workshops are really neat and hands of experience for kids.

Volunteer there on a regular basis. It teaches history without people realizing it

You only need to go once. Don't waste your money on a membership. Not worth it. Doesn't even get you in to off hour events. Nothing ever changes. You will see the same thing every single time.

I do not think it s right that they still practice slavery-era times

So many options for kids of all ages. From 6 months to 99 years

Great place for young kids and adults alike! I wasn't sure if my 5 year old would be interested in much but he loved the whole place! As an adult I would have liked to have been able to stop and read more of the signs and information but with a kid you have to go at their place somewhat which is why I say it would be great for adults or kids. The kids love running around and seeing everything but the adults could stop and read and learn a lot. When we left my son asked right away if we could go back sometime and I told him most definitely!

Loved how they stayed in character and the exhibits were informational and fun!

Good especially for children to learn of their ancestors and how they lived.

Great place for kids of all ages. Good activities for kids under 5. They have both an indoor and outdoor play area for small children. If I lived in town, I definitely would have a membership.

Solid place. Indoor and outdoor play areas. Plus they have historical parts as well. The Festival of machines is where it's at.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR EXITS! Literally have not moved for an hour.

They need more handrails for entering the historical buildings. The actors for the displays were very good.

Boney James concert at Conner Prairie. Outstanding area for a concert. love the view. outstanding seats.

Great place! Balloon ride was great. Plan on spending the day!

We have been members at Conner Prairie for a couple of years now. Great value for the price. Lots of things for kids to do and discounts for members. Always great seasonal things to do. The splash pad is especially nice in the summer. I highly recommend it for any young family.

My family goes to Conner Prairie very often. The interactions we have with people from 1836 (Prairie Town) are amazing, we have learned so much and it's fun for the kids and me. They recently added into the Treetop Experience, which is hands on learning/playing for/with the kids. CP is an awesome place.

Do not go to symphony. Parking is terrible! Takes hours literally to leave the lot!!!!!!!!!!

Had a great day out at Conner prairie. The balloon ride was fun and the views from above the prairie spectacular. The fall foliage was beautiful and the weather just perfect for wandering around the exhibits.

Conner prairie was fun I went there for my 4th grade field trip it's amazing

You need at least 2 days to see it all. Many outdoor living history exhibits. It really pays to go when the weather is nice. They do have some indoor areas to explore. Great indoor and outdoor play areas for the kids and neat living history for the adults. Everyone will love it. Concessions available.

It's one of the coolest living history museums in the country. If you want to understand how people lived in 19th century America, Conner Prairie is the place to go.

Went for the headless horseman activities and once again they were alot of fun! Conner prairie does Halloween right!

Hands on historical villages. Great for adults and kids off all ages.

They have really grown since my sons was little. Enjoyed going with my son n grandson

Great place to see open air concert and indulge in some byob

Always a memorable. Visit, no matter how many times we go! I love history, and my children are learning that they love it too!

Tried to crack the folks in town, but it didnt work. Fun stuff for the kids, and you get to learn about the Hoosiers!

A great interactive park. For younger children (<5) the indoor play area is phenomenal, the new treetop outpost is great fun, and the kiddos love getting to pet the animals at the animal encounters barn. For the big kids there is plenty of beautiful scenery, nice trails to walk, and a great deal of history to learn.

Only major issue is their "special events" where they either have a massive amount of field trips or a free day for a specific group. However this CAN be a really big problem. Were these days advertised a little better on their website then it would advise members or one time visitors to pick another day, but often they seem to pop up randomly without any notice. If you have driven a good distance to visit then you are unlikely to turn around and just go find something else to do, but similarly the crowd of often poorly chaperoned children will discourage you from staying too long (especially if you have little ones).

Never disappointed. I love summer nights at Conner Prairie. Tonight the Indiana symphony played musics from Queen and they did a great job!!!! Don't forget a blanket, lawn chairs, mini table for your food, drinks, bug spray, a flashlight (just incase) and......oh yeah, great friends and family, you will have a blast!!!

Went to a symphony the prairie and had a great time.
One of few venues where you can bring in your own food and drinks.

Great interactive learning experience for kids and adults. Plenty of parking spaces and wonderful staff.

Great place to take the family. My two children loved interacting with the actors and taking the balloon ride. Food was surprisingly good.

Great place to experience! Love the civil war area: Must see inside general store and theater-type exhibit. Go on the educator portion of the website to learn before going. Everyone is in character and sticks to their time period and its wonderful!
