Had a really nice outside area. I am blind so I don’t care as much about the museum part, but the outside was quite nice and peaceful.

We took a full moon tour with a naturalist, which was a beautiful and peaceful walk across the plains. We visited the teepee and reconstructed sod houses, which looked intriguing in the moonlight. I recommend the experience.

Wonderful experience with our kids! We love taking a step back into history, and learning all about our native prairie animals!

It was a wonderful experience for adults and kids. Educational, fun, crafty and yummy! The workers, volunteers, docents and security are all very friendly and appear to enjoy their jobs. I will return for other events.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What if you like, travel alone and a snake attacks you?

It completely depends on the snake and your capability to handle emergency situations. If you are bitten by a non-venomous snake then you have nothing to worry about except for some fright and physical pain. You'll leave with a fun story to tell. If, however, you are bitten by a venomous snake, well, a first aid kit might help if you know what you're doing but a cell phone will help even more. Dial 911, tell them where you are, that you were bitten by a snake and that you think it might be venomous. If you can, capture or kill the snake so the doctors can identify it and get you the proper anti-venom.

I was walking around the perimeter of plains conservation center at 7am today and see no prairie dogs-where are they?

Frank Zebley | Aug 20, 2018

In early spring, like this, they all take a leave of absence from Colorado and visit their south of the Border brethren, the Chinchilla. They stay there until the springs rains have stopped then return to Colorado wherein they begin digging anew and prepping for winter. Its really fascinating, actually. Sometimes you can even catch sight of them during their migrations as they ride upon the backs of geese who, naturally, head south for the summer.
