Did candlelit Christmas. It was great! Leaving the museum we left modern civilisation behind. No electricity anywhere in the village circa 1836! It was dark and the pathways were lit by the lanterns. Each house had a roaring fireplace - so close, right in front of you. The actors did a great job telling their stories. For a moment I felt like a time traveler!
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 friends brought my wife and I to check this place out. I was really interesting and fun. I loved how even though my friend works there, when she would talk to the actors, they wouldn't respond to her out of character. It is a very fun way of learning about history.
We went to the Symphony on the Prairie that Connor Prairie holds during the summertime. It was packed. But I will say that it was very nice to shop to a concert where we did not have to pay for parking. As soon as we parked there were two people who showed up with the wagon who offered assistance with bringing our items out to the lawn. There were a bunch of people already and the concert was not set to start for another hour or two. So I would suggest getting there early especially if you have a large crowd of people going along together.
We rode the helium balloon which was super cool! You could see the stage area and then the haunted corn maze that was about to start soon. We did our helium trip at around 7:30 and it was perfect because we were able to see the sun set!
The was the first time I've ever been. We went for Conner scary. The haunted hayride was great. It was SUPER busy. I went on a weekday because I thought it would be less crowded. Couldn't see much because everything was already full of people! The corn maze was very unorganized, no signs where to enter or line up. I was so irritated after waiting in a line for nothing that we didn't even do it. Overall I feel like I wasted my money.
I would like to go back sometime for their regular park.
There’s so much to do here for such a great price! There’s no way you can walk the whole place in a day too. Def recommend for families &those who visit the area!
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.
Love this place! Family friendly.
Great interaction with the past.
Concerts on the lawn are delightful.
Fall festival with Headless horseman is annual family tradition.
And I encourage you to do Follow the North Star.
We absolutely love Conner Prairie. My kids could spend all day in and outside doing activities from the indoor play area to the tree house, petting the animals, and the splash pad. They aren't interested in the town so much yet but mommy enjoys that part of Conner prairie. It's so realistic and the actors do a fantastic job of depicting what life was really like in the 1800s! And they have fun and exciting events going on all the time! Definitely recommend it for something fun to do year round!
This place is amazing!!! Went here with my mom, sister, niece, and nephew. We tried to accomplish as much as we could with their little legs, but this place is HUGE with SO MUCH to see. Great place for children AND adults! Interacting with the farm animals is so much fun. We loved how everyone stays in character too
A full days worth of things to do for younger kids. The staff are super friendly and appear to love their jobs. The old town experience is great. Kids enjoyed petting the baby farm animals.
Awesome place to go on any day. We are annual members and love it! The staff are always in character and don't ever break it. It's fun to go and experience it over and over. I love the barn with the goats, does, and sheep you can pet. I personally have never done the hot air balloon ride because it's expensive but it does look fun! After Memorial Day they have an outdoor water area where the kids can play just remember to bring extra clothes! The new tree house is fun and the kids love the sand dig there too. Overall tons of fun for all ages!
Staff always stays true to character. You cross the covered bridge and it's like you go back in time! Kids loved it!
this place is great! spent a few hours here, and did not even see everything. i definitely want to go back and spend more time. the staff was friendly, the interactive exhibits are cool, and the grounds are well maintained.
We live in Fishers and frequent CP once/week every week of the year. My daughter is 3 so it's nice to pop in to the indoor play area for 45 min in winter months so she can meet friends. The outdoor areas are our favorite part though. The Treetop Outpost and Animal Encounters are MUST SEES each time we visit. I think the front desk people could be a little more friendly but every other staff member has been great! We're excited for the new Makers Space building!
