As one of the largest cities in the Sunflower State (and a major metropolitan area of the Midwest), it’s understandable that you’d think there isn’t too much nature to be found in Wichita, KS. Sure, it’s a great city and totally worth a visit, but it’s easy to think of it as deserving of attention thanks to its wonderful museums, delicious restaurants, and fun attractions. However, it’s actually home to one of the best nature centers in Kansas! The Great Plains Nature Center is a free, indoor-outdoor facility that strives to educate the public on all the ins and outs of Kansas nature. It’s home to miles of trails, a few cool critters, and often hosts educational programming that’s perfect for the entire family. Check it out:
