Posted Nov 26, 2024 12:22 AM

Flint Hills Discovery Center has announced that their new exhibit, Stepping into the Prairie, is open. This interactive exhibit recreates the sights and sounds of the tallgrass prairie through the use of immersive video technology. 

Step into the Prairie as you:

  1. Interact with a tallgrass prairie ecosystem that evolves through four seasons and day/night cycles in just 10 minutes;
  2. Run, jump, and wave your arms as plants and animals react to your gestures and movements;
  3. Hop across a digital field as you watch a prairie fire emerge from every footstep;
  4. Leap onto an animal track and watch that animal scurry out of the grass and across the prairie;
  5. Design your own prairie creatures in the “Paint the Prairie” interactive.

Stepping into the Prairie is open through May 18, 2025. Regular admission rates apply.
