We had a great day on our first visit to connor prairie. There was alot of people dressed up and telling you about how they would have lived. My son at 11 was bored by some stuff but loved the tree top area. I would highly recommend.

Conner Prairie is one of our favorite outdoor summer evening concert venues in Indy/Fishers. Family friendly, BYOB and food. Its nice to arrive when the gates open early and enjoy food and drinks with friends beforehand. Bathrooms can get a little busy during intermission. Like any concert venue, parking is always super slow getting out, not worth rushing to get back to your car. Ive been here countless times and have never had any issues with bugs. Pack a wagon, blanket & cooler and be ready to enjoy the outdoors!

Had a wonderful day there with my young teen daughter. We both learned a lot and really enjoyed talking with the people in this town set in 1836. Wish we would have had more time to see it all.

This place is an absolute must visit, especially if you have kids. Conner Prairie is massive, with different settings and villages all built around providing a living history experience. As an adult, I found this place to be fascinating from a historical perspective, but my kids were the ones that really loved it. With a massive treehouse, lots of animals, buildings to explore, and indoor/outdoor play areas, they could easily spend an entire day here. I felt the reenactors did a great job of interacting with the kids as well. With the cost of tickets, I would recommend looking in to an annual pass if you plan on visiting more than once. They also have a military discount as well. We came here first thing on a Sunday morning and had the place to ourselves! Definitely try coming during an off-time to maximize the experience.

Very cool experience going up in the hot air balloon! Tickets are purchased separate from admission at following rate: $17/adult, $10/children, under 2 is free. About a 15 minute ride from take off to landing.We visited on a HOT hot day but there is plenty of shade and places to rest (dining areas and plenty of benches throughout)We visited the children’s indoor play area on our way out as the temps got worse, and it was incredible! Lots of fort building, imaginative play, craft area, books, etc. Tons of opportunity to get the wiggles out for our 2 kids under 5.The park also allowed us to bring a small cooler in with a light lunch for the kiddos, and we were welcome to eat on the property with our packed lunch.

Very good place. It is very kid friendly, and tons of great people working here. If your kids like Conner Prairie enough, they can apply to be a Youth Volunteer at 10! Super fun place.

My sister and I flew in from Texas to visit my father and his wife. It was my first time in Indiana. My father bought tickets for us to go see the Stars Spangle Banner Orchestra Symphony. It was my first time to ever experience a symphony. The whole experience was beautiful and emotional. Since it hits to home. My father served in the Army. It was a pleasure to enjoy the whole orchestra and especially the fireworks afterwards. They were absolutely beautiful.

I have been going out to Connor Prairie ever since I was 2 years old. Something I always loved about it was the feeling of stepping back in time and the historical accuracy of the homes. I haven’t been out to Connor Prairie in 8 years today me and my husband decided to go out there again. I couldn’t believe how much it has changed the old time feeling was gone but the part that was the most heartbreaking was the Connor house. There was a screen in every room the old furniture was gone and the beautiful old wall paper was replaced with paint. Honestly it was extremely disappointing to see how modern it has become. Definitely will never be going back it’s a shame what it has turned into out there

We brought our kids (ages 6 months to 14 years) here. This place is awesome! Its interactive. There are so many places to play for all ages. Its so much better than the Indianapolis Childrens Museum. Less crowded. Very few things were encased and/or roped off. Its a fun place to interact and learn about history. I hope we get a chance to come back for the holiday events.

Wonderful place for all ages. A must for any tourist. Great. Experience and highly recommend even if you are not a history lover.

Had a great time with the grand kids.

Such a cute experience, went because it was part of the Indy pass and was floored. Very interactive and engaging, the staff was so helpful, very family friendly. Something for little kids to do and stuff for older kids to do. Covered all bases, hard to find a educational and engaging experience to cover different age ranges. I would definitely visit again.

The staff is helpful and friendly. The grounds are clean and well maintained. Absolutely wonderful experience for the kids or the young at heart. What more could you ask for.

Showed up this morning with my pre purchased tickets to enjoy a day with my family only to learn that they are making all of there guests wear masks again regardless of vaccination status. No where else that we have visited or stayed in the area has required guests to do this and I am not going to bow to the mask mandates anymore so we left. I think that the fact that they had waited until the day after labor day to begin this says something about them as well. If they are so concerned about our health then why did they not enforce this on Labor day the day with the highest possibility of spreading the virus due to increased numbers of visitors? I rarely leave reviews but I am done with the masking and with the businesses that enforce them.

The venue is in a sort of natural amphitheater, and people sort of combine picnicking and tailgating on the lawn there.

This is a really neat place. The facilities are always clean. Its well-maintained and there are many things to do. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have worked to continually update and add to the attractions.Admittance isnt cheap and the helium balloon ride costs extra. The helium ride is a unique experience. It is worth the cost if youre able to spend a whole day here.Please like if my review was helpful.

Great experience going back to 1830s walking through the beautiful town.

This is such a wonderful place to visit! Be prepared though, wear comfortable walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather because most of it is outside. I saw many people there who definitely werent prepared. The living history volunteers are so great, and took time to answer all of our questions!

Conner Prairie is as good as interactive history museums get, but be warned, thats exactly what this place is: An Interactive Museum. While you can definitely wander around, dont be put off if you find yourself being led around (sometimes literally by the hand) from exhibit to exhibit by the residents of the village. The newer edition to the museum, the Dupont Indiana section, is even more theatrical and structured than the original village is. So if youre thinking this is just a cool old 1800s village to explore and walk around in, you may want to travel down to Spring Mill state park for that experience. This is definitely a more guided experience, geared more toward educating kids and adults who want to see living history presented in a way very few museums can do. If that sounds like something youre into, then Conner Prairie cant be beat.

Great place for young kids and adults alike! I wasnt 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!

We love going to Conner Prairie. The inside area is great with our two girls. Its 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.

An interactive museum set in the early 1820s and 30s, just years after Indiana became a state. Great for a family trip of field trip. Keep in mind, the museum is closed on Mondays and there will be plenty of walking. Nonetheless, it is a wonderful place to check out.

I was wowed that the presentations were something like out of Disney World. In order for it to be so realistic feeling, the presentations combine physical props with digital ones that is high quality. You really feel like you’ve traveled back in time. My husband and I had a Great time. He went a lot as a kid, so he was showing me around while also being pleasantly surprised by new additions since he had last been years ago.

They need to consider more interactive history that could occur INDOORS. I am a member but they close the outdoor area for winter and dont offer much else. my son gets a cold every time we visit the indoor play place.i feel like it is a great concept with mediocre execution.their cafe, also outdoors and closed for winter, does offer some great salads though.

I enjoyed the Symphony on the prairie concert. The Beach Boys were the music of the evening. I enjoyed the band and the wonderful songs. The balloon ride is very good, but a little pricey.

Great place for kids. Balloon and civil war time life are 2 unmatched experience one should not miss.

A good place to spend a half day with your family especially if you have a toddler. Give a perspective about Indianas history and how the journey from the past until today.

Great Time/Activity for Kids of all ages. You could spend all day there if you wanted. Pretty big and lots of things to check out. Indoor kids area to play and make crafts and then Outdoor stuff to do/see and learn about our great history. Kids water/splash area to keep cool, so think about swimming trunks or towel or atleast change of clothes for your young ones just in case. We went on a really hot day, but wasnt actually too bad since theres indoor air condition area/activities and the outdoor splash area and when your walking around, its woodsy and shaded, so it was actually nice and relaxing strolling on the paths. They have some animals to pet(goats and sheep). Theres also a Hot Air Balloon ride(always attached to ground). We didnt ride it, but it goes straight up and comes back down and probably has a nice view!👍😁

Beautiful and educational park! Really cool to see the actors going about their day to day business, theyre all so knowledgeable and friendly. We got to meet Dwight at the blacksmithing barn in Prairietown. Apparently Conner Prairie has classes for a lot of different traditional trades such as blacksmithing and hearth cooking. Ive always had an interest in historical trades and Ive lived near Conner Prairie for so long and I had no idea they had classes. One suggestion I have is please try and advertise your classes more, so more people can know about them and have the opportunity to learn.

We absolutely love this place. Enjoy it a great deal everytime we go. Letting the kids see and participate in all the different times in life is a wonderful and educating experience. Thank you Conner Prairie..

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

Great time with the animals and the people. Only down side is that after the animals theres not much for little kids outside. Theres a small jungle gym but no slides. The inside areas are great though. We went in the air balloon too. Its a nice relaxing ride but a little pricey.

It was the first time I have been back in years to visit this place. The balloon ride was so nice. I was a little scared at first but once I was all the way up in the air it was amazing. You could see downtown. I was walking all around the taking in all the sites. Then we traveled through time and went back to when the civil war came to Indiana. It was really fun to see all the actors doing a great job and really playing the part. I enjoyed my time so much and I didnt get to see everything, but I will be back to visit again soon and see it all.

We havent gone to Conner Prairie much beyond the occasional programs (Christmas on the Prairie, the Headless Horseman, and Symphony on the Prairie) so we havent gotten to explore beyond Prairietown. Since our son was born we hadnt been so we decided to explore this morning and we were very happy with the trip! The grounds are huge and we had a ton of room to roam and distance. All staff were very informative and kind. I was disappointed that some of the staff were not in costume but ultimately our 1 year old really only cared about the chickens he got to encounter and the big house we let him run through. He had a great time! The food was great too. I think well definitely be back this summer!

If you ever call them do not use the option of them calling you back. For 2 days we called and either got hung up on after being on hold for over 45 mins or used the call back option and never received a return call.

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!

A good venue for concerts byochair but they do have some trees that could block side seating view. Seems their food vendors are few, and they put some kiosks far far away from others so if it were my business, would be unhappy. The parking entry is fine, exiting is mass chaos with ONLY ONE exit, they should have at least a northbound and southbound exits for better flow. We also went for their winter decoration show last season and was expecting more live people exhibits and food - big big big disappointment. But did see a few xmas light displays and walked around during covid so good to get out. For an operation this size, they should still have more active live exhibits.

This was interesting to visit. The different areas tell a story of Indiana over a number of years.

Great educational content for kids and adults.

A lot of the exhibits were not functioning. Reinactors tried to keep it interesting. Thought the $18 a bit steep for what they had.

Great place for kids have fun and learn about civil war history

Super clean and very well organized. We went out to conner prairie for symphony on the prairie.

Conner Prairie is the best. The Headless Horseman hayride and haunted corn maze were awesome! We had constant fun for over 4 hours and could have stayed longer. Looking forward to going back!

My students and I enjoyed ourselves and learned so much at Conner Prairie! They do such an amazing job in recreating scenes from hundreds of years ago.

Great place to take the kids - an amazing outdoor area - animals, treetop adventure and more, plus a great indoor area for big and little kids to explore!

Star Spangled Symphony on the Prarie was a great way to celebrate Independence Day. The program was very much in honor of our Military Heroes which was very touching to see. The fireworks were great, more than just ordinary fireworks. The symphony played a variety of music from different time periods.

Balloon ride was awesome! Saw Indy. The Civil War area was very nice. The movie was very historical.

A little disappointed in our experience today. My daughters class is currently talking about life on a farm and life back when there were no TVs or cell phones, so we decided to take a day to experience it in person. The animal experience is closed so you can only really see the animals from afar. There was no one in the woodworking or blacksmith shops. There was no candle making. Most of the buildings were unoccupied and we only got to experience a few things along the way. The balloon voyage is also not currently operational. We still had fun but it definitely didnt live up to what I told her it would be.

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

Great place for an afternoon or even a day! My son could have spent an entire day in the welcome center playing with tools and building.

Way cooler than expected. Kids had a blast and I enjoyed it far more than I would have thought.

Much more Interactive and kid friendly than I expected.

Ive never been to anything but symphony on the prairie at Connor prairie. Always have a blast. Recommendation would be to splurge for the VIP parking. If you dont and you leave when everyone else does then it can take awhile to get out.

Great family fun with a bit of education just dont tell your kids!! Lol

Love this place. My daughter is obsessed with the petting barn!

A fantastic place with truly amazing workers. I want to mention Julie in the Nature Squad and Dorcus and Mrs Barkley in Prairie Town specifically. They showed real interest in my childrens love of learning. They played and explored with them. It was a great experience and we cant wait to come again.

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!

Loved the live animals.

Lovely place to visit for family and friends. I love going to Conner Priarie! I really enjoyed the balloon voyage where we got to see the conner priarie corn maze with the image of the headless horseman and the houses near the white river. I also loved learning about the history of the civil war in Kentuckiana and a whole lot more. I also liked the food. I ordered Mrs. Conners chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious. I also learned a lot about the conner house and watched how they made threads. There are a lot more to see inside and you can even do the corn maze. Worth the trip and I highly recommend family and friends to come here!

It is a great place to go relax and get a break from the house. Very beautiful environment and there is an amazing trial you can walk through the woods. I most definitely would suggest it.

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

Its good for kids to understand the history and living style in 1800. You can check the status of balloon ride in their website to plan accordingly.

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

Went to Symphony on the prairie. Always a good time with music and food. We bring our own because the concession stand is limited and more expensive, but is a viable option for some. Crowds and ease of parking vary depending on the performance. Aside from Symphony on the Prairie, Connor Prairie is a great living history museum. We are members and go a couple times a year.

I really loved this place! We went to the Michael Jackson concert preformed by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and it was a phenomenal outdoor concert. You can bring your own food, drinks (alcohol included), lawn chairs/blankets. It makes for a great night.

Had a good time with my children and there school..

We drove down from Chicago for the day and had such a fun time!

The kids had a lot of fun!

Had an amazing time! Very cool place to spend the day!

Wonderful place for family time. Very professional and well kept. Hands on experience and something for all ages. The Prairietown is wonderful. Fun to see the actors walking about. They ONLY answer you in the time period from which they represent. Theres a splash pad for hot days, and an animal interactive area. We didn’t do the trail walk behind the the tree fort but will next time. There is even a little library room at the bottom of the tree fort for your little bookworms

We had a blast!! Thank you for a great experience.

We visited the Symphony on the Prairie venue for the July 3rd Star Spangled Symphony event. This particular show is typically highly attended given that it is a holiday special and they have a firework show at the end. Unfortunately for us, a thunderstorm popped up in the area so they cancelled the fireworks (but allowed everyone to use their ticket stubs for complimentary access to a later event). Prior to the stoppage, the show was excellent and the orchestra was as good as always! Many veterans were in attendance with their families and the conductor/hosts did a fantastic job recognizing all the military personnel and branches. This is a great place for families and friends to enjoy music, shows, and dinner!There is free parking available. As a friendly reminder, a mass exodus from the venue will create very long lines to exit as there is only one exit to go North and one to go South. If you aren’t in a hurry to be anywhere, take your time heading out to avoid an hour-ish wait in or around your car (no bathrooms outside the venue gates).Don’t forget to bring your own cooler (drinks and food of any kind ) as well as chairs and blankets for the show! Food and beverages are available for purchase including standard concessions, alcohol, ice cream, and kettle corn.

Great place to see a live show!

I went as a chaperone for the fifth grade class. I had just as much fun as the kids!

I had not been outside since i was a kid because there is so much going on inside. Im glad that i finally got out there. This is by far the best place in Indy for young Children.

Fun experience for folks with kids. Check out the special events like Headless Horseman and Christmas programming.

We were last week at Conner Prairie and a bit disappointed. There was nothing to interact with. All the buildings were closed other then The Connors House. My 6 year old daughter was disappointed. The sad thing too we paid $45 for what. Nothing was told to us that this was how it was. Disappointing!!

Was here for a friends wedding and reception. The wedding was just outside of the barn with the reception in the barn. Beautiful place and the staff was wonderful.

Really crowded but I loved being abke to spend time with my friends!

Went on a field trip with my son and we had a great time! He wants to go back this summer for a family trip.

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.

I’m a little disappointed that tix were full price but everything wasn’t open. Also perturbed at the couple of employees that were quite rude about the mask wearing (this was outside in open air, where we were no less than 8 feet apart), and one who was pretty rude about one of my kids even looking in the direction of an area that was closed while we were all waiting to recongregate outside of bathrooms. Then they changed their sing-songy, fake tunes immediately to suggest I get a membership and come back, but honestly I don’t see the point. The buildings that were open had super friendly staff and helpful. You can’t say that you “encourage” guests to wear masks where distancing isn’t possible online, then change it to a mandatory requirement on site and try to implement it outside where it doesn’t apply anyway. I understand that covid has placed undue stress on places like this, but the differences between what is stated ahead of time and what I found in person is really irritating.

A fantastic place with truly amazing workers. I want to mention Julie in the Nature Squad and Dorcus and Mrs Barkley in Prairie Town specifically.

We buy a family.membership every year. We always enjoy our trips to CP, especially headless horseman in October.

I have been attending symphony on the prairie for 20+ years, and I must say Kroger has stepped up the game big time. Awesome new sound system, less obstructions between you and the stage. As always the sunset lounge in where its at! July 4th show is a must for any Hoosier!

Connor Prairie has really done an outstanding job during these uncertain times. We’ve always attended their Headless Horseman Event the last 4 years and this year we wondered if it would be worth it. We attended over the weekend and we were so pleasantly surprised at how creative they were with the different attractions they offered! They eliminated the corn box, and bouncy houses and instead provided attractions that allowed social distancing while still being super fun- games, shows, corn mazes, tube slides,, train rides, great food, and even beers for mom and dad! They sanitized the wagons after every ride, wiped down games, sanitized chairs- and every volunteer and staff member did with a smile. We had an amazing time as a family and we’re beyond impressed with our experience! Way to go Conner Prairie- thanks for keeping our family traditions alive- we are so proud to be members! 💗💗💗

Great out day fun

Great place to go and learn some history about Hamilton County Indiana

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

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!

Conner Prairie was a great experience my date and I enjoyed lots of friendly people great family fun atmosphere would highly recommend and will return when I get a chance.

We attended symphony on the prairie presented by ISO. The outdoor amphitheatre is such a nice venue. We also have a CP membership; we visit there often.

Great experience. lots of log cabins and fun for the kids.

Had fun learned alot great place to visit and take ya kids loved it!

Absolutely lovely 😍

Such a disappointment. We drove an hour only to find it closed when the website said it would be open. Judging by the dozens of other families walking up to the door and turning around we werent the only disappointed family.

Great place to learn and explore.

Great place for the kids to actually get away from their technology and learn something.

Very educational, kids loved it.

Field Trip for dixie elementary. Kids and adults had a blast. Wish i had this amazing cornfield view every morning! Ahhmazing
