Winter on the Prairie is a one-of-a-kind getaway to seasonally experience everything Conner Prairie has to offer. Grab your boots and mittens as you adventure across acres of fun! Discover the tranquility and beauty of nature that can only be found after a fresh snow. Join the residents of Prairietown to warm up by the hearth as you learn how winter was embraced through parlor games, engaging activities and time spent indoors with friends and family — much like it is today. Our two indoor play spaces, featuring elements of Discovery Station, featuring special programming that celebrate creativity and play.
