Conner Prairie

Did not know I was going to get the opportunity to fly in a hot air balloon!!! They have it attached so you’re not free flying around but still so cool! This was a wonderful experience walking around Connor prairie and doing the headless horseman ride! It’s not too scary and they have it all wonderfully decorated. The staff is all great and actors work hard to make your experience immersive! Highly recommend checking it out!

Loved this place. The people in costume stay in character no matter what, and are probably the most informative people we’ve ever had the pleasure of encountering in this type of environment. They had charm and personality. Such a joy.

We’ll be back. If you haven’t been here, it’s time.

Used the AAA discount to save $3 for 2 adults. Went around 3pm so didn’t have enough time to enjoy everything BUT there were no field trips.

Such a great experience. Only downside was we couldn’t ride in the hot air balloon. But that was because it was windy!
Otherwise, we had fun! We loved how everyone stayed in character, it was great.

We brought my kids here for the first time (7, & 5) and I believe they were the perfect age! We spent 4 hours here and we still have so much to explore for the next time we go back. The kids loved hands on learning about history, and the actors/actresses kept them interested the whole time. I may have loved it even more than they did! I cannot wait to take them back. This is a place we can come back to and see new things we missed each time! Our kids truly learned a lot as well. On the car ride home we asked them questions from throughout the day, and they knew every answer. Awesome place! Well done!

The first time we went here we ended up spending hours here because there was so much to do so we bought a pass and have been to every event Conner Prairie puts on from the sunflower garden, to the Halloween and Christmas event. There's so much for the kids to do, learn and interact with. Can't recommend this place enough.

Such a great place to visit! The staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable. The hiking paths are beautiful and take you on such scenic routes. And, if you are able, the hot air balloon is an AWESOME experience!

Is it the Apple Store at Conner Prairie for some excellent fall treats. Carmel apples with chocolate and sea salt…srsly awesome.

We've been coming here for the Symphony on the Prairie 4th of July celebration for a couple of years now. We pay a bit extra for a table(instead of just lawn seats) and the VIP parking. This allows easier in and out and an exclusive air-conditioned bathroom. It's worth every penny. We have an absolute blast every year. No doubt that we'll be back next year! 💙🤍❤

We did the Headless Horseman event and for the most part we enjoyed it. However, most of the event is geared towards a younger age (4-12). But my daugter and I really enjoyed the Headless Horseman wagon ride. Its worth it for that alone. The wagon ride takes you through the old town of historic buildings and although some of the decorations are a little cheezy, things get real when the Headless Horseman rides out swinging his sword. Its $5 extra for the wagon ride so make sure you add that to the cost before going. The food is a little pricey in my opinion. $15 for a brisket sandwich. We sat and listen to the band play spooky music when we ate and to be honest, the band was really good. However, the cornmaze was fairly boring.

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.

Splendid evening at Conner Prairie attending the symphony on the prairie and listening to Broadway music. Show was excellent as well as the venue and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend this experience and look forward to coming back.

My whole family, kids aged 14 to 2 years old, had a wonderful time at the Headless Horseman fu . We took the hay ride and went down the dry tubing runs. All four of my kids loved the activities so much, even my 2-year-old and 4 year old :-)

I feel like the dry tubing runs could be set up a little bit better. It took forever for the patrons to drag their tubes up the hill. I think there should be a solution so that more people can get down more efficiently. But it was very cool anyway.

We had a wonderful time and everone wished we could stay longer. The corn maze is gorgeous this year, and all the employees are so friendly. It's really a wonderful place to visit, especially if all fall with the gorgeous leaves all around.

Very fun to see all the exhibits. Employees are helpful.

Conner Prairie is always fun and educational. We have enjoyed visiting on a normal day and as a chaperone for a school field trip. Every event we have attended, including Symphony on the Prairie and The Headless Horseman, have been great. The staff and volunteers are amazing, kind, helpful, and educational.

This is a really neat place. The facilities are always clean. It's 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 isn't cheap and the helium balloon ride costs extra. The helium ride is a unique experience. It is worth the cost if you're able to spend a whole day here.
Please like if my review was helpful.

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 wasn't actually too bad since there's 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). There's also a Hot Air Balloon ride(always attached to ground). We didn't ride it, but it goes straight up and comes back down and probably has a nice view!👍😁

Conner Prairie is one of our favorite outdoor summer evening concert venues in Indy/Fishers. Family friendly, BYOB and food. It's 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. I've been here countless times and have never had any issues with bugs. Pack a wagon, blanket & cooler and be ready to enjoy the outdoors!

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.

Great place for young kids and adults alike! I wasn't 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!

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 didn't get to see everything, but I will be back to visit again soon and see it all.
