Whenever my ten year old nephew comes to visit, we've skipped Conner Prairie because he's more into doing things like the Children's Museum or the zoo (loves both). When we learned that Conner Prairie had hot air balloon rides this summer, we thought that this might be something he'd enjoy while visiting us in Indy. A few days before he... more

My sister and I visited Conner Prairie and it was a wonderful experience. They have costumed interpreters there that will tell you about daily life in one of four different settings at different times of the 1700's and 1800's. They also have a tethered hot air balloon ride which we didn't do and is an extra charge, but it did... more

We toured the whole property and then took the tram back to the beginning (no extra charge). They had people posing as real characters of the time, you could not trick them in to the... more

It seems that there are always exciting activities at this working settlement village, set in the 1800s - settlers, fur traders, a blacksmith, Indians and farmers with... more

As my family and I were passing through Indianapolis we decided to stop in at the Conner Settlement. I had done a search and found this place on a Indianapolis attraction web site. With little information to go on we stopped in and to our pleasure realized we found a gem. There was a crowd but the grounds our spread... more
