Prairie
The open feeling of the prairie is divided into two types. To the northeast the taller grasses support the maze-like, adventurous experience of Where the Wild Things Are. Visitors are immersed in the grasses and eventually encounter scarecrow versions of the wild things. To the southwest, the grasses are shorter and representative of the Wisconsin indigenous prairie. A small log cabin with a sod roof supports The Little House on the Prairie, along with a campfire ring, covered wagon and log seating. Nearby is an authentic wigwam, with a small plot of corn, beans, and squash growing in the manner learned from In the Three Sister’s Garden.
- Collect some seed from the beautiful prairie grasses – then plant it and watch the grass grow.
