Experience the magic of a prairie at dusk on KNC’s first annual Firefly Hike! Stroll along the broad, winding trail through the prairie on a unique adventure that highlights the wonder of the natural world and shows why protecting our prairies can keep the sparkle in our summer nights. Red light flashlights will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. Please note: regular white-light flashlights are not permitted, as they can disturb the fireflies.

Parking is limited. Please consider carpooling. Come anytime between 9:00-11:00pm.

Advance tickets required, no drop ins.

Fee: $10/Member Adult, $5/Member child, $15/Non-Member Adult, $8/Non-Member child. Registration required
