Wildlife Prairie Park in Hanna City features the Prairie Zephyr train, which loops through the grounds carrying visitors past native animals and scenic landscape. The park sprawls across spectacular terrain where guests walk animal trails to observe amphibians, birds, fish, invertebrates, mammals, and reptiles in habitats including the Aviary, Forest Hall, Merrill Woods, and Pioneer Homestead. Beyond wildlife viewing, the park offers kayaking, laser tag, biking, disc golf, fishing, hiking, and Adventure Trek. Seasonal programming includes Critters & Cookies presentations, Family Movie Saturdays, and special events like National Bison Day. Educational field trips immerse visitors in nature with engaging exhibits and knowledgeable staff. Overnight guests can stay in camping, glamping, or cabins while enjoying free park admission and access to all recreation facilities. The park serves families, school groups, and visitors seeking both active recreation and wildlife education.
