Do you know where this tunnel of trees is located?

Do you know where this tunnel of trees is located? 🌳 Hint: It's one of our favorite spots in Wichita to enjoy NATURE. 👀

If you guessed Great Plains Nature Center, you are correct! SAVE this post if you are looking for fun ways to explore this spring! There is so much to love and do at GPNC:

🐢 Explore the Great Plains ecosystem in the Koch Habitat Hall.
🐢 Feed the turtles at the turtle bridge off Quail Trail.
🐢 Check out the honeybee colony in the Wildlife Observatory.
🐢 Enjoy the beautiful native garden at the entrance.
🐢 Stroll along the 2.5 miles of paved walking trails that cross native and restored prairies, wetlands, ponds, and woodlands.
🐢 Every Tuesday from 10am-12pm, kiddos can get Naturally Crafty and every Wednesday at 10am listen to Critter Tales story time.

We love this Wichita Gem! #wichitamom #wichitaks #familyfunict #wichitamomsummer
