Kansas Wetlands Education Center, Great Bend

We've passed this place several times before and finally had a chance to visit in the last few days. The most impressive thing that stood out was the quality and condition of the exhibits. All of them were in working order and while they were well used, the didn't look in a state of extreme disrepair. The staff was courteous and the information was very thorough. We were on a road trip so we didn't have time to explore the walking trails but it will be a future destination for us. Whether you're passing through or making a direct trip here, it's well worth the time and money! It was a very neat experience to be visiting a wildlife refuge that is only one of 24 sites in the United States to be recognized on the international scale.

Unbelievable! They presented bird watching 101 which was outstanding. I learned a lot, I discovered how to start so it wasn't so overwhelming. Plus got to meet many friendly people. If nothing else go and discover what we have in our own backyard, that others would travel from all over the world to see.
