    What makes it fun

The Park has three miles of hiking paths that wind through prairies, forests, and along a magnificent stream. Children of all ages can visit the Nature Center to witness native species and learn about nature and history. The Ernie Miller Nature Center serves as a laboratory for studying, comprehending, and admiring nature. Visit the center's new exhibit gallery, which features live animal presentations and interactive exhibits, to learn more about the park's vegetation, animals, and history.

    My only disappointment is that there were no unlocked restrooms after 4:30 pm, but the trails are open till dusk.

    The park is such a beautiful area to walk around. The nature center was informative and the staff was kind.

    I came here as a child, and was excited to bring my kids. Great indoor setting and info, and the outdoor nature hike/walk is amazing as well. PLEASE bring your kids or grandkids here.

    Wonderful afternoon activity! Cool animals/reptiles to check out and beautiful paths to walk. Our favorite was the bird watching room though! We loved seeing all the different types at the feeders and using the book to find out what kind they were. 🐦 We even got to see the hawk and owl up close!! Highly recommend for families.

    I recently visited the Ernie Miller Park & Nature Center in Olathe, KS, and I have to say it was a truly wonderful experience. The park is beautiful, with well-maintained trails and a variety of plant and animal life.The nature center itself is filled with interesting exhibits and interactive displays that teach visitors about the local environment and the animals that call it home. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and they were more than happy to answer any questions I had.One of the highlights of my visit was the live animal exhibits, where I was able to see a variety of creatures up close and learn about their habitats and behavior. I also enjoyed the educational programs and events that the nature center offers, which are a great way to learn more about the natural world.Overall, I would highly recommend the Ernie Miller Park & Nature Center to anyone looking for a fun and educational outdoor experience. It's a great place to explore, learn, and connect with nature.

    Trail was in great condition and surprisingly not many bugs. Saw plenty of little fish while walking down in the creek which my son loved . Great trail for yourself and/or families.

    Beautiful Park to become one with Nature. Every time I go here it brings a smile to my face. This time is saw a half dozen deer. I usually walk on the trails and this day was no exception.
