Curious by Nature is Conner Prairie’s outdoor class series for homeschool students, held on Mondays when the museum is closed to the public. Each class explores a different part of the museum’s more than 1,000 acres of natural and historical spaces.
Classes are ticketed one at a time, and the price and recommended ages vary by class. Children must be accompanied by an adult throughout the program, and younger siblings are asked not to attend. Most classes involve a lot of walking, so families should dress for the weather and outdoor exploration.
