  • FFA Groups 

    Join us for a couple of hours or a full day of exploration and fun. Over 2,000 FFA members visit Conner Prairie each year for a day filled with interactive, experiential learning. Spend time in the Animal Encounters Barn learning about our heritage breeds and agriculture programs. Immerse yourself in the fall season with our Corn Maze or take a one-mile nature walk through the woods to the overlook and maybe even spot a bald eagle. You may also add a trip on the 1859 Balloon Voyage and soar over 350 feet up in the air.

    Conner Prairie provides FFA members with an up-close look at a wide variety of agricultural careers and the professionals who specialize in them. Patterned after FFA’s eight agricultural career pathways—agribusiness systems, animal systems, biotechnology systems, environmental service systems, food products and processing systems, natural resource systems, plant systems, and power, structural and technical systems—Conner Prairie helps students explore, select, and prepare for a career in agriculture matched to their respective interests and talents.
