What if I told you that you can do just that right in southwest Kansas? This wildlife park is just waiting for you to come visit.

Of course, you'll have to stay behind the rails, but you're still getting pretty close to an animal we don't see often.
During the summer, you can also go on a number of other tours through this facility.

What's better than supporting local wildlife directly? Of course, it doesn't all go to buffalo. There's a number of other species like elk and deer that also make this area their home.
The best part of the trip is appreciating the beauty of the prairie.
