Nachusa Grasslands - Visitor Center 2075 South Lowden Road, Franklin Grove, IL 61031

"Beautiful place! The drive in is beautiful with rolling hills and gorgeous landscape. The information pavilion is well done. We will be back to see the landscape in the spring and summer as well. And the bison are just cool!"

"This wildlife area is amazing for all ages. The natural grasslands and the herd that lives there are impressive. It's worth the drive from anywhere. A gentle reminder of the beauty of the Midwest before development. Tours are available but can be busy. I highly recommend it."

"Incredible place, over 4000 acres of remnant and restored prairie. Great interpretative center with bathrooms and water, unmanned. Over 700 species of plants many rare or endangered. Bison herd to manage grasslands but this is not a zoo, the bison are doing their thing and you may not see them. Trails from visitor center but also other locations. Maps available at this location."

"Please go visit here if you are anywhere in the area! So peaceful. Such great educational historical info, wonderful easy walking path through the prairie grasslands. Gorgeous views especially at sunset. Seeing the Buffalo was so exciting!! Go down the side road to the honey man for fresh local honey. He sells it honor system in front of his house. It's delicious. Side road is also another good chance to find the Buffalo if you didn't see him in the main Prairie"

"Nachusa Grasslands in a fantastic place and the visitor center is very nice. It's a huge place, so the bison are not always visible from the center. There a short path to do a little walking while there, and a lot of educational info posted all over the shelter. Well worth a visit if you are in the area."
