LAYERS OF ROCK, SOIL AND MINERALS.
The native grasses of the Kansas Prairie sway in the breeze like a vast green ocean, evoking childhood memories of playing in the grass while the sound of crickets — and the meadowlark’s song — surround you.
Kansas native species and their African counterparts coexist at My Land, where burrows, dens and a pop-up habitat invite exploration for both you, meerkat and black footed ferret.
My Land hosts a walkthrough habitat with a feeding experience with far away friends, Radiated and Giant Tortoise with their Kansas neighbors the ornate box turtle.
