Regular hours return to Neal Smith NWR Prairie Learning and Visitor Center

While heating and cooling issues have not been fixed, the cooler fall weather is allowing the Neal Smith NWR Prairie Learning and Visitor Center to return to normal hours, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

As long as temperatures remain mild, these hours will continue through the fall. Visitors may access the building throughout the day for information, to view films and exhibits, browse the Friends of Neal Smith NWR’s bookstore and obtain America the Beautiful passes. The trails and auto tour are open sunrise to sunset.

For more information, questions or concerns, contact Cheryl Groom at (515) 994-3400 or  Cheryl_groom@fws.gov.
