Prairie Garden Terrace
Enjoy spectacular views and see native wildflowers from the Prairie Garden Terrace. This rooftop space is part of the City of Manhattan’s park system.

Native grasses and wildflowers fill the space with bright colors and sweet aromas.
It is accessible from inside the Discovery Center's lobby via the stairs or elevator, or using the exterior ramp and stairs. It has comfortable outdoor seating and is available for evening rental. The space is open to the public and visitors are invited to enjoy the area for free. It is open from 7 a.m.-10 p.m.
