Prairie Loft Center

Prairie Loft Center for Outdoor & Agricultural Education is open for scheduled activities and events. Please check our Facebook page and website for current events. On a 75-acre program site on the edge of Hastings, Nebraska, Prairie Loft offers shared outdoor activities for all ages to help create a more active, aware, and appreciative community. Activities include family programs, community events, field trips, festivals, private events and more. Prairie Loft's mission is to teach agriculture appreciation, outdoor education, cultural connections, and the wise use of natural resources. Located just west of Hastings, Nebraska, the beautiful barns were once part of a working farm that fed over one thousand people for 80 years at the state mental hospital. Buildings on site are undergoing renovations to provide energy-efficient, multi-purpose space for expanded programs and events.
