## About

Nestled in south Overland Park, Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead recreates the warmth, simplicity, and wholesome wonder of a turn-of-the-century Kansas family homestead during the picturesque late autumn harvest season. Young visitors can meet and interact with more than 250 friendly barnyard animals including playful pygmy goats, gentle draft horses, heritage turkeys, woolly sheep, and heritage chickens. Autumn days bring a delightful festive atmosphere with wagon rides pulled by majestic Belgian draft horses, pony rides for toddlers, corn-maze exploration, and pumpkin patch photo ops against historic red barn backdrops. Kids love practicing old-fashioned frontier chores, fishing with cane poles in the farmstead pond, exploring an authentic one-room prairie schoolhouse, and tasting warm cinnamon kettle corn and fresh apple cider sold at the General Store before the farmstead closes for its winter rest.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Paved and well-compacted gravel farm pathways easily accommodate standard strollers and all-terrain wagons throughout all animal barns and pastures.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated, family-friendly restrooms with baby changing stations and rocking chairs for nursing mothers are located near the main entrance pavilion and dairy barn.
• Age Suitability: Specifically designed for families with infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children up to 12 years old.
• Sensory Tips: Animal petting corrals and barnyard pathways have gentle country sounds and farm aromas. Shaded benches beneath mature oak trees provide peaceful sensory retreat zones.
