Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead

The Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead is an educational family attraction that focuses on agriculture and local history in Overland Park, Kansas.

[2][3] Animal exhibits at the Farmstead include birds of prey, bison, bobcats, prairie dogs, rabbits, ducks, geese, cattle, goats, pigs, turkeys, chickens, and peafowl.

The Farmstead officially opened to the public on Memorial Day weekend in 1978, featuring a petting zoo and a modest collection of animals, including miniature horses, Shetland ponies, goats, sheep, calves, and chickens, alongside a vegetable garden and a silo slide.

Over the following years, other features were introduced, such as the one-room schoolhouse, Kanza Indian encampment, Prairie Playground, tractor track, dairy barn, and Main Street.

The Ben Craig administration building was completed in 2018, providing additional space for staff, a new concession area, and family restrooms.
