Designed to depict a turn-of-the-century family farm, the Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead has almost 200 animals and birds of prey, vegetable and flower gardens, a one-room country schoolhouse, an old-time fishing pond, pony rides and more.

With the Kansas family farm slowly disappearing, the 12-acre "Children's Farmstead" opened in 1978 and was re-named in 1985 to honor Deanna Rose, the first Overland Park police officer killed in the line of duty.  Deanna Rose's legacy was to bring the charm of the farm to children living in the city. Children treasure such memories as bottle feeding baby goats, milking a cow and taking a horse drawn wagon ride through the woods.

The Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., April 1 to Oct. 31. During the summer (Memorial Day to Labor Day), the Farmstead is open until 8 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.

Celebrate the spirit and wonder of creativity.

Kaleidoscope is a place where children can be creative, have fun, and feel good about their own special ideas.  At Kaleidoscope, children use their imagination to make art with paper, ribbon, melted crayons, and tons of bright, shiny, wiggly, sparkly, fluffy, puffy stuff.

Kaleidoscope nourishes the creative spirit; the heart tickling, skin wriggling, toe tapping, eye boggling, brain bubbling creative spirit that lives inside every child.

All children must be accompanied by an adult and all adults must be accompanied by a child.  A minimum of 1 adult for every 4 children in your group is required.

Reservations required for groups of 15 or more.
