Looking for an affordable outdoor family attraction in the Kansas City area? Located in Overland Park, Kan., the 12-acre Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead provides a full day of enjoyment during the spring, summer and fall. Farm- and nature-related activities abound for children of all ages from infants to tweens.

What to Pack for a Visit to Deanna Rose

Pack up the stroller, grab the sunscreen and get ready for a long, soothing walk. Not enough time to pack a picnic basket? A concessions stand sells affordable drinks and brown bag lunches. Shade trees and picnic tables inside and outside the farmstead’s entrance provide comfortable seating for snacks and meals.

Blooming flowers and vibrant vegetable gardens line the entrances to this suburban farm. Greeting guests are goats, sheep, pigs, calves, chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks. Vending machines of animal food await those who’d like to give the critters a snack along the way. Nearby, a rabbit hutch and a prairie dog farm peacefully nestle into the Kansas soil.
