Masks + Distancing Required

The Farmstead follows Johnson County’s current health orders.

Guests ages six and older should wear a mask or face covering when they are inside, or in a line to enter any indoor, public space.

Guests should also wear masks outdoors in public spaces when they’re unable to maintain six feet of distance between themselves and others.

While we have ample outdoor space at the Farmstead, access to the facility may be limited in order to ensure there is room for social distancing.

Modified Attractions for Safety

Many favorite attractions at the Farmstead are open and available, with some operational changes to support public health best practices.

The Dairy barn, schoolhouse, Ben’s Bank, barber shop and blacksmith shop are open, with modifications including one-way traffic to promote social distancing. Guests are able to pet and bottle-feed some animals through the fences, but pens are not open for guests to enter.

Please visit the Attractions + Activities page to see what’s planned for your favorite Farmstead activity.

Sanitation + Cleanliness

City staff work extensively to ensure the Farmstead can operate safely.

Staff have increased sanitation and safety protocols. Restrooms and playgrounds are cleaned and sanitized regularly. Reduced hours also allow staff extra time for regular sanitation of all areas of the Farmstead.
