KC Sunflower Festival

Bring the family out to celebrate late summer surrounded by thousands of blooming sunflowers at this farm festival in Olathe. With over 60 outdoor activities included in your admission ticket, there's plenty to keep kids entertained all day—from slides and climbing walls to games, exploration zones, and hands-on farm adventures. The sunflower fields themselves offer more than 20 photo opportunities, making it easy to capture memories before the season ends. Food options are available on-site, and the festival runs 10am to 6pm across three weekends in August. For families looking to add something special, you can book an optional cow cuddling experience with the farm's Highland cows (children must be at least 3 years old, and parents must accompany kids under 12). Everyone participating needs a separate ticket. Purchasing tickets online offers savings, and you can use them on any of the festival dates. Just plan to arrive 15 minutes early for cow cuddling sessions, and remember that rain or shine, the event goes on.
