VISIONS FOR THE FUTURE

Step into a place where play, animals, and Kansas spirit come together.

A Farm-Inspired World, Built for Young Explorers

A Children's Zoo & New Play Zone

My World is a vibrant farm-centered experience designed especially for children and families. From hands-on encounters in the Children’s Zoo to imaginative play in the farm-inspired Play Zone, every space invites curiosity, movement, and joy. Friendly farm animals, immersive environments, and the colorful energy of lorikeets create moments of connection that spark learning and laughter. My World celebrates the wonder of childhood, the roots of agriculture, and the simple joy of discovering nature together.

Where every visit is a celebration of joyous play and the spirit of Kansas.

At the Security Benefit Children’s Zoo, childhood wonder comes alive through the sights, sounds, and spirit of the farm. Inspired by the timeless charm of the iconic Fisher-Price barn, this reimagined experience blends nostalgia with fresh excitement — a place where families laugh, learn, and play together in a world alive with oinks, bleats, baas, hee-haws, and clucks.

This vibrant new space celebrate connection: between families, between children and animals, and between community and nature. It’s a place where the laughter of today’s children honors the roots of our past and plants the seeds of care, curiosity, and compassion for the future.

My Farm

My Farm invites children to step into a lively, hands-on farm experience where discovery comes to life. Young guests can meet friendly goats, alpacas, pigs, chickens, and a donkey, safely exploring farm scenes designed to engage all the senses.

At the heart of My Farm stands an antique tractor—a tribute to Kansas’ agricultural roots and a reminder of the care, hard work, and connection to the land that shape our shared story. Inspired by the iconic Fisher-Price® barn, the space features playful details, including  a silo and barn filled with the oinks, bleats, baas, hee-haws, and clucks of the animals that call My Farm home.

My AIR

My Air immerses guests in a lush, elevated ecosystem inspired by the upper canopy of tropical rainforests, where sunlight filters through leaves and vibrant species thrive above the forest floor. In this environment, guests will encounter dazzling rainbow lorikeets from Australia, experiencing their beauty and energy up close.
