Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch

The privately owned pumpkin patch and farm is a short drive east from Fargo-Moorhead, right near the Buffalo River State Park. In September and October, the pumpkin patch is open -- and it is so much more than a simple pumpkin patch!

For $15, we had a great family day of fun at the Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch. The admission price of $4 per person (less $1 if you print a coupon on their website) covers some of the rides and games, and then you can purchase tickets for the children's barrel cars, petting zoo, and horse-drawn carriage rides. There is also a gift shop, snack stand, cowboy campsite, straw maze, and pumpkins and corn stalks for sale.

The setting is wonderful! So much fun for little kids and their parents! There were so many photo opportunities that I nearly filled my camera's memory card!



Toddlers and preschoolers, as well as their parents, will enjoy the Lil Monsters Game Area, and not just because there is a sandbox full of corn. (Okay, mostly because there is a sandbox full of corn.) There's also Norwegian golf, hoop throw, horseshoes, a straw maze, cardboard cutouts (for you to stick your face in the missing face and get a photo as your favorite cartoon character), and a shed made of magnets and chalkboard. YOU CAN DRAW ON THE WALLS. Also, did I mention there is a sandbox full of corn?

There are two horse-drawn carriage rides, and they each cost $3 per person (children under 2 are free). We took the wagon ride through the Not So Scary Haunted Forest. Michelle, Bucky, and our driver took us through the forest along the Buffalo River. We were greeted by many ghouls and goblins, but they were Not So Scary.


Check the website's schedule, because many weekends offer various extra attractions, such as musical performances and face painting.

Allow for at least a couple of hours at the Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch. If you have a toddler, allow for a little longer -- they will want to spend as much time in the corn-filled sandbox as possible. ;)

  17. Everything posted was very reasonable. But,
    think about this, what if you composed a catchier
    post title? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean "Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch" is kinda plain. You might glance at Yahoo's home
    page and watch how they create article titles to grab viewers
    to click. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two
    to grab readers interested about everything've written. Just my opinion, it could make your website a little bit more interesting.
