Since 1983, thousands of people have made it tradition to come to Papa's and celebrate fall. Let the kids run on the pumpkin-lined paths while you ponder life and visit with neighbors over a slice of fresh pumpkin pie with whipped cream. There are dozens of photo opportunities, including life-sized, real-along stories, the famous Bale Maze, pony rides, Slide Mountain, pumpkin houses, Sebastian's train ride, hay rides and more! We look forward to greeting you at Papa's! Want to know what's going on at Papa's right now? Visit Papa's blog. « less

Great place to go with the kids. Priced very reasonable. Parking was a bit difficult because everyone just kinda parked wherever. Snacks were also priced very reasonable. Will make this a yearly event.

We have made it a family tradition and go every year!! Great spots for picture taking, lots of attractions for the kids to play on and of course picking a pumpkin and watching the pumpkin cannon are just some of the highlights!

The Pumpkin Patch does an amazing job. The simple things that the kids can do will keep them entertained for hours, and the zip lines are great. A person can get great pictures and the treats are very inexpensive. We actually enjoyed Papas Patch 3 seperate times this year, including doing our 6 year olds birthday party there. The boys...

We have been going to the patch for many years. Since there are so many photo opportunities, we can see our kids growing up by looking back at old photos from the patch. The two youngest of our 3 daughters came home from college for the weekend and we all looked forward to going back to the patch. The pumpkin... More

We go to the Pumpkin Patch at least once every year, if not more. There are ridiculous amounts of fun things to do for kids of all ages, and adults, too. They have a ton of photo opps, an amazing assortment of pumpkins & gourds to buy, and so many areas for kids to burn off their energy in a... More

Papa's Pumpkin Patch is an institution in Bismarck, a must-see attraction not only for locals but for visitors as well. As my family grows with our own children as well as nieces, nephews, and cousins, Papa's has become a must-do event every fall. Whenever any out of town family visits we always plan a trip to Papa's, and without fail... More

We have gone to the patch many times. Fall is a great season here in ND and being able to enjoy it outside with all the wonderful colors is a really treat.

If you are looking to do something. You can go here in the fall. They have activities for kids to do. Pumpkins to buy. Cheap to get in but everything inside costs something. Pumpkins are a bit pricey but I love the white pumpkins.
