A 20-acre pumpkin farm offering hayrides through wooded trails, a haunted house, and a haunted hayride—good for families seeking a more naturalistic fall experience, though the 2026 fruit-picking season was cancelled due to frost damage.
Daytime pumpkin patch admission $15 all ages, kids 2 and under free
Rough cost for a family of four: about $60.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
Bellevue Berry Farm & Pumpkin Ranch operates 20 acres of pumpkins with hayrides through wooded trails along Papio Creek, a pirate ship play area, and a separate evening haunted attraction (Ranch of Terror, September 11–November 1). The wooded trail setting differentiates it from flat-field pumpkin patches common in Nebraska.
Twenty acres of pick-your-own pumpkins is substantial. The hayrides move through wooded trails along Papio Creek, offering a more naturalistic experience than open-field farms. The wooded setting and creek-side terrain provide shade and visual variety compared to wide-open pumpkin patches. The pirate ship play area appeals to younger kids.
Daytime admission ($15 per person, age 3+, kids 2 and under free) covers pumpkin patch access, hayrides, and on-site play. This is the standard fall pumpkin experience. The Ranch of Terror (haunted house and haunted hayride) is a separate evening attraction running September 11–November 1, with additional admission costs. Plan your visit as daytime only or add evening horror activities based on family preference.
The research notes indicate that early spring 2026 frost damage affected flower crops, leading to cancellation of berry and fruit-picking for the 2026 season. Pumpkins are still available; other u-pick crops are not. If you were hoping for apple or berry picking alongside pumpkins, that opportunity is not available this year.
The extended operating window (through November 1) is unusual. Most ND and NE patches close by late October, but Bellevue Berry continues into November, which offers later-season flexibility and reduced crowds. Late October and November weather is cooler (40s–50s); bring layers.
Papillion is south of Omaha, roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. It is accessible for Omaha-area residents and a reasonable day trip from Lincoln (60+ minutes). Pairing with downtown Omaha, the zoo, or Mahoney State Park (further south) makes a full day trip logical.
Daytime hours were not specified online as of August 2026. Call (402) 331-5500 to confirm 2026 schedule and rates before the drive.
Daily through November 1, 2026, opening September 11. Hours are not specified online; call (402) 331-5500 to confirm current 2026 hours. The extended November window is unusual and allows later-season visits; peak crowds hit mid-October, but late October and November offer significantly calmer options.
Two to three hours for daytime pumpkin patch activities (pumpkins, hayrides through woods). The haunted house and haunted hayride are separate evening experiences; budget separately if adding those.
Open daily through November 1, which distributes crowds better than weekend-only operations. Mid-October is still peak season, but weekday visits and November dates are much calmer. The wooded trail setting likely accommodates crowds better than open-field patches.
Not specified. Assume farm parking; adequate for a daily-operation farm.
Twenty acres of pumpkins with wooded trails along Papio Creek may have mobility challenges. The pirate ship play area and hayrides require various levels of mobility. Call (402) 331-5500 to discuss specific accessibility needs.
Bellevue is in Sarpy County, south of Omaha (20–30 minutes). Pair with downtown Omaha attractions, the Omaha Zoo (if open), or Mahoney State Park (further south). A morning at Bellevue Berry can lead to an afternoon elsewhere in the Omaha area.
