Home Sweet Home


For first-time visitors and many returning guests, it comes as a surprise to know that a family actually lives at Papa's Pumpkin Patch. It's true. Papa's covers over 40 acres along the Missouri River and while it is privately owned, our family thoroughly enjoys sharing it publicly with thousands of visitors each year.

We've long believed Papa's Pumpkin Patch and now Papa's Polar Patch are ways we can give back to the area which has given us so much. Who wouldn't want to be at a place where people are excited before, during and after their visit?

When children come to Papa's for a field trip, you can just feel the energy building as they wait for their train ride. Sometimes kids hardly get inside the gate before they take off at a dead run for the bale mazes. And I can't even count the number of parents who thank us for tiring their children out and granting them a "snooze cruise" on their way home.

Home Sweet Home. Whether it's a little pumpkin house or an entire pumpkin patch, we're happy to share it with you.

See you soon,

Papa
