This pumpkin patch is located just south of Norfolk. It is smaller in comparison to the pumpkin…read morepatches in Omaha, but is also significantly more affordable. My husband and I went with my sister, her husband, and my 2-year-old niece on a Saturday afternoon and the activities were great for a child this age and up to around age 10. It is geared toward children, so it probably wouldn't be very interesting for a group of teens or adults without younger kids. Admission is pretty affordable ($6 per person - no charge for children under age 2). I didn't actually confirm it, but I am pretty sure everything is cash-only, as I didn't see anyone paying with credit cards or machines that could process a credit card. Some activities cost extra (the zip line was $6 and the train ride was $2), but most of the activities are included in the admission price.
They have a small cafe set in a semi-finished barn that serves reasonably-priced food items such as nachos, hot dogs, brats, caramel apples, and popcorn. I ordered a brat with chips and a bottled water for $5. The food isn't fancy, but it is affordable. There is plenty of seating in the barn, and you can also buy crafts that are for sale and children can ride a small carousel for 25 cents. They also offer free face painting on the weekends.
Some of the attractions that are offered are a "jungle walk" (a 20-minute nature walk through a forrest), a giant slide, trike races, pony rides, train rides, old-fashioned buildings (jail, etc.), crafts, a small pumpkin patch, a zip line, and several "petting zoo" areas. You can also buy pumpkins and gourds at the exit. They had a very good selection and very reasonable prices (we got a very large pumpkin, two very large gourds, and two mini gourds for $20).
The only thing I really wasn't a fan of was the petting zoo displays. The animals are pretty depressing. The horses seemed miserable and a little terrified and it was really off-putting. They also had a display with two pigs (that were fighting over a plastic grocery sack that had blown in their enclosure), a pen with goats, and a bunny enclosure. There were signs all over that all of the animals bite, so it seemed a little odd that these displays were advertised as "petting zoos." Although I did pet a horse and a goat with no bites, so maybe this is just a precaution. There are no restrooms - only outhouses.
Overall this is a great outdoor activity for kids. It is much more cost-effective that other similar options in Nebraska (I'm looking at you, Omaha), and is a great way to spend a day with kids. It has enough activities to keep a young child's attention for several hours without being so large it is overwhelming. I would definitely recommend a trip here if you are in the area.
