18 Ways You Can Enjoy Halloween With the Whole Family in the Omaha Area!

The leaves are changing, football is in full swing and the chill in the air brings one of my favorite holidays, Halloween. Halloween in the Omaha area is truly special; the thought of the short drive to corn fields and dirt roads builds the perfect fall atmosphere. There is never a shortage of activities whether you’re looking for haunted houses, pumpkin patches or corn mazes.

If you are looking to take the family through a corn maze with all the attractions of a pumpkin patch, there are many to choose from. Within the Omaha area, there is Skinny Bones Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze which is located in Blair, Camp Fontanell Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze in Fontanell, NE, Roca Berry Farm which is just south of Lincoln in Roca, NE, Wenninghoff’s Farm and Pumpkin patch located on the corner of Wenninghoff Road and Sorensen Parkway and Uncle LeRoy’s Pumpkin Patch located in Denison, IA.

If you are looking for a more traditional pumpkin patch (most include haunted attractions as well), there are many area favorites. Entering its 29th year, Vala’s Pumpkin Patch is located in Grenta, NE and has become a staple in Omaha culture. Other great options include the Bellevue Berry Farm and Pumpkin Ranch, Bloom Where You’re Planted in Avoca, NE, Martin’s Hillside Orchard  in Ceresco, NE and across the river there is Pioneer Trail Orchard and Pumpkin Patch in Council Bluffs, IA.

If a truly haunted experience is what you are looking for, there are nearly a dozen in the Omaha area. Mystery Manor is located in the heart of downtown Omaha, "Nightmare on Q Street" at Fun-Plex, Scary Acres, The Shadow's Edge, Eagle Hollow Haunts which located at Eagle Raceway, Spooktacular  that is set up in the Henry Doorly Zoo, the Gateway of Chaos in Malvern, IA, Haunted Hollow Haunted Theme Park, Blood Lust Ultimate Haunted Attraction and the Terror on 12th Street in Crete are just a handful to mention that are just minutes from the Omaha area.
