Skinny Bones Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze family of owner-farmers packs acres of autumnal activities into a rolling outdoor landscape. Grab a co-explorer for a happily confusing trek through JJ’s Corn Maze, a 10-acre labyrinth of towering maize stalks that, like the Monopoly boards that grow on the bottom of most lakes, is nature’s way of convincing people to play with it. An idyllic pumpkin patch produces pickable jack-o’-lantern candidates (pumpkins are $.35/lb.), and a haunted barn maze gives shelter-seeking ghouls a chance to ply their trade indoors. Other activities, including a hayrack ride, Nerf gun war zone, face painting, and a bounce castle, challenge throngs of energetic kids and their excessively high fun thresholds.

About Skinny Bones Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze
As a boy, Jeff Bledsoe anxiously awaited autumn, when the pumpkins he planted each year warmed to an orange hue along with the falling leaves. Eventually Jeff also bloomed, married wife Maria, and spawned five pumpkin-planters of his own. But he never lost his childhood fascination for all things autumn, namely the events that come alive every year on October 31. At Skinny Bones Cornmaze & Pumpkin Patch, he, Maria, and their brood have converted Jeff’s interest into their lifeblood. Jeff personally maps out and plants the 10-acre corn maze with 10-foot stalks each year, according to an Omaha.com feature, but he leaves Saturday-night spooking up to the staff of scarers that haunts the field after hours. After meandering through the maze, guests can pick their own pumpkins, enjoy hayrack rides, or make lifelong friends with goats that rarely talk back at the petting zoo. That’s in addition to the haunted-barn maze, Mad Cow ride, bounce house, and Nerf-gun war zone that also offer entertainment on crisp fall afternoons.
