Berndt Family Pumpkin Patch
Berndt Family Pumpkin Patch in White takes the top spot, rated 5.0 out of 5 from 10 reviews. Visitors come here for farm store.
47922 206th St, 57276
Farm storeBerndt Family Pumpkin Patch is ranked #1 on this list, located at 47922 206th St, White, SD, 57276. It carries a 5.0-out-of-5 rating on Google from 10 reviews, which puts it among the more established pumpkin patches we track near White. Beyond the pumpkin field itself, it's tagged for farm store, so there's usually more to a visit than just picking a pumpkin and heading home.
Google hasn't surfaced a set of recurring review themes for Berndt Family Pumpkin Patch yet, so there isn't a themed summary of what visitors say to pass along here — the star rating and review count above remain the clearest public signal until more detail comes in. Most pumpkin patches share a similar core visit regardless of what's formally listed: a field or lot of pumpkins priced individually or by weight, sometimes reached by a short wagon ride, with an extra attraction like a corn maze or animal area running at many farms in season. What's actually open on a given day depends on the week and the weather, so the listing above is a starting point rather than the full picture.
Hours aren't listed for Berndt Family Pumpkin Patch in our data. Most pumpkin patches run daily or weekends-only from mid-September through the first days of November, but the surest way to know is to call ahead or check the farm's website before you drive out. Admission pricing isn't listed for Berndt Family Pumpkin Patch either — pumpkin patches generally charge one of three ways (free entry with pumpkins priced individually or by weight, a flat gate admission bundling attractions, or a per-attraction wristband system), so it's worth asking which applies here before you go. It accepts checks, debit cards, snap/ebt and credit cards, though it's still smart to carry some cash — field admission and wagon rides at farms like this are sometimes handled separately from the main store.
Like most working farms, the exact open and close dates for Berndt Family Pumpkin Patch can shift year to year with weather and how the pumpkin crop comes in, even though the general window is fairly predictable. If you're planning a special trip, a weekday morning is consistently the quietest time to go, with shorter waits for wagon rides and easier parking than a weekend afternoon. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy — pumpkin fields are working farmland rather than paved lots, and they get soft fast after rain — and call ahead if it's rained heavily in the last day or two, since field access and hayrides are usually the first things a farm closes when the ground is saturated. Layers help too: fall mornings can start cold and warm up quickly once the sun is over an open field.
Berndt Family Pumpkin Patch sits, near White, SD, with parking typically in a grass field rather than a paved lot — allow a few extra minutes on busy weekends for staff or volunteers to direct traffic, and if you're navigating by GPS rather than the link on this page, search the farm name directly rather than just the street address, since rural addresses sometimes route to the wrong gate.

It carries a 5.0-out-of-5 rating on Google from 9 reviews, which puts it among the more established pumpkin patches we track near Burke.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best pumpkin patch to visit for Halloween in South Dakota?
Based on rating and review volume, Berndt Family Pumpkin Patch ranks first among the pumpkin patches we track in South Dakota, with a 5.0-out-of-5 rating. See the full breakdown above, or its full listing for hours and directions.
When's the best time to visit before Halloween?
The two weekends before Halloween are the most popular — and most crowded — for picking a carving pumpkin, since the field selection is still strong but the pumpkin won't sit around rotting for weeks. A weekday morning in that same window gets you the same selection with a much shorter line.
Do pumpkin patches run out of pumpkins before Halloween?
The best-picked sizes and shapes can thin out in the final week, especially at smaller or heavily-visited farms. If a specific size or look matters for carving, visiting earlier in October is the safer bet than waiting for Halloween week itself.
Can I pick a pumpkin and do other Halloween activities the same trip?
Often, yes — many pumpkin patches also run a corn maze, hayride or haunted attraction on the same property, so it's worth checking the feature tags on each listing above before you go if you want to combine picking a pumpkin with other activities in one visit.
Are these pumpkin patches busy on Halloween weekend?
Generally yes — the final weekend before Halloween is the busiest of the season at most farms. If a quieter visit matters more than picking on the exact weekend, a weekday or the first half of October is usually a calmer option with the same farm.
