See the Corn Maze website for regular updates on any activities or stations that may change function or close due to safety precautions
The Maze:
The maze is cut into a 15 acre field of corn. From start to finish, it takes people an average of 1-1.5 hours to complete. The maze designed to be an interactive activity and you won’t actually get stuck in there! Lots of signs guide you through, and you have the option of taking a passport – the top ten questions will help you find your way through the maze.
There are also portable bathrooms on site with hand washing stations. The admission window is attached to an little store where you can find gifts, fresh fruit, treats, snacks like chips and popcorn, and drinks like water, pop and coffee.
Tips for bringing the kids:
- Note that ALL activities are outside. Bring hats and water bottles – It’s easy to heat up quickly on a very hot day. Mild weather days are our favorite, as the animals are more active and the kids can play longer
- Bring a picnic or snacks! You can purchase items at the concession, but you’re also allowed to bring your own
- Pets are allowed to come with you – as long as they are on a leash the entire time, and not brought near the animals on the farm *owners must clean after their pets*
- The maze is stroller accessible, but if it recently rained, the dirt paths become muddy and its harder to push through
