A huge 15-acre corn maze is calling your name!  Where can you get some good exercise, enjoy a fall day, laugh as a family and learn about agriculture all at the same time? AT A CORN MAZE! Come and get crazed by the maze!

The maze is divided into 3 phases. The first phase is for beginners, and those who consider themselves to be directionaly challenged! You can exit there, or go on to the 2nd, more difficult phase. If you are up to the challenge, continue through the 3rd, and most difficult phase. There are over 6 miles of twists and turns! Try it by the light of day, or try your luck by the light of the moon. We have 24 stations of trivia throughout the maze to challenge your brain!  It's a great time for people of all ages! Ideal for youth groups, school groups, church groups, scout groups, or companies that want to emphasize the importance of team work and building relationships in a relaxed, yet challenging atmosphere.

In addition to our huge corn maze, we also have many other activities including our "no-left turn" straw bale maze, rubber hose maze, rope maze, yard games and more!  Check out your skills at our Barnyard Apple Blaster!  (Barnyard Blaster activity costs extra).  It's sure to be A-MAZE-ING!
