About the Corn Maze:

Travelers are issued a Corn Maze Passport featuring educational content and ten trivia questions related to the corn maze theme; bees! Answering each question correctly will help choose the right direction at each of the ten main crossroad stations within the maze.

We have Corn Cops positioned within the maze for extra guidance and assistance if needed.

We have 2 phases of our corn maze, phase 1 for those shorter trips through the maze and its great for kids. Phase 2 is for those longer trips through the maze.

The average time needed to navigate the entire maze is 30-40 minutes phase 1 and 60 minutes for phase 2.
