Our A-MAZE-ing Heritage

A 6-Acre Corn Maze!

NOTE: We will start taking reservations Monday, August 1, 2010.

INFORMATION

Our corn maze offers a challenge that will inspire creativity and teamwork. This is a great activity for school field trips, home school groups, youth groups, scout troops, church groups, sports teams, birthday parties, or corporate team building programs. Your group will first receive some instruction from our staff, who are there to help you. Then spend some time in our interactive 6-acre corn maze with a couple of miles of paths, a bridge, and clues. Afraid you might get lost? Our Maze Masters will be on hand to get you back on track!

OUR A-MAZE-ING HERITAGE will focus this year on the history of our country beginning with early colonization up through our Founding Fathers. The maze is cut to represent the Mayflower.

As you walk throughout the many passageways of the maze, you will come across signs with pictures and questions that will test your knowledge about our early history. A trivia question is posted on each sign. Two answers are listed below the question. If you think the first answer is right, you go left. If you think the second is correct, you go right.

If you guess the correct answer to the question, you will take the correct path. If you choose the answer that is incorrect, you will take a wrong path. This adds lots of fun because wrong answers will get you lost!

Our maze offers a fun outing that is also educational. The maze is designed to be completed in 45-90 minutes.

*All those who complete “OUR A-MAZE-ING HERITAGE” will receive a free pocket copy of the U.S. Constitution!

*To add a touch of humor, you will find picture "corn”undrums around our activity areas.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How long will it take to get through the maze?

It all depends on how many wrong turns you take. The average person will finish the maze within ¾ to 1 ½ hours. For those who are afraid about the time it would take to finish the maze, we will have people in the maze (corn cops) who can help you find an exit.

Will I get lost?
While everyone does get a little bit lost, the maze has been designed to be an interactive activity that makes a trip to the maze more than just a walk through a field of corn.

Can we bring food to cook over the public bonfire at the Flashlight Maze?

We do not allow any cooking over the bonfire. However, food can be purchased at our concession and eaten as you sit around the bonfire.

Can I bring my pet?

Sorry, we do not allow pets. Exceptions will be made for assistance dogs.

Is the big maze ok for small children?

We recommend that families with small children try the maze and use the short cut exit if necessary.

Can we leave and come back?

You may leave and return as often as you like in the same operating day. You must retain your wristband for reentry. This includes going to your car for any reason.

Can my children come to the maze by themselves?

Anyone under the age of 15 must have an accompanying adult.

Can food be brought onto the property?

Yes, food can be brought in or can be purchased at our concession. Sorry, no grilling allowed.
