What People Are Saying
“So much to do, lots of fun! There’s a corn maze, hay ride, different games like the corn cannon, pumpkin patch, and animals to pet. We bought the delicious donuts, apple cider and caramel covered apple. We also tried out the hot dog, fries and fried corn cob. Yum! Great place to go to unwind and enjoy some fresh air.”
Fayzah Y.
“My family has come here for at least the past 4-5 years and we love it here! The different designs that they put into the corn maze are so impressive and fun. The owner took the time to explain to me how they logistically make it each year in casual conversation, which I thought was very kind. I look forward to it each year. Price is reasonable!”
Julie K.
“Eleven of us went through the corn maze. We separated into two groups and raced each other to see which one got out first. We all had a great time and my team made it through in less than 40 minutes to win the challenge. Great time for all ages.”
