Tips from parents

The two-acre maze is built from hay bales and has a new design every year. Plan on about an hour, and longer with little ones.
The maze has staffed emergency exits, so a nervous child can leave partway through.
The Minotaur walks the maze on weekends and gives golden pumpkins to kids 10 and under.
Younger kids can try the Play Land kid-size maze, pony rides, the petting zoo and the train.
Weekends get crowded and parking is tight. Weekdays are much quieter.

Hours change. Check the website before you go.
