How is the Maze is Made?
It all starts with planting the corn in two directions so the corn grows in a grid. When the corn was about 6-10 inches tall, we went through the corn and cut it by hand using our map of the field. From the air it should look like a man on a tractor pulling a hay wagon by a barn.
How big is the maze and how long will it take me to get through it?
It’s about seven acres! There’s about 2 1/2 miles of trails and can be walked through in about 20 - 60 minutes. Don’t be in a hurry! It might take you much longer! There are also hayrides, campfires, and a play area for children so give yourself time to relax and enjoy the country.
What if I get lost?
You will get lost! That’s part of the fun. But don’t panic, there really is a way out and we encourage you to find it. We will have maps available if you want to use one. If you can’t find your way out, we’ll find you when we harvest the corn! Just kidding! We’ll have our “Corn Cops” walking through the corn to help people out if they need it!
What do we do in the maze?
Your main goal is to wander around the curves, paths, and dead ends until you find your way out. There’s also a word game to play as you walk through the maze. If you figure out the saying on your card, you get a free Dum Dum Pop! Not a huge prize, but believe me, you’ll feel like you won a new car!
Do I need to bring anything?
Nothing other than a desire for adventure! We do have a list things you might want to know before entering the maze on our “FAQ’s” page.
Are there any rules?
Yes! In order for things to run smoothly and for this to be a family friendly activity, we do have rules. You can find the list of them on the “FAQ’s” page. We will be strict about the rules so that the maze property does not get damaged and no one gets hurt.
Is the maze for small children?
By all means, bring your children! Children under 13 are required to go through the maze with an adult. Very small children will get tired so you may want to bring a large wheel wagon or large wheel stroller to pull them. The ground is uneven and soft in spots so a regular stroller is not recommended.
Is there anyone who should not go through the maze?
If you are clausterphobic or panic easily you probably should not enter the maze. Also if you are pregnant, or have some other health issue that would make it difficult to walk for 20 minutes to one hour, you may not want to enter the maze. You enter at your own risk! If you want a shorter maze experience, find your way to the bridge, look around, and come back out.
What is the Nightime Maze all about?
Doing the maze during the day is a lot of fun, but going through it at night adds a whole new element to the fun! You will be required to have a flashlight as you wander around in the dark listening to the corn rustling. You never know what might be around a corner! We are family friendly so we will not be “haunting” the maze. Even so, it’s a neat experience and teens and adults will love it!
Will you be open for Halloween?
We will be closed before Halloween, so no, we will not be open for Halloween or for any Halloween activities.
Are there bathrooms?
Not in the maze! We will have a portable restroom with hand sanitizer and wet wipes for your convience on the property. Make sure your children know this before they enter!
Anything else I need to know?
The maze paths will get very muddy after rain so occassionally we may have to close the maze. If you have any questions you can call our maze number at 218-469-3390. Also, there is a small snack shop to buy soft drinks, water, candy, smores, flashlights, glow products, etc.
