Lots
of ways to enjoy the Fun!
Wondering
what a visit to The MAiZE might entail? Do you fit the profile of a typical
maze-goer?
Well ... good news ... because there are ENDLESS Ways to enjoy
the maze ... and the real fun is in the JOURNEY! We had 7000 school kids
and 20,000 total visitors last year. We are already excited and
preparing for fall. This
is a perfect adventure for groups of all kinds by day or night - field
trips, company outings, scouts, teambuilding, Birthday parties and church
groups.
Pumpkin
Pickin'
Pumpkin patches are ready for the picking and ornamental corn and gourds
are also grown.
Corn Cannon and Cow Train Rides
Come and take your best shot with our corn cannon. Four shots for a buck.
Hit the targets to win prizes. And take a ride around the farm on our
cow train. Corn cannon is 3 shots for $1 Cowtrain is $1 each.
Hayrides
and Campfires
Enjoy an old fashioned hay ride around the farm for $1. You can ride to
the pumpkin patch to pick your pumpkin or just enjoy the scenery. Campfires
begin each night at sunset. Smores and hot chocolate for sale in concession
for 50cents.
Barnyard
of Animals
Enjoy the barnyard of farm animals.
Facilities
A covered tent area, concession stand, campfires, nice (and somewhat authentic)
porta-potty-type working outhouses complete with crescent moon, working
windmill and water pump are on the farm.
Halloween
Mazes are seasonal and typically operate during the fall months of
September and October, we are a natural choice for a Halloween destination
and may give you the chance to pick out the perfect pumpkin to take home!
Creative ways to enjoy the Maize:
So whether you use one of our ideas or come up with a new one of your
own, there's plenty of fun to be had and no two trips through the maze
are ever quite the same. Here are a few reasons why...
1.) GOOD CLEAN
FUN for kids! Kids love to run and explore ... and this is the perfect
place to run off some energy and have fun finding their way out of the
maze.
2.) FAMILY NIGHT!
Whether it be husbands vs. wives, parents vs. kids, or even grandparents
vs. grandkids, competitions for the best times through the maze are a
regular favorite.
3.) DATE NIGHT!
Couples, both unmarried and married, love to visit the maze on dates.
Whether they stick together, split up and battle against each other for
the quickest times, or create their own unique adventure (some have even
come blindfolded!), they all share an experience they won't soon forget.
Sitting by the fire is romantic and peaceful and who doesn't need that?
4.) WORK GROUPS
and TEAM BUILDING: We've played host to many work groups seeking a
teambuilding activity or escape from the busy office. Some have even reserved
the maze for company parties.
5.) WORK YOUR BRAIN:
Though the exit is certainly the desired destination, we believe the real
fun is in the journey. Because of this, we've created a series of passports
and riddle cards to make the search more interactive and entertaining.
6.) SCOUT TROOPS
find the maze to be the perfect location to build unity and, in some
cases, brush up on their orientation skills. The "Scouting Passports"
we provide help make for a fun and educational activity.
7.) CHURCH GROUPS:
Church groups seeking a good source of "clean" fun have also
found opportunities to take away religious messages from their experience
at the maze. A great way to maximize this type of visit is to use another
of our Q&A guides.
8.) PARTIES: We've
become a favorite destination for birthday parties as well. Why?
Well there are lots of reasons, but our favorite theory is that birthday
moms welcome the opportunity for the kids to run and play in a safe, fun,
wholesome place where good times are easy to find!
9.) Entire
high schools have enjoyed taking their rivalries off the ball field
and into the cornfield! Some even take us up on our offer of pre-selling
tickets as a unique fundraising opportunity.
10.) Though
we certainly have no required dress code (except to remind you that this
is a cornfield and sturdy shoes are usually helpful), we have been surprised
at what some of our visitors have shown up wearing. Having a little fun
and showing off their spirit, many have come in camouflage, their school
colors, and even costumes during the Halloween season.
A FIELD OF DREAMS?
Our unique brand
of good farmin' fun has an appeal that is perhaps most obvious to families.
The perfect activity for kids, parents and grandparents, some of our favorite
memories are of watching the bonding moments that take place as families
work together to navigate their way to the exit. Believe it or not, it's
the kids who usually take the prize for the best sense of direction!
CORN COPS
Not everyone you encounter inside the maze will be lost. Because it's
our goal to make sure that your journey is as easy or as hard as you want
it to be, we've equipped each maze with "Corn Cops."
These trained employees will not only ensure that rules are followed,
but are happy to provide a helping hand and point you in the right direction
if asked.
The bottom line is that there is no typical maze-goer. Regardless of who
you are and which way you choose to enjoy the maze ... we have no doubt
that you'll leave having found what you came looking for (with the
possible exception of the exit - we can't make any promises there!)
