Spanning 1–2 acres, The Great Maze is one of the most accessible fall attractions around. Built with beautiful white cedar plank walls, it offers an elevated, long-lasting, and immersive maze experience. For years, we were known for our towering straw bale maze. Featuring 7-foot cedar walls that deliver an epic challenge and family fun.
Unlike your average corn maze, you can’t see through the walls or cut through the stalks—no shortcuts here! With narrow, winding pathways, the average time to complete the maze is 45 minutes to an hour, giving the same challenge as a traditional corn maze but with a fraction of the walking distance.
Whether you’re racing through the maze, exploring the corn pit there’s something for everyone. It’s a perfect way to kick off fall and make memories with family and friends.
