This year's maze at Treworgy is dragon-themed and looks like a great time. Visitors will follow clues to find their way out, but if you're not a good clue-follower, don't fret. This maze is fairly easy for everyone. And, all those who take a chance in the maze will finish with free ice cream! Entry is $8 for adults and $7 for children. The fun really kicks up on October 22nd when the night maze takes place. The orchard promises that it's not meant to be scary and all will have fun.
Part of the fun at the Zach's Farm maze is the 20-minute hayride to get there. The maze itself is located across 17 acres of corn fields. If you're looking for a little extra fun, look out for their evening flashlight tag nights taking place outside the maze at 7:00 p.m. Entry to the maze is $9.
This seventh generation family farm in Southern Maine features pick-your-own apples, pumpkins, cider donuts, weekend hay rides and, of course, a challenging corn maze.
This year's maze is significantly more complicated looking than this one from a few years ago. This year the maze celebrates the Maine chapter of United Farmer Veterans, which supports veterans wanting to farm in the state. Come visit to give the maze a try and you'll have the opportunity to speak with veteran advocacy groups who will be at the maze sharing the work they do to support the state of Maine and veterans in our communities. Entry is $8, which includes parking, a free hayride, petting zoo with farm animals, an obstacle course and corn box.
This challenging corn maze focuses on a specific theme each year. You can visit every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6 pm through October 27th. Entry is $8.00 per person, which includes access to the maze, the play area, hay ride, jumping pillow, and one ride on the cow train.
This maze spans a six-acre area and includes lots of tricky twists, turns and no-way-out corners. While this can take up to an hour to figure out, those who are easily frustrated will be able to make a quick escape to give an easy-out about halfway through. Entry is $9 per person, which includes access to all farm activities. Come on Fridays for a slight discount of $7 per person between 9am and 2pm.
Ricker Hill Orchards is a Maine mainstay. They've been in operation for more than nine generations in Maine's foothills. In addition to apple picking you'll find lots of fun activities including the wonderfully tricky corn maze.
