Who doesn’t love wholesome outdoor fun? The Downey’s Farm Corn Maze is the perfect way to challenge yourself, enjoy some sunshine, and get your steps in while you’re at it.

There are three levels of play in this winding corn labyrinth, so whether you’ve got little ones in tow or want to put your skills to the test, this activity is a perfect challenge for all ages.

Once you escape the maze, you can participate in over 25 different activities throughout the farm, including a visit with animals, wagon rides, jumping pillows, and pumpkin picking during Pumpkinfest.

There are some ground rules to be mindful of before you enter the maze. It’s important that you buddy up and stick together so nobody is left behind.

Visitors are asked to stay on the trails and respect the crop by leaving the corn on the stalks.

Horseplay is not tolerated in the maze, and the last entrance of the day is no later than 4 p.m., as the maze closes at 5 p.m.

And before you head home for the day, be sure to stop in the farm store for delicious baked goods, fresh produce, and more.
