  Farm Fun Field Trips at Scott's Maze Adventures

     It all started with just a 7-acre corn field... Now it has become a tradition with many of our guests. It's a maze, it's a game, it's educational, and it's FUN! Year after year each corn maze has a unique design, with twisting pathways, questions and answers, and picture rubbings. Corn Maze & Adventure Area are ONLY open to the General Public in the Fall on weekends, one special weekday, and for a few special events or Private Parties throughout the year. There two Corn Mazes, a 1 acre and a 6-acre corn maze, with lots of paths and plenty of room. There are employees inside the maze and on the bridge to monitor and help guests. Everyone is shown a short video about the maze and the rules before entering the Adventure area. We ask you to divide into groups of 4 to 6, with an adult in every group. Each group enters the maze with a flag and a game sheet. We encourage teamwork in finding your way through the maze and completing the game sheet. It is a fun way to learn about our yearly theme.
