Get ready to lose yourself in a sea of corn stalks at Maybury Farm's 2024 Corn Maze in
Northville, Michigan! This
fall favorite is back and better than ever, promising a maze-ing adventure for visitors of all ages.
A-maize-ing Fun for Everyone
At
50165 Eight Mile Road, Maybury Farm transforms its cornfield into a twisting, turning puzzle that'll have you scratching your head and laughing with friends. The farm offers not one but two mazes to tackle:
- The Mini-Maze: Perfect for little ones or those who prefer a quick corn fix, this one-acre wonder takes about 20 minutes to conquer.
- The Big Kahuna: For the brave souls ready to test their navigation skills, the nine-acre behemoth awaits. This corn colossus will keep you busy for a good hour, so bring your A-game and maybe a snack!
More Than Just Getting Lost
Sure, wandering through tall corn is fun, but Maybury Farm kicks it up a notch. You'll encounter a farm-themed scavenger hunt as you navigate the leafy labyrinth. It's like playing I-Spy while trying not to walk in circles – multitasking at its finest!
Wagon Rides and Autumn Vibes
Your corn maze adventure begins with a tractor-driven wagon ride to the field. It's the perfect chance to soak in the crisp fall air and practice your best farmer impression. "Yeehaw, y'all!" (Okay, maybe stick to "Wow, look at those trees!")
When to Get Your Corn On
The 2024 Corn Maze runs from
September 27th to November 3rd, with a few exceptions:
- Fridays: 5 PM - 8 PM (perfect for after-work unwinding)
- Saturdays: 10 AM - 8 PM (make a day of it!)
- Sundays: 10 AM - 7 PM (end your weekend on a high note)
Pro tip: The last wagon to the maze leaves 1.5 hours before closing time. Don't be that person sprinting across the parking lot, waving your arms frantically!
Note: The maze will be closed October 4-6 for the Great Fall Festival. But don't worry, there's plenty of other fall fun to be had that weekend!
Post-Maze Munchies and More
After you've conquered the corn (or it's conquered you), head back to the farm for some well-deserved treats. Fresh cider and donuts await to refuel your body and soothe your bruised ego if you get too lost.
While you're there, why not say hello to the farm animals? They're always up for a chat, especially if you've got some feedback. And don't forget to swing by the General Store for local goodies like honey and maple syrup. Nothing says,
"I survived the corn maze," like a jar of sweet, sticky goodness.
Wallet-Friendly Fall Fun
Now, let's talk turkey (or should we say corn?). Prices for this corny adventure are pretty reasonable:
- $13 per person when you buy tickets online in advance (look at you, planning ahead!)
- $15 per person if you decide to wing it and buy at the door
- $8 for farm members (finally, a membership that pays off in corn!)
- Kids under 2 get in free (they're probably not solving the maze anyway)
Your ticket includes the wagon ride, maze access, and quality time with the farm animals. Not bad for a day of fall festivities!
Why Corn Mazes, You Ask?
Well, why not? It's the perfect blend of outdoor activity, problem-solving, and agricultural appreciation. Plus, it's a great excuse to wear that flannel shirt you've been saving all summer.
Corn mazes are like real-life video games, minus the respawn button. You'll exercise your body and brain while breathing in that sweet, sweet corn air. It's a full-body workout disguised as fun. Take that, gym membership!
Tips for Maze Success (or at Least Survival)
- Wear comfortable shoes. This isn't the time to break in those new boots.
- Bring water. Corn doesn't grow in the desert for a reason.
- Use the buddy system. Getting lost is more fun with friends!
- Don't be afraid to ask for help. The corn won't judge you.
- Take pictures. They're great for your social media and for proving to your friends that you made it out.
Whether you're a maze master or a corn rookie, Maybury Farm's 2024 Corn Maze is the place to be this fall. It's got all the ingredients for a perfect autumn day: crisp air, crunchy leaves, and the constant fear of being outsmarted by vegetables. See you in the stalks, corn fans!
