Is food available on-site?
Yes! We have food options available for purchase during the festival.
Can I bring my own food?
Yes! Outside food and snacks are permitted.
Corn Maze
How long does it take to get through the maze?
Each phase takes about 25–45 minutes depending on how well you follow the clues. The full maze may take 1.5–2 hours.
Is one phase harder than the other?
Yes—Phase 2 is more challenging, while Phase 1 is easier and better for beginners or younger kids.
Why is the maze shorter this year?
Ontario experienced a 7-week drought this summer with hot, dry days. While our corn didn’t grow as tall as usual, it’s still a great maze experience!
Special Events
What is Youth Group Night?
A special evening event for youth groups. Admission does not include pumpkins or wagon rides for safety reasons. Leaders must check in their full group at once to receive wristbands. Leaders are also responsible for final attendance when leaving.
What is Dog Day?
On select Saturdays, dogs are welcome at the festival! Owners must sign a dog waiver, keep pets leashed at all times, and clean up after them.
Can I book a private event?
Yes, we offer private corn maze rentals and group bookings. Please contact us for availability and pricing.
Accessibility & Safety
Is the farm wheelchair/stroller accessible?
The store and many outdoor areas are accessible, but please note the corn maze and pumpkin patch are on uneven farm fields.
