Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are you handicap accessible?
A: Only our corn maze and barnyard are handicap accessible. We have a wheelchair accessible port-a-potty on site and our corn maze paths are five feet wide.
ScreamAcres and PanDEMONium are not handicap accessible.
Q: Can I bring my dog with me?
A: As much as we love animals, we do not allow any outside animals on our farm unless they are a certified service animal.
Q: Can I smoke while I'm here?
A:You can only smoke in the parking lot. Please finish smoking before you enter the farm and place your cigarette butts in our "Butt Bucket". We try to keep a clean, family-friendly environment for all of our visitors to enjoy.
Absolutely NO smoking in the cornfields!
This is a serious threat to everyone on site, as cornfields are very flammable!
Q: Are there refunds if I have to leave because of rainy weather conditions?
A: No, we do not do refunds. In the event we need to close due to bad weather we will give you an admission ticket to come back. These tickets do not expire so you can come back next year if it is close to the end of our season.
If you have ScreamAcres and Pandemonium tickets you can bring them back as long as they have not been torn by our attraction admission staff.
Q: Do you accept checks?
A: We cannot accept personal checks. If you are coming in an organization group, we can accept a business check, but that is the only exception. Please look at our prices page to see accepted forms of payment.

Our farm is unique in the variety of fall attractions we offer. There is something that everyone can enjoy while experiencing the beautiful farm countryside.

Q: How big is the corn maze?
A: The corn maze, which is divided into two parts, is composed of pathways in a 7 acre field. It may not sound like much, but wait 'til you get out there in all of the twists and turns!
*Our corn maze is NOT haunted. The Haunted Attractions are on the other side of the farm*
Q: Will I get lost in the maze?
A: We hope that you do. After all, getting lost and then finding your way out is the idea! Everyone will be lost to a different degree, and there are passports available that can help you find your way through while testing your knowledge of various topics, if you choose to use them.
We also have Corn Cops patrolling the maze. If you need pointed in the right direction or would like to get out fast they will be available to assist you!

A: This varies for everyone. It generally takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to get through both parts of the maze... that is if you don't take to many wrong turns!
Q: What should I wear?
A: Keep in mind you are coming to a working farm. You will be outdoors and walking in grass, dirt pathways, and the ground may be uneven at times. Boots and sneakers are going to be your best choice.
We do not recommend heels of any kind or open toed shoes.
Q: Can I bring my own food to your farm?
A: No. We do not allow outside food to be brought onto the farm. We offer a wide variety of food and drinks at our concession stand, along with a picnic area for you to enjoy your meal.
*If you are having a birthday party you can bring cake, cupcakes and ice cream, however you must provide your own table service, drinks and other concessions can be purchased at the concessions stand.*
Q: Are any activities closed due to COVID-19?
A: Unfortunately we will not have our corn box, costume characters or face painting this year. We didn't feel that we could safely disinfect the corn , maintain social distancing adequately enough for face painting and know the kiddos love to hug the costume characters and we didn't want them to be sad when they couldn't.
