Our field trip groups almost all opt for doing the maze. Depending on the age of the group, we'll close off a section of the maze for the kids to "get lost" in. The real maze is far too large for us to open it for field trips....it would simply take way too long. This smaller section of the maze has its own set of questions or trivia for the younger generations and is a great way to teach kids about corn!
The maze is a short wagon ride across the road from the farmstand. Depending on the field trip plan, we usually make a loop of it and go to the pumpkin patch as part of the ride. Our special pumpkins seem to leave a giant smile on every child's face!
