Corn Mazes

When thinking about fall, two activities immediately come to mind: apple and pumpkin picking. A unique alternative to these common activities is finding your way through a corn maze.

Usually open from the end of august until the end of Halloween, mazes are the perfect fall activity for friends and families of all ages.

Though you won’t realize it while you navigate the maze, most mazes are shaped into pictures of iconic people or things.

This year, Mike’s Maze, located in Sunderland, Mass., is constructed into a Campbell’s Soup can.

Years past mazes have been shaped to look like the Mona Lisa, King Tut, and Charles Darwin.

“It’s amazing that they can make the maze into a picture,” said Angela Halliday, 22. “It makes it that much more fun.”

The maze is named one of 1000 Great Places To Visit In Massachusetts, according to Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism, and received the 2009 “Best Bargain” award from Yankee Magazine.

Mike’s Corn Maze is an affordable, interesting, and exciting attraction that’s right in our backyard!

Admission for children under 13 is $6, while all other others pay $9. Students and senior citizens receive a $1 discount.

Mike’s Corn Maze at Warner Farm is located on 25 South Main St. in Sunderland, Mass.

  1. I love the maze and that great camera obscura they have there. It's really a well-run operation, I think.
