What should I wear to the corn maze?
We recommend dressing appropriately for the weather conditions (which could almost be anything in Alberta). Things to pack could include hats, sunscreen, and/or umbrellas. We also recommend that you wear sturdy footwear (e.g. running shoes) that is suitable for outdoor and potentially uneven surfaces. You are visiting a farm, so there is a possibility your clothes may get a little dirty...especially if your one of those people who like to play hard.
Yes - most of the time. As a visit to the maze is an outdoor activity, the pathways may become muddy after long periods of heavy rainfall. Brief periods of rain usually do not affect the conditions of the maze. The best bet would be to check our updates section (located on the right side of our webpage) before you are thinking of coming to find out about the conditions.
When you visit the Calgary Corn Maze, you may come in contact with pollen, animals, and insects. Although there is nothing out of the ordinary that you couldn't come in to contact anywhere else, we do suggest you bring any allergy medications, etc. that you feel are necessary.
Pets are allowed on site Wednesday evenings (starting at 4 pm). Bring your K-9 friend for a walk in the maze.
The average length of stay is 3.5 hours. Most families and groups spend a whole afternoon or evening with us. There are people however who just visit to do the corn mazes. If this is your plan, give yourself 1.5 hours to complete the corn mazes.
The great thing about the corn maze is that it's not age specific as we have something for everyone. Small children typically spend the majority of time on our playground activities than in the mazes, while adults typically spend more time in the mazes, and with activities such as the corn cannons.
The height of the corn is dependent on the weather we receive. Strong winds, frost. hail and snow damage plant height and density over the course of our season. If your intent is to visit the corn maze in its peak condition, we recommend visiting us mid to late August. In a typical growing year, the lifecycle of the corn is as follows: Late-July: Corn reaches 5 feet and above. Mid-late August: Corn reaches its peak height (8 feet and above) and full density. Early-September or when the first hard frost occurs: Corn begins changing from green to fall yellow and plant height and density begins to reduce. Late-September to early-October: Corn is full yellow in color. Mid-late October: The corn is harvested before the snow settles in for the winter. Once the corn reaches 5 feet and above, the corn is tall enough that people can no longer determine which path to take next even though they may be able to see over the tops of the corn.
