School Field Trips
The Calgary Corn Maze, Petting Zoo & Fun Farm invites your school to attend one of Alberta's favourite and largest destinations for agri-fun and education.
On any given morning at the Calgary Corn Maze, you'll see the sights and hear the sounds of people laughing, learning and playing. Offering fun and educational field trips to students is a priority for us, especially since one of the maze founders is a teacher! Having grown up on farms, we believe it's important to provide an experience that teaches children have the importance of agriculture, and how farming really is cool. It just so happens that we're able to help accomplish that goal in a fun and unique way.
We invite you to bring your students to come get lost in our classroom in the corn! Each field trip includes:
-
Online curriculum materials for you to share with your students before and after a visit to our farm
-
An educational trip through the 500,000 square foot corn maze - the largest puzzle in Southern Alberta
-
A visit with our furry friends at the petting zoo
- Access to our jumping pillows and regular site attractions including pedal karts, farm playground activities, giant slides, mini mazes, rubber duck races, and more

We balance affordability with fun. The cost is $7 per student. Teachers, chaperones (1:6 ratio) and bus drivers are free. Kindergarten classes receive a 1:4 ratio. Additional adults are $7. GST is not included in the price.

Length of Stay
You are welcome to stay with us as long as you like. Although groups spend an average of three hours with us, we recommend you choose your length of your stay based on the age and needs of your group.
On-line Learning Resources
Hands-on learning experiences are always best when students have been prepared for what they are about to encounter and are able to then discuss what they learned afterwards. We are pleased to offer the Classroom in the Corn learning series to make your field trip more exciting and memorable ... as well as a better learning experience.
Our Teacher Resource Guides are broken into separate grade ranges and each include: activity goals, preparation required, materials needed, worksheets, and step-by-step instructions.
