It’s that time of year in Vermont. The leaves are turning their beautiful fall color and there’s that crisp feel of autumn in the air. What a better time then to visit the corn mazes that we have throughout the state?
The Great Vermont Corn Maze in Danville, VT in the heart of the Northeast Kingdom is one of the Top Ten Corn Mazes in America. They are open daily (weather permitting) at 10:00 am through 10/18/15. Make sure you get there before 1:00 pm if you want to solve the maze without any major clues. Check out this video to see what a day at the maze looks like. They have a new maze every year and they always add new surprises. Get to the “bell of success” and you have made it to the end. They also have plenty of other attractions that the whole family will enjoy. Like visiting the barnyard animals, kid village, and 100 feet of underground tunnels.

Hathaway Farm located in Rutland, VT is the biggest corn maze in Vermont and is also ranked #2 in the nation for corn mazes for families! Wind your way through 12 acres of corn and miles of paths to solve their “Under the Sea Maze”. This year they just added SMARTPHONE GAMES FOR THE MAZE. You can pull up a copy of the maze right on your phone using your GPS function. The “choose a character” option lets you see exactly where you are lost in the maze. You’ll still be lost, but you will be able to see yourself! These are just some of the many things you can do as you wind your way through to the end. For more information visit Hathaway Farm.
